The Computer Science Department is one of the five departments of the School of Pure and Applied Sciences in the University of Cyprus. The Department has a full-time staff of 19 faculty members, 5 visiting-faculty members, 3 teaching-staff members, over 40 full-time researchers, over 200 undergraduate and 100 postgraduate students. The Department is a research-oriented department active in several areas. The research interests of the Department vary from purely theoretical and foundational topics to applied development. Over the recent years, the Department has been continuing and strengthening its collaborations with other universities and research institutions all over the world, expanding its research into new areas.
Research in the area of Computer Architecture commenced in 1994. Currently, five faculty, six PhD students, and several masters and undergraduates are conducting research in various areas of Computer Architecture. The group expertise and contributions lie in several areas including: multi-cores, interconnection networks, reliability, power and temperature aware architectures, advanced memory technologies, data-driven multithreading, architecture-aware optimizations for database workloads, system-on-chip architectures, prediction and speculation techniques, architecture-aware optimizations for database workloads, dynamic dataflow graphs, cache redundancy, GPUs, and performance evaluation and benchmarking.
Several of the research activities are done in collaboration with groups in industry and academic institutions in Europe, Israel, and USA, and are funded from various sources including: European Union FP7, Intel, Cyprus Research Foundation, and University of Cyprus.
Prof Yiannakis Sazeides
Yiannakis Sazeides is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Cyprus since 2000. He was awarded a PhD degree in 1999 from the University of Wisconsin, Madison in Electrical Engineering. He worked in research labs for the development and design of high performance processors with Compaq in 1999 and Intel in 2001 and 2002. He is the leader of the Task Force on Reliability and Availability in HiPEAC2 Network of Excellence as of 2008 and he was a co-organizer of the 3rd Workshop on Dependable Architectures held in conjunction with Micro 2008. He was responsible for the organization of the HiPEAC 2009 conference in Cyprus. His current reliability research is partially funded by Intel through an Intel academic grant. His research interests lie in the area of Computer Architecture with particular emphasis in chip multicores (temperature, memory hierarchy and scheduling issues), reliability, cache redundancy and compression, dynamic dataflow graphs and prediction.
