This lab, launched in 1999, addresses modeling, synthesis and optimization techniques for the electronic design automation (EDA) of embedded computing systems, especially Systems-on-Chip (SoC). Its goal is to develop and/or disseminate EDA tools, not only for hardware design (e.g. synthesis and simulation tools at the architectural, RTL and logic levels), but also for embedded software development (e.g. cross compilers, assemblers, link editors, debuggers, simulators). The lab activities are oriented to comply with the requirements of modern SoCs (low-power, real-time and compact code) and with distinct microelectronic implementation alternatives and styles (e.g. ASIC, FPGA).
