A research program is conducted in parallel computing systems and VLSI          design and test.  This research project involves two major areas.  The          primary area concerns algorithms and architectures for parallel                 processing systems.  The secondary area deals with the computer-aided           design and testing of VLSI circuits.  The work explores the automated           design and implementation of multiple processor systems for signal              processing and other applications.  The focus is on the design of               individual special purpose processing elements, as well as the design           of the interprocessor interconnection structures.  The hardware                 acceleration of certain computation-intensive CAD algorithms is also            investigated.  Candidate algorithms include circuit simulation and              finite element analysis.  Reliability and fault tolerance issues                related to these parallel systems are studied.  Efforts are underway to         develop a new methodology and associated software tools for testing             modern MOS VLSI circuits.
