PAMELA receives £4M grant to make electronics more efficient, capable and useful

Academics from Imperial, Manchester and Edinburgh have teamed up under a project called PAMELA to look at making future electronics even better.

PAMELA: a Panoramic Approach to the Many-CorE LAndsape - from end-user to end-device: a holistic game-changing approach

Professors Paul Kelly and Andrew Davison here in the Department of Computing are working alongside Academics from Manchester and Edinburgh Universities to see how  they can optimise the hardware and software configurations to address the important application domain of 3D scene understanding. This will enable a future smart phone fitted with a camera to scan a scene and not only store the picture it sees, but also understand that the scene includes a house, a tree, and a moving car. In the course of addressing this application they expect to learn a lot more about optimising many-core systems that will have wider applicability and make future electronic products more efficient, more capable, and more useful. The project called PAMELA (a Panoramic Approach to the Many-CorE LAndsape) has recieved a £4M+ EPSRC grant to achieve this aim.
