====== Computer Architecture ======

I am interested in computer architectures, from pipeline structure to design methodologies for embedded systems.

===== Pipeline Architecture =====

We work on the design of advanced pipeline architecture for hiding latencies and speeding up computation by means of pipeline reconfiguration.

===== Co-exploration of Architectural and Program Transformation Design Space =====

The exploration of the architectural design space in terms of both energy and performance is of mainly importance for a broad range of embedded platforms based on the System-On-Chip approach.
We propose a methodology for the co-exploration of the design space composed of architectural parameters and source program transformations.

This project aims at analyzing the application of source code transformations to superscalar parameterized architectures. Currently, a Pareto Simulated Annealing (PSA) heuristic technique is being used to span the multi-objective co-design space composed of the product of the parameters related to the selected program transformations and the configurable architecture of the memory subsystem.
