In our research we look into Electronic System Level (ESL) design methodologies such as Component-Based Design or Platform-Based Design, modern heterogeneous compute architectures for energy-efficiency, and analog/digital interfaces for connected mobile Configurable Systems. These offer additional degrees of freedom for cost and performance optimizations, provide flexibility for changes throughout the entire life cycle and can help fight microelectronic parts obsolescence.
E. Schubert: Computer architecture traditionally focuses on general-purpose processors (CPUs) designed to handle a wide range of tasks. However, the increasing demands of specific applications, like machine learning or network processing, have led to the development of so-called domain-specific architectures (DSAs). DSAs are tailored to excel in a particular domain, often achieving significant performance and ... [more]
