The Computer Architecture, Automation and Systems Reserach Laboratory (CASRL) at Western Michigan University has been establish and led by Dr. Lina Sawalha.
Our research include computer architecture, heterogeneous sytems, interaction among computer architecture, compilers and systems, AI-based cross-computing stack optimizations, hardware/software codesign, energy-efficient computing, applications in machine learning, accelerating AI/ML applications, 3D priting automation, AI for hardware and hardware for AI, and high-performance computing.
Current projects:
- CPU-FPGA heterogeneous architectures and characterization
- HLS optimization using AI
- Characterizing and optimizing 3D-image rendering and gaming applications
- 3D printing automation
Past projects:
