Postgraduate Supervision - Peter Strazdins
Currently Available Topics
I am interested in supervising or co-supervising any project closely
related to my research interests . In
particular, with multicore computing, virtualization, the
HPNumSOA,
CC-NUMA
and Jabberwocky
Projects, and work on
clusters and computational grids.
Prospective international applicants, including those seeking
internships, please read this page on
financial and other advice
Below are some pre-prepared projects. Note that topics marked `Hons'
includes Honours and 4th year BSEng research projects.
