DSPCAD Group focuses on computer-aided design (CAD) and
implementation of digital signal processing (DSP) systems. DSP
refers to the digital analysis and manipulation of data streams,
such as those associated with audio signals, biomedical signals,
control system components, digital communications waveforms,
images, video streams. We work on many aspects of architectures,
models of computation, and software tools for DSP system design,
including specialized programming languages; synthesis and
optimization of hardware and software; hardware/software co-
design; and DSP implementations on field-programmable gate
arrays (FPGAs), multicore processors, graphics processing units
(GPUs), and application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs).
The long-term goal of this research is to improve the
productivity of designing DSP systems, as well as the
reliability, predictability, and efficiency o
