Role
Leading WP4, performance analysis, distributed hardware and software systems, real-time processing, multi-objective optimisation.
Specific skills
The Computer Engineering and Networks Laboratory at Swiss Federal Institute of Technology has about 50 PhD students and is led by professor Lothar Thiele. The researchers involved in the PREDATOR project have experience in the following areas:
- Multi-objective optimisation: the research group is a centre of excellence in multi-objective optimisation. Results relate to the underlying theory as well as to providing algorithms and software which is currently used by many research groups worldwide.
- Performance estimation: the group has been developing analytic methods based on max-+ algebra to analyze combined computation and communication systems. The method leads to a modular approach to performance analysis of distributed hardware-software systems.
- Stream-based processing: the research group has outstanding expertise in modeling and analyzing flows of packets in communication and computation systems.
Currently, the research group is involved in the European network of Excellence ARTIST2 (leading the activities in the area of execution platforms for real-time applications) and the European IP project SHAPES (leading the software related activities of mapping parallel applications to a tiled processor array). In the PREDATOR project, this expertise will be extended towards a new methodology that combines predictability and efficiency in a synergistic manner. The focus will be on developing new adaptive methods at the layer of distributed operation.
