Units and Dimensions: SimCon is carrying out research on automatic identification and checking of the physical units and dimensions of the variables in a Fortran program. The tools form part of FPT, and preliminary releases are under test by CSC at Airbus Filton.

FPGA and Parallel Programming: Research on automatic fine-grain parallel programming of FPGAs and multi-core systems is being carried out in collaboration with Liverpool Hope University and The University of Cape Town. Algorithms for parallelisation and for fixed-point scaled fraction programming, first developed for the AD10 simulation computer, will be applied to FPGAs.
