SyNeRGy Lab Home Page

Welcome to the Systems, Networking & Renaissance Grokking ( Synergy

) Laboratory at Virginia Tech. The Synergy Lab, previously known as RADIANT, moved to Virginia Tech from Los Alamos National Laboratory in January 2006. The SyNeRGy Lab is now part of Department of Computer Science at Virginia Tech and is affiliated with the Center for High-End Computing Systems (CHECS) in the College of Engineering at Virginia Tech and the NSF Center for High-Performance Reconfigurable Computing (CHREC).

The following three projects are associated with the SyNeRGy Laboratory:
