The Forum on specification & Design Languages (FDL) is an international forum devoted to the dissemination of research results, practical experiences and new ideas in the application of specification, design and verification languages. The forum covers several application areas including the design, modelling and verification of integrated circuits, complex hardware/software embedded systems, and mixed-technology systems. FDL […]

Congratulations to one of PRiME’s PhD students, Charlie Leech, who has successfully applied for a competitive HiPEAC Collaboration grant which allows him to undertake a three month internship with ARM Holdings plc in Cambridge. HiPEAC (“High Performance and Embedded Architecture and Compilation”) is an EU funded project that has provided a hub for European researchers […]

The annual Design, Automation and Test in Europe (DATE) conference and exhibition was held in Dresden, Germany on 14 – 16 March 2016. The event had 1400 registered attendees from 50 countries and presented a varied technical programme over the three days, including 78 technical sessions. PRiME researchers took part in the “IP2 Interactive Presentations” […]

PRiME researchers at Imperial College, London, have developed a modelling tool for FPGA designs which allows users to monitor the power consumed by individual modules in the design. The tool is called KAPow – a loose acronym for ‘K’ounting Activity for Power estimation. Modern Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) can consist of highly complex system-on-chip […]
