The Future Computing Technologies Lab (FCTL) is a research group dedicated to investigating key problems in computer architecture, high-performance computing, and machine learning. Our work is heavily collaborative in nature, spanning a wide variety of domains including computer vision, speech recognition, bioinformatics, computational chemistry, and more. We are part of the Holcombe Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Clemson University.
