The current activities of the Advanced Computing and Microelectronics Unit (ACMU) are focussed on the different areas of Computer Science and Technology. Broadly speaking, the members of the Unit are engaged with the following three types of work:

• Theoretical and Applied Research Work
  
  
  • Pervasive Computing
  • Mobile and Dependable Computing
  • Parallel and Distributive Computing
  • Error Correction and Fault-Tolerance
  • Algorithms and Data Structures
  • Computational Geometry
  • VLSI Design
  • Logic Synthesis and Testing
  • Physical Design of Microchips
  • Embedded System
  • System-on-a-chip
  • Electronic Design Automation and Low-Power Architecture
  • Hardware for Image Processing
  • Nanotechnology and Gigascale Integration Techniques
  
  
• Developmental Project
  
  
  • Internally Funded Projects
  • Externally Funded Projects
  
  
• Teaching and Training
  
  

Externally Funded Projects

• "New Techniques of Fast Image Compression based on Human Vision Systems and Geometric Data Structures" (funded by Intel Corporation USA ), has been jointly undertaken by this unit and Machine Intelligence Unit. Several on-chip implementations of content-based image retrival techniques have been developed. Several patent applications have been filed at the US patent Office.
  
  
• "Delay Fault Modeleling and Test Generation for Power Supply Noise" (funded by Intel Corporation USA)
