Welcome to PASCAL

The PArallel Systems & Computer Architecture Lab (PASCAL), in the Electrical Engineering & Computer Science Department of the University of California, Irvine, under the direction of Dr. Jean-Luc Gaudiot, is a center for the investigation of parallel and distributed computing. The group pursues experimental research in areas such as functional programming, compiler techniques, and computer architectures.
Key Research Areas

Securing Computer Systems
Our work develops low-cost detection mechanisms for stealthy microarchitectural attacks, protecting vulnerable systems and informing the design of future processors. This approach strengthens the reliability of critical infrastructures, cloud services, and everyday computing devices.
