Electrical Engineering Faculty Members


Ring Local Area Networks - Several projects have been completed involving experimentation with ring local area networks. The work has led to the design to a ring network that supports both data and real-time traffic, particularly voice. A prototype for the new network, which is intended to operate at a speed of 100 Mbits/sec, is currently under development.

Application-Specific Processors The development of a processor for simulation of VLSI circuits constitutes one focus of this work. It is expected to be capable of running simulation tasks at several hundred times the speed attainable on general purpose machines.

Signal Processing Systems - Several projects involve the study of signal processing systems, particularly those using multiple processors. The computer graphics facilities of CSRI are being used to study the application of direct manipulation graphics techniques to the task of configuring real-time DSP systems. Other projects include the study of computer-aided design techniques for switched capacitor filters. A silicon compiler is being developed that accepts the specifications for a filter a produces a chip layout for its VSLI implementation.

Some of the projects mentioned in this area are being developed primarily in the laboratories of the Electrical Engineering Department. However, considerable use is being made of the CSRI computing facility for software development.
