Research Topics
real-time embedded multi-processor systems
composability (cf. virtualisation, partitioning), especially of temporal behaviour
predictability, for real-time applications
abstraction, especially transaction-based communication-centric debug
real-time microkernels, real-time operating systems
models of computation and models of execution
memory controllers
reducing complexity, e.g. through compositional architectures and analyses
low power for real-time applications
variability in all its aspects
all aspects of networks on chip
especially the Aethereal Network on Chip (NOC) developed since 2001 by Philips/NXP Research
network on chip design flows
hardwired networks on chip in FPGAs
network on chip as test access mechanism (TAM)
uses of networks on chip, e.g. for internet router crossbars
communication protocols
