Fully Funded PhD Positions

Towards Next Generation Embedded Systems: Utilizing Parallelism & Reconfigurability

I am looking for bright and motivated students with an MTech (CSE or ECE) and a strong interest in Computer architecture, FPGA/VLSI design, Parallel processing and Compilers. This is funded under the Indo-Swedish Joint Project funded by the Department of Science and Technology, India and Vinnova, Sweden.

Academic Partners:

• Amrita University, Bangalore

• Halmstad University, Sweden

Industry Partners:

• India: Texas Instruments, India & Maxim India Integrated Circuit Design Pvt. Ltd.

• Sweden: Realtime Embedded AB, Sweden (RTE), Adarate Systems AB, Sweden (ADS), Swedish Defence Research Agency, Sweden (FOI)

Objectives:

This project envisions that the diversity of applications and contrasting performance constraints in next-generation embedded systems will necessitate the use of emerging technologies such as reconfigurable architectures and many-core processors. The project aims to develop, experiment and evaluate advanced embedded computing platforms for diverse application needs such as real-time response, low energy consumption and low cost constraints. Our focus is to address these needs through the use of simplified programming and flexible architectures.
