Today's embedded systems contain various combinations of different sub-systems, such as ASICs, microprocessors, DSPs, and reconfigurable cores. New embedded systems require a larger amount of flexibility as compared to their predecessors.
Markets change very rapidly demanding embedded system solutions that are easily alterable.
Such solutions are expected to support a variety of applications, changing system requirements and standards as well as altering operating conditions. In ER group, we study CAD, design, and compiler aspects of reconfigurable cores in embedded systems.
