  1. CENTER FOR EMBEDDED SYSTEMSA NSF Industry University Cooperative Research Center Overview Spyros Tragoudas, PhD SIUC site Director University of Patras, June 20, 2012

  2. The Center for Embedded Systems (CES) was established in March 2009 by the National Science Foundation as an Industry/University partnership dedicated to developing a globally recognized center for embedded computing system technologies. University partners Director: Spyros Tragoudas Director: Sarma Vrudhula Member companies

  3. Research areas Design, validation, test of embedded • Architectures/processors • Circuits • Sensors • Networked components & cyber-physical systems • MEMS Embedded systems for • Communications • Control • Image processing Applications in • Agriculture, Biomedicine, Civil & Environmental, Mining

  4. Areas of Expertise Many of the world’s top companies supplement their own R&D efforts by participating in NSF I/UCRC organizations. The Center for Embedded Systems specializes in research in the following areas: • Power, Energy and Thermal-Aware Design • Low power circuit architectures and design tools • Dynamic performance, power, energy and thermal management for multicore embedded systems • Statistical variation aware design of digital systems • Energy efficient architectures and code optimization for embedded systems • Electronic System-level (ESL) Design and Technologies • Modeling and simulation • Hardware/software co-design and optimization • Trusted, reliable, and secure design

  5. Areas of Expertise • Embedded Multicore Architectures and Programming • Network-on-Chip design and optimization • Compilation of stream applications on multicore processors • Highly power-efficient programmable accelerators • Soft error resilient system design • Design and programming of low power embedded systems • Embedded GPU computing • Temperature- and variations-aware architectures and programming • Embedded Software Systems • Real-time scheduling • Embedded systems for smart grids • Middleware and VM for embedded systems • Embedded software instrumentation and tools • Cyber-Physical Systems • Modeling and simulation • Model based formal verification and semi-formal testing • Model based synthesis from high-level specifications

  6. Areas of Expertise • Integrated Circuit Technologies, Design, and Test • Semiconductors for hostile environments • Device physics and modeling • Microelectronic device and sensor design and manufacturing • Analog/RF/mixed signal circuit design and test • Testing and silicon debug of digital circuits

  7. IUCRC Operation Project Proposals • Typical duration: 1 or 2 years Industrial Advisory Board (IAB) & Project Funding • Member companies either through SIUC or ASU • Each member company is represented at the IAB • Membership fees are used to fund projects • IAB recommends proposals in late May (@ SIUC site) • Site director initiates projects in June • Projects start in August • IAB & NSF reviews projects in January (@ASU site)

  8. Benefits of Membership • Industry-Relevant Research Projects • Participate in timely research in embedded systems • Conduct pre-competitive or exploratory research in an efficient, cost-effective way • Access the minds and work of more than a dozen faculty members with laboratory and computing facilities • Chart your own course, as base membership enables a member-directed research project • IP Arrangement • Results of shared research projects available to all • Royalty-free non-exclusive IP rights on shared research projects • Leverage of Industry/University Partnership • Direct university projects at significantly reduced overhead • Realize greater ROI due to the pooling effect of memberships • Maximize your research dollars with federal matching funds

  9. Benefits of Membership • Internship Program • Access academically outstanding engineering students - undergraduate and graduate levels • Gain a recruiting advantage by developing relationships with well-trained interns at an early stage • Hire the best, through your opportunity to select experienced interns for permanent employment

  10. Member companies at the SIUC site

  11. Member companies (Year 3) • SIUC site • Intel – Circuit Labs (OR) & Ultra Mobility Systems (CA) • Rockwell Collins (IA) • Caterpillar (IL) • General Dynamics (IL) • Hamilton Sundstrand (IL) • Dickey-john /TSI (MN) • EMAC (IL) • ASU site • Raytheon (AZ) • Intel (AZ) • Qualcomm (CA) • Toyota (CA) • Marvell (AZ)
