Fast/Parallel circuit analysis

1. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries – Tsinghua Joint Research Program, “Development of a real-time image processing hardware component”, Jan. 2010 – March. 2011, Principle Investigator.

The major objective of this research project is to develop a real-time image processing hardware component for vehicle detection and classification with stereo cameras.

2. AMD China University Program, “GPU-based Acceleration for Machine Learning Algorithms”, Jan. 2009 – April 2010, Principle Investigator.

In this project, we are trying to find GPGPU solutions for accelerating some common machine learning algorithms by carefully analyzing the data parallelism of machine learning algorithms as well as GPU’s architecture.

3. Microsoft Research Asia, “General FPGA-based Acceleration for Machine Learning”, Jan. 2008 – April 2009, Principle Investigator.

In this project, we tried to find a FPGA solution to accelerate most of machine learning algorithms as an application domain, in order to provide both efficient hardware architecture and interfaces to OS. MapReduce, which is a very successful programming model is considered as one of the possibilities in FPGA based Machine Learning implementations.

4. National Science Funding, China, “Research on FPGA based Anti-Degradation Machine Learning”, Jan. 2009-Dec. 2011, Principle Investigator.

In this project, FPGA-based anti-aging machine learning is studied. We will dynamically reconfigure FPGA based on the run time information to ensure the lifetime requirement of machine learning algorithms; and try to explore if there exist a new architecture for anti-aging machine learning.

5. Hi-tech Research and Development Program of China (National 863 Project), “Low power Heterogeneous MPSoC Design and Computation based on Sensor Network on Chip,” Jan. 2009-Dec. 2010, Co-Principle Investigator.

In this project, we systematically study power and reliability threats in low-power high-performance MPSoC and explore effective methodologies and systems to manage these threats. We propose a Sensor Network on Chip (SENoC) to dynamically perform information collection, decision making, and instruction dispatching.

6. National Key Technological Program of China, “Advanced EDA platform development,” August. 2008-Dec. 2010.12, Co-Principle Investigator.

The object of this project is to build a fast parallel analog/RF circuit simulation platform, since the simulation speed is one of the key obstacles for Analog/RF circuit designers all over the world.
