CHREC Research Activities

Student leader of the CHREC F1 research project.  Follow the link to view the CHREC center homepage.

Performance prediction of dual-paradigm and reconfigurable systems:  Created the Reconfigurable Computing Simulation Environment (RCSE) for efficient simulative performance prediction of RC systems.

Abstract modeling of heterogeneous and reconfigurable computing systems: Created the Reconfigurable Computing Modeling Language (RCML) for estimation-level modeling of RC applications and systems.

Research and development of new algorithm for automated scheduling and design-space exploration for large-scale RC systems.
