Binghamton University in general, and its Computer Science (CS) Departmentin particular, are successfully complementing an outstanding reputationfor undergraduate education with vibrant and growing graduate-levelresearch programs. This combination provides fertile ground foroutstanding undergraduate research experiences in the area of experimentalcomputer systems. The combination of a high quality research environment,dedicated and talented Faculty Research Mentors, and a feedback loop drivenby a local educational evaluation professional, ensure the strongintellectual merit of this REU site. An attractive high-quality Web space,papers published in high-profile venues, and faculty talks describingstudent research, will demonstrate that undergraduates can be valuable andeffective researchers, thereby encouraging other CS departments toincreasingly employ them in this capacity. Current research projects directed by Binghamton CS faculty include improvingthe performance, energy-efficiency, and reliability of modern microprocessorsand memory systems; using Grid computing to solve computationally complexdistributed scientific applications; combining and scaling wide-area Web-basedinformation retrieval techniques; advancing face recognition, processing,analysis, and animation research; and creating new combinatorial optimizationtechniques for VLSI computer aided design problems. Specific goals of theBinghamton REU Site include exposing students to high-quality computer systemsresearch, training them to be effective and productive computer scienceresearchers, and attracting them through exciting and positive experiencesto continue to pursue a research-oriented career path.

总体而言，宾厄姆顿大学，尤其是其计算机科学 (CS) 系，通过充满活力且不断发展的研究生水平研究项目，成功地补充了本科教育的卓越声誉。 这种结合为实验计算机系统领域的优秀本科生研究经验提供了肥沃的土壤。 高质量的研究环境、敬业且才华横溢的教师研究导师以及​​由当地教育评估专业人员驱动的反馈循环相结合，确保了该 REU 网站强大的学术价值。 一个有吸引力的高质量网络空间、在知名场所发表的论文以及描述学生研究的教师演讲，将证明本科生可以成为有价值和有效的研究人员，从而鼓励其他计算机科学系越来越多地雇用他们担任这一职务。目前由宾厄姆顿计算机科学学院指导的研究项目包括提高现代微处理器和存储系统的性能、能源效率和可靠性；使用网格计算解决计算复杂的分布式科学应用；组合和扩展基于网络的广域信息检索技术；推进人脸识别、处理、分析和动画研究；并为 VLSI 计算机辅助设计问题创建新的组合优化技术。 宾厄姆顿 REU 站点的具体目标包括让学生接触高质量的计算机系统研究，将他们培养成为高效且富有成效的计算机科学研究人员，并通过令人兴奋和积极的经历吸引他们继续追求以研究为导向的职业道路。
