Kimura Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that advances computers with automatic parallelizing compilers and multicore processors.
AboutAbout the lab
Building high-performance, energy-efficient computers
The Kimura Lab studies multicore processors and automatic parallelizing compilers.
The lab pursues ways to run "multicore" processors, which place multiple CPU "cores" on a single chip, with high performance and low power consumption.
Jointly with the Kasahara Lab, the lab studies the "OSCAR compiler," which automatically distributes a program across cores, and the multicore processors suited to it.
The lab also works on speeding up and reducing the power consumption of a variety of applications on multicores, such as scientific and technical computing and image recognition.
Key terms
- Multicore
- A processor that has multiple processing units (cores) within a single chip
- Automatic parallelizing compiler
- Software that automatically rewrites a single program into a form that can run simultaneously on multiple cores
- Architecture
- The design approach that determines how a computer or processor is structured

The Kimura Lab studies multicore processors and automatic parallelizing compilers from both the hardware and software sides. Jointly with the Kasahara Lab, the lab aims at computers that deliver high processing performance with low power consumption.
*Illustrative imageMulticore Processors
The lab studies how to configure multicore processors that work together with the compiler to deliver high performance with low power consumption. It has also developed multicore chips for consumer electronics jointly with Hitachi and Renesas.
*Illustrative imageAutomatic Parallelizing Compiler (OSCAR)
The lab works on memory optimization, inter-core communication, and power optimization using the "OSCAR compiler." Jointly with companies, it has also released a mechanism for running the compiler on a variety of multicore processors.
*Illustrative imageParallelized Applications
The lab studies optimization on multicores for applications used in practice, such as scientific and technical computing, video and audio processing, and image recognition.
