"People who are really serious about software should make their own hardware" - Alan Kay
MoCA (Merced Computer Architecture) is a research lab of CSE department at UC Merced led by Dr. Hyeran Jeon. Our mission is to design energy-efficient, reliable and secure computer architectures and systems. The scope is not limited to micro-architecture level because performance and energy efficiency can be achieved from the smarter interaction between software and hardware. As phasing into the domain-specific computing era, we are also exploring various emerging workloads (e.g., machine learning applications) to better support these new types of workloads in both software and hardware levels. Overall, the research motto of MoCA is greatly linked with the above quote of Alan Kay. MoCA is associated with HPCSA.
