Mission

The mission of CAS Atlantic is to conduct research aimed at advancing the performance and concurrency of software executing on multicore systems. Innovations will be explored in the context of real-world applications, including J9, IBM's own highly versatile, high performance Java virtual machine and class library technology.

CAS Atlantic Today

In its first three years, CAS Atlantic will involve at least five faculty and more than 20 graduate students and research assistants at UNB. These researchers will collaborate closely with IBM research and development staff in compilation and virtual machine technology, including IBM Fellow Kevin Stoodley, CTO Enterprise Modernization Tools and Compilers, and IBM Distinguished Engineer John Duimovich, CTO Java Technology.

Become Involved

By working in joint research relationships fostered by CAS Atlantic, valuable insights are discovered that might not be encountered in the university environment. Students participate in commercial efforts that complement the university teaching environment. IBM mentors find that working with university faculty and students is an enriching experience that adds an exciting dimension to their work. IBM has found that building relationships along with groundbreaking research, and having an institution to cultivate, organize, and maintain their interests, yields a bigger return on their university investments.
