Summary of Current Research: My research centers on 1) the design, implementation, and application of reconfigurable computing systems, and 2) on processing and transport of media (audio/video) signals.

Reconfigurable systems are highly parallel and offering fine-grained programmability, often at the sub-word level. This flexibility makes them ideal emulation platforms and highly efficient computational structures. As computational structures are specialized on a per-application basis, within many application domains, these systems offer several orders of magnitude higher cost-performance than conventional processors. Work in my group involves a coordinated effort on the design of reconfigurable computing devices and machines, development of novel programming systems, and application of reconfigurable computing systems to real-world computing tasks..

Current projects: Berkeley Emulation Engine (BEE), Research Accelerator for Multiple Processors (RAMP), Berkeley Reconfigurable Architectures, Software, and Systems (BRASS), and the GSRC Home Media Gateway.
