CRISP project

CRISP project

Cutting edge Reconfigurable ICs for Stream Processing (CRISP) is a project in which a single highly scalable reconfigurable system concept is developed that can be used for a wide range of streaming applications; from low-cost consumer applications to demanding specialty applications. Project partners are: Recore Systems, University of Twente, Atmel Germany, Thales Netherlands, Tampere University of Technology and NXP Semiconductors.

CRISP themes

The CRISP project addresses optimal utilization, efficient programming and dependability of reconfigurable many-cores for streaming applications. The project is organized around 4 themes:

  1. Streaming applications - Targeted applications range from low-end consumer electronics and automotive applications to demanding high-end medical and defense applications.
  2. General Stream Processor (GSP) - The GSP is a dynamically reconfigurable many-core for streaming applications. It offers flexibility, high performance, low power, a small footprint, and development tools support.
  3. Run-time mapping - Computational resource utilization in a many-core can be dramatically improved by dynamic hardware/software partitioning at run-time. This also enables upgrading, bug fixing and hardware fault diagnosis and repair.
  4. Dependability - Dependability and yield of deep-submicron chips are improved using new techniques for static and dynamic detection and localization of faults and (dynamically) circumventing faulty hardware.

EU 7th Framework Programme

The project is supported by the 7th Framework Programme of the European Union (ICT-215881). Streaming applications have high market potentials and will drive demand for reconfigurable platform chips. CRISP contributes to European excellence in streaming applications and works toward increasing European market share of inexpensive stream processing platforms to achieve a world-leading position for Europe.
