| Search - content lookup - is a key operation in many real-world applications including high-performance network packet processing and large-scale speech recognition. In this research, we aim to design a search-capable memory architecture that is high performance, low power and low cost. |
| Multicore processors (having multiple processor "cores" on a single chip) are everywhere and we will find chips having many more cores in the future. A key question for the next-generation "many-core" processor is: How can we utilize the increased amount of on-chip resources (cores, caches and interconnects) efficiently to achieve scalable performance, low power, high availability and dependability? We aim to study flexible many-core processor architectures and systems in this research to answer the question. |
| Various reliability issues have manifested; for example, increased process variation may cause unexpected circuit failures. Advanced processor chip yields are staggering due to aggressive scaling and high complexity involved in design and manufacturing process. In this research, we are investigating how design practices have to be changed and how processors need be capable of reconfiguring to overcome serious reliability and yield erosion problems. This project is supported by a grant from the NSF. |
| In this research, we tackle application-specific design problems in various embedded system domains. Issues around new hybrid hard drive (HHD) and coarse-grained reconfigurable architecture (CGRA) are of current interest. We are particularly focused on reducing power consumption. |
