Embedded and Hardware Systems
The expertise of the Computer Science and Engineering faculty in embedded and hardware systems includes low power and thermal-aware design techniques, co-synthesis and code compression for embedded systems, robust circuit and system design related to soft errors and process variation, 3D integrated circuit and microarchitecture design, parallel and distributed systems, the use of field programmable gate array's (FPGAs) for a variety of applications including real-time event-driven simulation and real-time image recognition, migration problems from the redesign of legacy hardware and software, and analog-digital mixed-signal design (e.g., data converters, frequency synthesizers, and clock recovery systems).
High Performance Computing Lab (HPCL) - Lead Faculty: Professor Das
The faculty and students involved in this lab conduct research in many
areas that include parallel and distributed systems, cluster-based
servers, system area networks (SANs), on-chip interconnects,
scheduling, Internet QoS, mobile computing, performance evaluation and
fault-tolerant computing.
The Microsystems Design Lab (MDL) - Lead Faculty: Professors Irwin and Narayanan
MDL research efforts range from the design of
thermal and power aware circuits, systems and software, to reliable
systems design, to the integration of emerging nanotechnologies in
computing systems.
The Embedded and Mobile Computing design Center (EMC^2) - Co-Directors: Professors Irwin and Sivasubramaniam
EMC^2 brings together researchers and practitioners of embedded and mobile systems from several disciplines ranging from those who build the underlying platforms to those who use them in the field.
