The Computer Engineering (CE) laboratory performs research in the determination, development, and integration of both software and hardware required to build a computing system. More specifically, we focus on the definition of system requirements, from embedded to general-purpose computers, their architecture and implementations, and the study and development of tools and software for improving the analysis and synthesis of computing systems.More precisely, we are actively involved in: Computer architecture and machine organizations; Mapping of application and algorithm requirements to architectures of embedded systems (e.g. multimedia); Compiler technology capable of directing system requirements to architectural definition and of improving implementations; Architectural synthesis tools for semi-automatic implementation of architectures; Computer arithmetic and VLSI, VHDL logic design.
