The Galileo group is part of the computer architecture group in the computer sciences department at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

The group is led by Prof. James Goodman.

The focus of the group has been on the medium- to long-term evolution of processor and system architectures. Recent work has included memory system design issues and cache-coherent shared-memory multiprocessor design.

Current research interests include

New paradigms for multiprocessing - exploiting speculation for performance
Processor/memory interfaces
Memory system design issues
Shared-memory systems: Cache coherence
Synchronization/memory consistency

The research is funded by the National Science Foundation and industrial partners.
