Summary on Grant Application Form
Investigation of partial evaluation of hardware as a technique to enable the exploitation of dynamic reconfiguration. The investigation involves: investigation of the design techniques to enable the generation of specialised circuits from generic circuits using the partial evaluation technique; formal verification of the algorithms that perform the specialisation; application of the technique to problems in (ATM) communications systems. The programme of work is based on the development of tools and techniques using a set of increasingly complex case studies: parallel multiplier, cryptology example (e.g. DES or RSA) and finally an ATM queuing component. As background the work involves the development of the system run-time and tools for instrumentation of the devices produced.
