The Study on Reconfigurable Computing Technology for Multimedia Communication System

本整合型技術發展研究計畫係針對可重組化運算此一新穎的系統架構研究 領域之相關核心技術進行研究，並以多媒體通訊應用作為系統整合平台的發展目 標。針對可重組化運算系統之研究趨勢，本整合型研究計畫的目的是研究多媒體 通訊系統的數個可重組化運算之核心技術：首先對可重組化架構層次中的一般用 途(General Purpose)、多媒體(Multimedia)與通訊(Communication)等重要的應用領 域，進行新興應用的運算特性轉變之分析，然後進行架構的探討、設計與實現; 同時在當前仍有待加強的系統整合CAD 工具之研究上，也針對可重組化運算系 統之應用發展的骨架以及架構的設計與實現上，提供系統層次的設計、軟/硬體 整合設計、可測試性設計以及實體設計的完善工具支援。期望藉由此整合型計畫 的相關基本技術之發展與研究成果的驗證，來發展出一套可重組化系統的設計法 則與相關的設計軟硬體環境，以提供學術界與產業界在多媒體通訊系統架構的設 計層次上，另一套前瞻性的設計經驗。The group project will proceed on system analysis, suitable architecture design, and implementation, verification, and testing for key components for a reconfigurable computing system. We expect to provide a forward-looking experience in system-level architecture design for both academia and industry. In order to keep up with the research trend of reconfigurable computing systems, the goal of the main program targets at the research of core technology in various kinds of reconfigurable computing systems for multimedia communication systems. The analysis for characteristics of reconfigurable computing systems with the design and implementation of the hardware architectures are major topics of this main program. Besides, the consideration of testability for hardware design, hardware/software co-design, and support of CAD tool in physical layer design are also included
