HiPEAC Tech Transfer Award 2015 winners announced

To encourage take-up of research results by industry, the HiPEAC Tech Transfer Awards were launched in November 2015. The awards recognise successful examples of technology transfer, which covers technology licensing, providing dedicated services or creating a new company, for example. As well as a certificate, first-time winners are also awarded the sum of €1,000 for the team that developed the technology.

The winners of this year’s awards are as follows:

Said Hamdioui, 3D-COSTAR: A Tool to Optimize Test Flows of 3D Stacked Integrated Circuits
Albert Cohen, Polly Labs – Polyhedral Loop Optimizations for LLVM
Giorgos Dimitrakopoulos, Network-on-Chip for Think Silicon’s ultra-low-power GPU
Zaid Al-Ars, Accelerated Genomics Analysis Algorithms Using Hardware/Software Codesign
Roman Trobec, Wearable Multifunctional Body Sensor

For the purposes of the awards, technology transfer is defined as a contractually documented joint- or privately funded academia-industry project or technology licence agreement, with the goal of bringing a concrete research result into industrial practice.

Applications to the awards have to be formally linked to HiPEAC, via a member, affiliated member or PhD student, who must be the key person in the technology transfer activity. All applications are evaluated by an internal technology transfer committee.

The HiPEAC Steering Committee would like to extend warm congratulations to all award winners.
