Research and running projects

All my projects, both currently active projects and finished projects.
This includes projects executed at TUD (Delft University of Technology) (1986-2001), and at TU/e (Eindhoven University of Technology), since 2001.
My current research is executed withing the PARSE laboratory.

• PARSE: Parallel Architecture Research Eindhoven
• This is the main site of our TU/e Computer Architecture research lab
• Among others, we are researching CGRAs, coarse grain reconfigurable architectures for flexible and extreme low energy computing; see our CGRA website

Education

• An overview of most of my current and previous Courses
• Includes course at TU/e (Eindhoven), TUDelft, Leiden University, NUS (National Univ. of Singapore), and for ASCI (Advanced Institute on Computing and Imaging, The Netherlands).
  
• Interested in a mini Network-on-Chip targeted towards FPGAs? Check out our mMIPS Network page.
  We used this in several courses on computer architecture.
• My PhD & PDEng students at TU/e / TUDelft / KUleuven
• Master students (pdf) at TU/e and TUDelft, since 1986
  
• Literature suggestions on computer architecture and embedded systems. Overview of interesting conferences and journals.

Software and Tools from our group

• Extension of SDF: SADF (Scenario Aware Data Flow), combining analytic power of (C)SDF with dynamism
• MAMPS Multi-Application Multi-Processor Synthesis
  
• SDF3: SDF For Free, a set of high freely available SDF (Synchronous Data Flow) and CSDF (Cyclo-Static Data Flow) analysis, transformation, graph generation and visualization tools
• POOSL, System-Level Design with the SHE Methodology.
  POOSL (Parallel Object-Oriented Specification Language) is used to describe, analyse and synthesize hard- and soft-realtime systems. Synthesis is correct modulo a small timing deviation, i.e. the implemented system has the same timing properties as the high level description in POOSL.
• PREMADONA tools: Generate simulation models from XML specifications of NoC-based MPSOC systems.
• Always wanted to know what users do with your products? Check our tools within the soft reliability project.
• Is your application dynamism getting out of control? Check our Wiki Scenario page.
