High Performance Runtimes for Next Generation Languages. X10 is a type-safe, memory-safe programming language. This project will help make X10 a viable choice for secure software on the next generation of computer architectures. The proposed project will contribute to a better understanding of the fundamental processes that advance knowledge and facilitate the development of technological innovations (a research priority goal). By addressing a key emerging problem and consolidating Australian- ....High Performance Runtimes for Next Generation Languages. X10 is a type-safe, memory-safe programming language. This project will help make X10 a viable choice for secure software on the next generation of computer architectures. The proposed project will contribute to a better understanding of the fundamental processes that advance knowledge and facilitate the development of technological innovations (a research priority goal). By addressing a key emerging problem and consolidating Australian-based expertise in this area, the project will also enhance Australia’s capacity in frontier technologies research.Read moreRead less
Algorithms for Memory Management and Memory Design in Embedded Systems. Given the importance of embedded systems technology, Australia must secure a place among significant innovators in the field of embedded systems design. Our research aims at novel algorithmic solutions for customization and resource management for embedded processors. Thus, besides generating intellectual property, our research can be fully commercialized in Australia, because it does not require complex and expensive techn ....Algorithms for Memory Management and Memory Design in Embedded Systems. Given the importance of embedded systems technology, Australia must secure a place among significant innovators in the field of embedded systems design. Our research aims at novel algorithmic solutions for customization and resource management for embedded processors. Thus, besides generating intellectual property, our research can be fully commercialized in Australia, because it does not require complex and expensive technologies and other resources available only to the world's largest corporations. In addition, during our research a number of undergraduate and graduate students will get a chance to get training in the cutting edge embedded systems design, optimization and testing.Read moreRead less
Formal Specification and Realisation of Dynamic Reconfiguration in FPGA-based Systems. The project aims are:
to significantly advance our understanding of the key concepts needed to successfully exploit dynamic, run-time reconfigurable computing, a technology that is now becoming increasingly available due to developments in FPGA (Field Progammable Gate Array) devices, and
the development of an innovative high-level programming environment that will include a language, associated design method ....Formal Specification and Realisation of Dynamic Reconfiguration in FPGA-based Systems. The project aims are:
to significantly advance our understanding of the key concepts needed to successfully exploit dynamic, run-time reconfigurable computing, a technology that is now becoming increasingly available due to developments in FPGA (Field Progammable Gate Array) devices, and
the development of an innovative high-level programming environment that will include a language, associated design methodologies, compilation techniques, and run-time support that will make dynamic reconfigurable computing accessible to a wide community of potential users.
