Research Outline

This work aims at developing design techniques of dependable systems using next-generation low-power devices. Dependability and lifetime of systems will become further challenging issues for such devices. This work will first establish novel system-design techniques for dependability enhancement, “functionally-equivalent redundancy”, and then holistically apply the techniques at various system levels, which will improve cost/dependable/power-efficiency of the systems. Moreover, this work will also build prototypes using state-of-the-art FPGAs/ASICs for quantitatively evaluating the usefulness of the developed techniques.
