Embedded Systems and Computer Architecture

Design, test and verification of embedded systems: real-time multiprocessor scheduling, reconfigurable computing and memristor devices.

Meet the people Our research

Figure. Five instructions moving through a five-stage processor pipeline: fetch, decode, execute, memory and write-back. In cycle 5 every stage works on a different instruction.

About the group

Process technology now lets integrated circuits hold complex systems on a single chip, and that has made embedded systems far harder to design well for area, speed and power. New methods and tools are needed, and the group works on the design, test and verification problems that come with them.

Two research streams

Real-time embedded systems: optimal global scheduling on multiprocessors, with less overhead
Energy-constrained scheduling
Reconfigurable computing: next-generation FPGA architecture
CAD algorithms that map circuits onto FPGAs
Memristor devices and circuits
