Welcome to MASC's website

The Micro Architecture at Santa Cruz (MASC) group was founded on 2004. Its main focus is computer architecture research.
As the research section shows, there are several active projects. The main focus is on complexity, temperature, reliability. To gain further insights systems (SCOORE) are built on FPGAs and ASICs.
