Summary on Grant Application Form
Research will be undertaken to investigate methods for the automated design of complex, application specific Signal and Image Processing chips. Attention will be focused on the high level capture of silicon algorithm-to-architectures mappings for core DSP functions using Dependence or Computational Flow Graphs. This will be linked to two related design automating tools (IRIS and DAC) with the aim of demonstrating that efficient, high quality, Signal Compression DSP chips can be generated from very high level functional block descriptions.
