Center of Heterogeneous Intelligent Computer Architecture and Systems (HICAS) conducts research on the performance, energy consumption, reliability, and security issues of heterogeneous architectures (CPU, GPU, and FGPA) and system software (server operating systems,cloud management systems.big data analytic ftrameworks). HICAS aims to provide high performance, low energy consumption,and strong reliability and security support for artificial intelligent applications, big data applications,cloud services,applications of internet of things, and edge computing applications. 

HICAS consists of two professors, an associate professor, two assistant professors and twenty five students. Prof. YU Zhibin is the director. HICAS has won 10 national key research projects such as software defined cloud computing, Haiyun big data systems, agile customizable Intelligent vision processors and system applications. HICAS has published papers on top-tier conferences such as ISCA, MICRO, ASPLOS, HPCA, ICS, SoCC, PACT, and HiPEAC, and top-tier journals such as IEEE TC, IEEE TPDS, IEEE TCAD, and ACM TACO. HICAS also applied for more than 60 national invention patents.
