VASYD in Microelectronic and Nanotechnology – Shamsuddin Research Centre (MiNT-SRC) was established to investigate various aspects of very large scale integration (VLSI) circuits and systems design. Research activities include:
Reconfigurable Digital Systems:
This investigation involves design and implementation of reconfigurable hardware that is suitable for field programmable gate array (FPGA)
and digital signal processing (DSP) applications. Energy Efficient Digital Systems:
This is an on-going exploration in which techniques are being developed for lowering power dissipation in digital systems without drastically affecting performance. With the growing popularity of battery powered portable applications like personal communication systems, mobile computing, energy efficient, high performance circuits are gaining importance. Investigation is being carried out for lowering dynamic as well as leakage power dissipation in custom and reconfigurable circuits and systems. Applications:
Three-dimensional (3-D) medical image processing, compression in tele-radiology, segmentation and registration for tumour definition, radiation therapy planning and cancer diagnosis, de-noising for multimodalities, face recognition for security and video surveillance, hardware-software co-design for automotive and aviation industry, real-time dynamic monitoring for agriculture sector.
