Research Projects at VLSI System and Computation Lab

This page consists of all major research projects of VLSI System and Computation Lab (VSCLAB) at UC Riverside (2002 – now). In the past several years, the VSCLAB has focused on several important and emerging research areas shown below and made a number of contributions in each of the areas. Some of the projects have leaded to the CAD tools developed for free download (binary or source codes) to promote the research and technology transfer.

Currently Funded Research Projects

  • Machine and deep learning for VLSI reliability modeling and optimization
  • Advanced VLSI design techniques for machine and deep learnings
  • VLSI long-term reliability, resilient systems, fault tolerant computing,  reliability-aware design and management at circuit and system levels
  • Machine learning based thermal modeling, optimization and dynamic thermal management at circuit, chip and board levels
  • Parallel computing and  analysis on heterogeneous and accelerator-rich (GPUs) platforms
  • Statistic modeling and optimization for VLSI systems
