CASCADE poster event
2025-03-11We held our first official CASCADE event in March 2025 — a poster session displaying a selection of research in Computer Architecture within the Department. We don't yet have any students in CASCADE, since the first cohort will start in October 2025, so we invited everyone working in the broad area to present their posters. We had a great turnout of both presenters and attendees from a range of different companies coming to see the world-leading research we are doing here. Read more...
