| | We conduct research on semantics, design
methodologies, and architectures for asynchronous systems.
We have designed and fabricated microprocessors, FPGAs, 2D and 3D
integrated circuits,
as well as developed the necessary software tools to support the hardware.
We also write the necessary EDA tools to support our hardware
development efforts.
- Asynchronous FPGAs. This project
investigates pipeline-level programmable asynchronous logic, and 3D
integrated circuits and systems.
- Self-Healing / Reliable Asynchronous Systems.
This project investigates the impact of defects and transient errors
on the design of asynchronous systems.
- Ultra Low Power Systems.
Research on ultra low power asynchronous VLSI platforms. Past work
has included the design of ultra low power
asynchronous architectures for sensor network nodes.
- Biologically-Inspired Cognitive Processing.
Research on computation structures that are biologically-inspired, incorporate
filtering, and that can be efficiently implemented with asynchronous circuits.
Cross-cutting projects:
- Energy-efficient VLSI and architecture.
The goal of this project is to develop tools,
design methods, components, and architectures for low energy and high
performance design using a combination of micro-architecture, circuit,
and algorithmic techniques. We are also investigating the impact
of 3D on system architecture.
- Synthesis Methods and Tools.
The design and implementation of tools for the synthesis of
asynchronous VLSI circuits that can handle the design-complexity of
large-scale systems.
