The Reconfigurable & Embedded Digital Systems (REDS) institute, which is attached to the Department of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) of the HEIG-VD, has strong R&D expertise in high-performance embedded systems.
The activities of the Institute rely on three strategical axes:
These competencies were applied in different large scale research projects (FP7, nano-tera)as, for example:
Perplexus (FP7)
ISyPeM (nano-tera)
QCrypt (nano-tera)
- Hardware-oriented Efficient Information Processing
- Software-oriented Heterogeneous Device Support
- Integrated Design of Embedded Systems
Core competencies
Hardware design
- Schematics and layout
- Design for programmable logic (FPGA, CPLD) in VHDL/Verilog
- Simulation and verification: UVM, SytemVerilog, SystemC
Embedded software
- Embedded and real time operating systems: embedded Linux, various RTOS, Android
- Low-level software and middleware: OS adaptations, drivers
- Embedded virtualisation
- Software for heterogeneous devices (CPU, GPU, DSP, FPGA,...)
These competencies were applied in different large scale research projects (FP7, nano-tera)as, for example:
Perplexus (FP7)
ISyPeM (nano-tera)
