1. Description

The research program in computer engineering encompasses the modeling, analysis, and evaluation of next-generation computer systems. Research activities in computer systems are explored at various design levels, including VLSI, circuit, logic, microarchitecture, system, and network architectures. In particular, the research addresses aspects of high performance, low power, mobility, security, and reliability in computer systems -- including parallel processing, multiprocessing, embedded systems, and distributed network processing architectures. Hardware-software tradeoffs play a central role in the work, specifically in the study of the interaction of computer hardware and optimizing/parallelizing compilers. The computer engineering group interacts with the digital signal processing, VLSI, and remote sensing groups to develop interdisciplinary solutions to research problems.
