Computer Science at City University of Hong Kong Ranked 16th Globally by US News and World Report
US News and World Report has just released its widely followed 2015 ranking of global universities and subjects. Computer science at City University of Hong Kong is ranked 16th globally; this is not just the highest ranking achieved to date but is also indicative of a continual rising trend. The ranking is based on academic reputation and research in the field, with strong emphasis on research publications and citations.
高等學校科學研究優秀成果獎-自然科學獎 (二等)
Dr Jacky Keung has recently received the高等學校科學研究優秀成果獎-自然科學獎 (二等) awarded by the Ministry of Education of the People Republic of China for his collaborative research project titled “Quality-Driven Methods for Software Evolution Management and Fault Detection”.
The project is about sustainable software quality assurance techniques developed for managing software development lifecycle, and to ensure long term success of software evolution and change management required in practice. The research results have been successfully patented in several areas and published in many papers.
Best Paper Award of the International Conference on Hardware/Software Codesign and System Synthesis 2014
Dr Minming Li worked in collaboration with other researchers abroad and received the Best Paper Award for their paper titled “TSP: Thermal Safe Power - Efficient power budgeting for Many-Core Systems in Dark Silicon” in the International Conference on Hardware/Software Codesign and System Synthesis held on 12-17 October 2014 in New Delhi, India.
The paper proposes that TSP (Thermal Safe Power) provides safe power constraint values as a function of the number of simultaneously operating cores. Maintaining all the cores running below TSP will make Dynamic Thermal Management unnecessary and hence will improve the system performance significantly.
