Kenji Kise Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that turns new computer mechanisms into working systems on FPGAs.
AboutAbout the lab
Designing the inside of a computer, by hand.
The Kenji Kise Lab pursues new computer systems and hardware accelerators.
Its main subjects are computer architecture, embedded systems, and FPGA technology.
Using FPGAs, the lab designs the architectures of processors and accelerators and runs them as actual circuits.
The lab works on circuits that speed up data sorting, RISC-V processors, emulation of networks on chip, and more.
Key terms
- FPGA
- An integrated circuit whose internal circuitry can be freely reconfigured after manufacturing. A designed circuit can be run and tested right away.
- Hardware accelerator
- A dedicated circuit for performing specific processing quickly. It is used in place of a general-purpose CPU.
- RISC-V
- An open instruction set architecture that anyone can use freely. It serves as a foundation for processor design.
NewsLab news
CFU Proving Ground, a co-design environment for FPGAs, is released
A new book on computer architecture is published
ResearchResearch themes
The lab designs the mechanisms of computers themselves and verifies them by running them on FPGAs. The goal of each project is to build a new architecture that achieves high performance.
*Illustrative imageHigh-Performance Hardware Sorter
Sorting data is used in many situations, and the larger the data, the more speed matters. The lab aims to establish the architecture of a high-performance hardware sorter for FPGAs.
*Illustrative imageRISC-V Soft Processor
A soft processor is a microprocessor that can be implemented entirely on a reconfigurable device such as an FPGA. The lab designs and implements a high-performance soft processor based on RISC-V, an openly available instruction set.
*Illustrative imageEmulation of Networks on Chip
In manycore processors, the performance of the network that carries data between cores (the network on chip, or NoC) greatly affects overall speed. The lab aims to establish a mechanism for emulating NoCs at high speed using FPGAs.
*Illustrative imageAccelerating the N-Queens Problem
The N-Queens problem is a generalization of the eight queens puzzle, and its computational cost grows rapidly as N becomes larger. To solve open instances in realistic time, the lab designs fast solvers and systems.
