Research Areas

  • Computer Architecture
  • Real-time Cyber-Physical Systems
  • Algorithms for Smart Grids
  • Multi-access Edge Computing
* Resource Allocation Strategies in Real-time (RT) Cyber-physical Systems (CPS)

* ---- Energy, Temperature, Cache and Fault Aware Real-time Scheduling
* ---- ~~ Use slack processor capacities to imbibe DVFS, DPM, fault-tolerance etc.

* ---- Processor and Bus Co-scheduling Strategies for RT Automotive Systems

* ---- SCDES Based Formal Approaches towards RT Scheduler Synthesis in CPS
* ---- ~~ Computes a supervisor that determines all safe execution sequences corresponding to the specifications of a given task set and platform

* ---- Spatio-Temporal Scheduling on FPGAs
* ---- ~~ Tasks are digital circuits represented as bit-streams
* ---- ~~ Tasks have spatial (area) as well as temporal (execution time) resource requirements
* ---- ~~ Fully and run-time partially reconfigurable FPGAs have varying reconfiguration overheads

* Scheduling Strategies for Multimedia Services in Cellular Networks
* ---- Development of efficient QoS/QoE aware in-network/client-side downlink scheduling strategies

* RT Memory Controller Designs to achieve Predictable memory Access Times
