Updated the links of Aladdin, gem5-aladdin, LLVM-Tracer from the GitHub page Thierry provided. (We are still missing links for McPAT CPU Models, WIICA.)
Changed the paragraph “Web page for the research group of Prof. David Brooks and Prof. Gu-Yeon Wei” to “Research group of Prof. David Brooks and Prof. Gu-Yeon Wei” or “Prof. David Brooks’ and Prof. Gu-Yeon Wei’s research group”, depending on where you want to place emphasis
Added to the page header a background image to underline this website focus on Architecture, Circuits and Compilers(i.e.: ATMOS website)
Considerchanging the web address of this website from "hwpi.harvard.edu/vlsiarch" to "vlsiarch.seas.harvard.edu"
Content enhancement
The slideshow on the home page offers the opportunity to showcase interesting research, technology, news or specific events as available Postdocs positions. Slideshow images can also be linked to related content (i.e.: Postdoc position to Sign Up page) (Example of slideshow images linked to content on ACMG website) Add images and links to the following content:
Caption - "While our Aladdin tool can accurately model a variety of accelerator designs at pre-RTL level, its integration with gem5 (i.e., gem5-Aladdin) models and simulates complex SoCs consisting of CPUs, accelerators, NoC, and memory hierarchies."
Caption - "16-core voltage-stackedsystem with adaptive frequency clocking (AFClk) and a fullyintegrated voltage regulator demonstrates efficient on-chippower delivery for multicore systems."
Side navigation menu - employ a visual style that is consistent with the rest of the website (example of inconsistent side menu when viewing research projects and software)
Home page - list “Recent publications” and “Recent news” side to side, so that users primarily interested in the latter are not required to scroll the page
News & Events - list “Upcoming events” and “Latest news” side to side, so that users primarily interested in the latter are not required to scroll the page
Software - Similar to Fathom, the following software doesn't need to be linked to individual pages, since they don't currently display any additional content. We can bring these secondary pages back once additional content is available.
Top navigation menu (the one with Team, Publications, etc.)
Adding a “Home” link, since the current link on the top heading “Harvard Architecture, Circuits and Compilers” is not as intuitive. This will also eliminate the “Home” breadcrumb and gain vertical space.
Adding to the People link a drop down that lists and links to each category (i.e.: Faculty, Staff, etc.) (Example: CRCS website)
Contentavailability
Publications - added abstracts and PDF of research papers to all publications
"Broken"links - Several links are still linked to the content of (I assume) the old WordPress website. These links no longer access that content and must be manually updated.
Consistent font size and style between the heading of the home page (i.e.: RECENT PUBLICATIONS) and the ones on Publications right hand column (i.e.: Publications BROWSE BY YEAR)
Smaller gap between heading in right hand column and the content below (i.e.: Publications BROWSE BY YEAR)
Recent articles
Publications
YouTube videos admonishing or teaching students
Recent books by Gu or David
Paper published under their supervision
Pictures of recent designs from the lab
Any other relevant content for the website.
