Intel has announced that the new version of its high performance library IPP, used by thousands of companies world-wide, will feature a new domain for functions generated by Spiral, a tool developed in ECE under the lead of Professors Markus Püschel and José Moura. Spiral can replace the human programmer in the very difficult task of writing highest performance code for important numerical functions and often achieves even better performance than human programmers. The technology underlying Spiral's success was developed by ECE Research Scientist Franz Franchetti and Püschel's recent Ph.D. graduate Yevgen Voronenko.

ECE Department Head Ed Schlesinger has been elected Secretary-Treasurer of the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department Heads Association (ECEDHA). Schlesinger will serve a one-year term beginning July 1, after which he will be appointed for one-year terms as Vice President and then President of the association.

At the Center for Nano-Enabled Device and Energy Technologies (CNXT), a multidisciplinary team of Carnegie Mellon University researchers work to harness nanoscale research underway at both the College of Engineering and the Mellon College of Science. The center, which is housed at the Institute for Complex Engineered Systems (ICES), primarily focuses on nanoscale research that enables the design of innovative systems for sensing and on future energy generation and storage technologies. The secondary focus of the center is on advanced information and communication technologies.
