Programmable Systems and Networks
The Programmable Systems Laboratory (PSL@Q) has a portfolio of projects involved in the development of system level design flows for the implementation of complex signal processing systems on heterogeneous (processor and FPGA) platforms and creating programmable architectures for networking applications. The group has considerable external support for its projects and has developed a number of key strategic relationships with a number of world leading companies including Xilinx, BAE Systems, QinetiQ, Selex, National Instruments and Digital Theater Systems.
The group is looking at complex signal processing implementation with the key technology factors: memory, throughput rate, complexity, power and latency. A system design flow is currently being developed using commercially available design tools and being commercialized through CapnaDSP, a University spin-off company which is developing a series of programming tools for programmable systems.
