Reconfigurable Computing Systems Lab

RCSL brings together researchers working across the hardware-software stack for next-generation computing systems. The lab operates at two complementary levels: application and CAD methods for reconfigurable accelerators and adaptive systems, led by Dr. Shreejith Shanker, and VLSI for Custom Chips, led by Dr. George Floros.

Across these areas, our vision is to explore the interplay between hardware and software, and between computation and communication, to reimagine digital systems and infrastructure across technology domains. Our research spans lightweight embedded systems, in-vehicle safety-critical architectures, distributed and network-coupled accelerators, energy-efficient deep neural network acceleration, high-quality image and video processing accelerators, and the VLSI design techniques needed for reliable next-generation programmable chips.
