General Information
The Computer Architecture Research Group at the University of Ottawa is working
on the development of advanced computer architectures
for
signal processing, multimedia and wireless applications. Our work centers on the
creation and modification of new and existing Design Space Exploration (DSE) techniques
for embedded systems. Potential DSE avenues include: multiprocessing, SIMD,
hardware accelerators, and ISEs. We believe that the future of computer architecture
is based on multiprocessing system-on-chip designs, that is systems with many processors
working together. In addition, we believe that the efficient implementation of the
algorithms requires the analysis and modifications of both algorithms and architectures
in order to achieve algorithm-architecture matching. In particular, we are interested
in the following topics:
- System level design and modeling of multiprocessing systems.
- Configurable and reconfigurable processors.
- Identification and Selection algorithms for ISEs.
- Automated generation of coprocessors/harware accelerators.
- Exploiting parallelism at ever level of the system.
An important objective of our group is to conduct research in close collaboration with industry and other academic groups.
