AHA! Agile Hardware Center.
Hardware/software systems must become easier and more fun to develop.
We aim to enable a more agile hardware development flow, to quickly
and easily modify an existing design, letting us play with the
resulting system. Subprojects include:
Frankencamera 4
Halide for Heterogeneous Computing
Frankencamera 4
Halide for Heterogeneous Computing
Brain Mapping
histological brain sequences mapping to the Allen Mouse Brain Atlas
CNN Blocking
Better memory behavior for Convolutional Neural Nets.
Digital Analog Design
Mixed-signal design flow
FPU Generator (FPGen)
A state-of-the-art FPU generator
Frankencamera 4
Building a heterogeneous platform for computational photography
Half Page DRAM and Charge Recycling Refresh
Reducing DRAM energy waste.
Halide for Heterogeneous Computing
Compiling Halide applications onto CPU/FPGA heterogeneous platforms.
Software Actuated Genetic Engineering (SAGE)
A CMOS lab-on-a-chip for genetic engineering, with various sensing and actuation capabilities
Stanford Extremely Efficient Computing (SEEC)
Custom ASICs can be three orders of magnitude more energy efficient than conventional CPUs, but have often-prohibitive design costs. Our goal is to create new design methods and tools to allow inexpensive development of customized chips.
