System-level Simulation of Recore Multi-Processor Systems on a Chip

The design of modern multi-media embedded systems, like smartphones, digital TVs, settop boxes, smart camera's, etc., becomes increasingly complex:

Tuesday 18 August 2009 - Monday, 18 October 2010

Adaptive Generation of Stereo Images

Visualization is an important part of many e-Science and Grid projects. The use of stereo images in visualization has been given a new impulse following the development of autostereoscopic displays.

Thursday 1 November - Tuesday, 1 July 2008

An interactive visualization system for statistical modeling

There is a widespread interest in establishing and understanding relationships between variables, where a variable is defined as any measurable aspect that can take on different values.

Analysis tools for the microthreaded core compiler

We are developing a compiler for a new concurrent language called µTC, which implements constructs in C based on the microthread microprocessor ISA extensions.

Sunday 1 July 2007 - Monday, 1 December 2008

Evaluation of multi-core performance using microthreaded microgrid simulator

This project is a part of an ongoing program of evaluating multicore chips based on microthreaded microprocessors. The project will involve understanding the basis of microthreaded microprocessors.

Sunday 1 July 2007 - Monday, 1 December 2008

Survey on suitable Optimizations for the Microthreading model using the GCC compiler

Nowadays the compiler is the critical part of microprocessors development. The compiler is the bond between two pyramids linked by their peaks, the first is the magic world of software developers and the second is the secret world of chips designers.

A Language Independent Proler of Distributed Applications

Debugging, testing and proling of heterogeneous distributed applications is always a challenge. The goal of this project is to obtain a language independent profiling framework, as an extension of TIDE, a language independent debugging tool developed at CWI.

Thursday 18 May 2006 - Friday, 1 June 2007

Specification and Analysis of Inter-Thread Communication in Thread Algebra

Program Algebra (PGA) and Thread Algebra (TA) have been developed during the last two years and we have currently little experience with applications. We welcome a student who will specify and analyze a number of basic protocols involving communication between threads.

Thursday 18 May 2006 - Friday, 1 June 2007

A Language Independent Preference Management Service

In the area of multi-language, multi-thread, and distributed application development there is plenty possibility for standardization and reuse of common application services such as error management, GUIs and conguration. At CWI we maintain a large heterogeneous (distributed) interactive application called the ASF+SDF Meta-Environment, in which a number of services have already been standardized and reused. The one service that is missing is preference management.

Thursday 18 May 2006 - Friday, 1 June 2007

Camera-based object tracking for Mixed Reality applications

Mixed Reality environments (such as Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality devices) are interactive environments in which object tracking devices are used for user interaction. Camera-based object tracking systems have several advantages ....

Tuesday 7 February - Tuesday, 2 January 2007

Interactive Distributed Computing Middleware

Study the design and implementation of a generic "middleware" to support interactive distributed computing across a wide range of applications.

Monday 5 September 2005 - Sunday, 31 December 2006
