The Phoenix project explores the direct implementation of
programs in (reconfigurable) hardware. The benefits of this approach
are: low energy consumption, reduced design and manufacturing costs,
high performance.
We attack the problem both top-down and bottom-up:
- Bottom-up, we study the use of nanotechnology for building very large reconfigurable devices.
- Top-down, we study the automatic synthesis of circuits from programs written in high-level languages.
