| Search (content lookup) is a key operation in many real-world applications including network packet processing and speech recognition. In this research, we aim to design a search-capable memory architecture that has better performance, power and cost characteristics than existing software- and hardware-only solutions. |
| Multicore processors (having multiple processor "cores" on a single chip) are ubiquitous and we will find chips having many more cores in the future. A key question for the next-generation multicore 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 explore novel multicore processor architectures and systems to answer the question. Moreover, we have been developing efficient trace-driven simulation strategies for multicore research. |
| Various reliability issues have manifested; for example, increased process variation may cause unexpected circuit failures. Processor chip yields are staggering due to aggressive scaling and high complexity involved in the design and manufacturing process. In this research, we are investigating how processor design practices have to be changed to overcome the 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 solid-state disk (SSD) technology and coarse-grained reconfigurable architecture (CGRA) are of current interest. We are particularly focused on reducing power consumption. |
