| Project | Description |
| Deep Blue | IBM's Deep Blue computer beat the human world chess champion in the year 1997. Now the technology is being applied to other areas. |
| Very Long Instruction Word (VLIW) | The IBM VLIW research project resulted in a hardware prototype, three generations of research compilers, and many publications and patents. |
| ASCI White and Blue Pacific | IBM's scalable multiprocessor systems offer many areas of fruitful research. IBM Research recently contributed to the Accelerated Strategic Computing Initiative's White and Blue Pacific supercomputers. |
| Dynamically Architected Instruction Set from Yorktown (DAISY) | This project aims to use binary translation to achieve 100% architectural compatibility with existing processors (e.g. PowerPC, S/390, Java VM) on a wide issue VLIW engine. Freely available as open source. |
| eLite | IBM's Embedded Low-Power Digital Signal Processor project (eLite DSP), is advancing the state of the art in ultra-low power DSP architectures, design methodologies, and compilers. |
| High frequency microprocessor design | A RISC microprocessor designed at IBM Research achieved a 1GHz frequency in a 0.25 micron CMOS technology. |
| PC Server Activities | Research on the memory and I/O architecture of PC multiprocessor systems. |
| Ultra-high frequency microarchitecture | The focus of this project was to explore the use and impact of novel circuit techniques for future ultra-high frequency microarchitectures. |
| Memory eXpansion Technologies | Memory controllers with a compression technique that can double the memory size. |
