Research Summary

The increasing complexity of applications requires faster processing with effective utilization of computing resources. Modern systems often handle a large amount of data and need to provide real-time performance in many applications. Such systems need to be deployed on various kinds of platforms from wireless embedded devides to high-end workstations. Our development mainly concentrate on GPP based embedded system solutions achieving high degree of programmability to GPU/Multi-core CPU based high-performance computing.

Main focus of research work is towards designing:

  • Edge Computing
  • VLSI architecture for real-time signal/image processing/AI/ML
  • Application Specific Processor Design
  • Energy-efficient Computing
  • High performance embedded computing

Current Openings: We have a requirement for PhD candiates in FIR category. Motivated candidates can apply for PhD at SVNIT Surat. https://mis.svnit.ac.in/svphd The last date to apply online: May 31, 2024

Research Interests

  • image

    Embedded Vision (emVision)

    Hardware architecture for Visual Object Tracking, Face Detection, Face recognition, Intelligent transport systems

    Deep learning based implementation

  • image

    Hardware design for channel coder and decoder for digital communication system

    Hardware architecture for finit PG-LDPC, QC-LDPC decoder

    Coding for image communication system

    Current research on LDPC decoders focuses on efficient code design, throughput, and hardware reconfigurability. Most research work has focused on a new class of hardware efficient codes called quasi-cycle (QC) LDPC code, which have efficient architecture for decoding. We adress the architecture challenges of QC-LDPC decoder with short length and variable rate LDPC code.
