Regularly occurring events
Computer Science Colloquium
Computer Science Colloqua are normally scheduled on Fridays at 1:40 in room 308 of the Computer Science Building unless otherwise noted.
- We begin each semester with a review of research conducted by our students and faculty.
- Computer Science Colloquia generally begin with a competition to answer a puzzle announced at the previous week's colloquium. Announced puzzles are archived at http://robust.cs.utep.edu/freudent/puzzles/index.html.
The Computer Sciencee Colloquium is organized by Eric Freudenthal

- Title: Research in Industrial Labs: How Collaboration Aids Innovation.
- To view: Follow the following link in a QuickTime viewer: http://www.hanaalliance.org:554/cahsi.sdp
Using the example of Sun Microsystems Laboratories, this presentation shows how research in industrial labs often spans multiple research areas and encourages close collaboration between groups. We will focus on one particular innovation that was made possible by a joint effort of hardware and software engineers, namely Proximity Communication, a novel low-power chip-to-chip communication method developed at Sun Microsystems Laboratories. Furthermore, the presentation will explain the research and circuit design flow process that lead to the development of functional test chips. It will also emphasize the relevance of an in-house open-source CAD tool as well as interactions with external partners.
