The University of California, Irvine (UC Irvine) received a $127,484 National Science Foundation (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) Project Grant (CFDA 47.070) on Jan 15, 2025. The grant supports the development of an efficient compilation and synthesis flow to translate high-level programs into domain-specific reconfigurable heterogeneous acceleration systems. Key innovations include: 1) a heterogeneous acceleration system template combining hardened accelerators, reconfigurable logic, and general-purpose processors; 2) an optimizing compiler and agile design automation flow to partition and compile application code, and generate optimized hardware system designs; 3) a hardware-aware learning-based optimization engine to configure the heterogeneous system; and 4) optimal runtime scheduling and dynamic reconfiguration of the programmable logic. This fundamental research in electronic design automation is expected to advance the development of modern computing systems and design methodologies.
