• Compsys has regular contacts with P. Sadayappan (Ohio State University), J. (Ram) Ramanujam (Lousiana State University), and Sanjay Rajopadhye (Colorado State University), on polyhedral code transformations. Fabrice Rastello was in sabbatical in 2010-2011 in Sanjay Rajopadhye's group. Christophe Alias is co-advising a PhD with Sanjay Rajopadhye, with an agreement to be signed between ens -l yon and Colorado State University.

• In France, Compsys is particularly linked with researchers such as Albert Cohen (Parkas team, Inria), Steven Derrien (Cairn team, Inria), Alain Greiner (LIP6, Paris), Alain Ketterlin (Camus team, Inria), Benoît Dupont de Dinechin (Kalray), Christophe Guillon (STMicroelectronics).

• Compsys, as some other Inria projects, is involved in the network of excellence HiPEAC (High-Performance Embedded Architecture and Compilation, http://www.hipeac.net/ ). Compsys is also a (distant) partner of the network of excellence Artist2 to keep an eye on the developments of MPSoC.

• Florian Brandner is collaborating with the group of Andreas Krall at the Vienna University of Technology on topics related to the processor description language xADL and on compilation for explicitly parallel processors (EPICOpt, http://www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/epicopt/ ). He is additionally working with Martin Schöberl from the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) on topics evolving around time-predictable computing.

• Alain Darte is in contact with Yann Orlarey from the Grame team (Lyon, “Centre National de Création Musicale”). They co-advise a Master 1 internship on some features in the development of Faust, a compiled language for real-time audio signal processing.
