Computer Architecture and VLSI Systems (CARV) Laboratory

Computer Architecture and VLSI Systems (CARV) is one of the seven R&D Labs of the Institute of Computer Science (ICS), FORTH. CARV conducts research and development in the architecture, design, and implementation of computer and communication systems, at the IC, board, and systems software level; emphasis has been and is placed on high-speed networking. CARV and ICS-FORTH closely collaborate with the Department of Computer Science of the University of Crete. More information on CARV can be obtained through the following links:
