The LA team research focusses on logic design, computer arithmetic, computer implementation, and VLSI design. The main goal of the LA research effort is to improve the performance, measured in delay, power consumption, area, etc., of control and data path units present in state of the art general purpose and embedded processors. We address this issues at various design levels by investigating novel algorithms, architectures, implementations, and realizations for computer arithmetic operations. The targeted result is performance improvement while utilizing well established design paradigms and CMOS fabrication technologies. This research line has a tight connection with realistic industrial scenarios as apart of theoretical aspects related to the Boolean logic based computation of arithmetic functions CMOS based hardware realizations are targeted. The Lambda+Alpha theme consists of the following projects:
