Abstract

Concurrently with introducing new applications and their implementations based on application-specific HW/SW architectures, the development of new design methods for them is highly desired. The motivation is that these methods could uniquely exploit the properties of new applications and HW/SW platforms to maximize performance and efficiency.  The aim of this project is to create new algorithms and hardware platforms applicable in the design of highly application-specific computer-based systems, and demonstrate their effectiveness in selected applications.
