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.
