Nanoscale Design and Test Research and Education Group (NREG)
Summary
Nanoscale Design and Test Research and Education Group (NREG) at the University of North Texas is an interdisciplinary research group engaged in research and education in nanoscale design and testing. The group consists of and supported by four laboratories, five faculty and several graduate and undergraduate students. The group actively engaged in cutting-edge research in various areas of VLSI, such as CAD and Modeling for Nanoscale VLSI Circuits, Synthesis and Optimization for Low Power, Power Aware System Design, and VLSI Architecture for Security and Copyright Protection, Analog-Mixed signal circuits design, RF domain design, FPGA and physical synthesis. The faculty members of the group offer several courses with a strong research flavor in order to train students and generate future researchers in VLSI.
Facilities
NREG conducts its research using modern state-of-the-art hardware facilities to meet the computational demands of VLSI design through the College of Engineering. The facilities include a Sunfire v440 server, an HP Dual Xeon Server, several Sun Opteron workstations, several Sunblade workstations, several Linux workstations and Windows computers. They are all connected to a 3-TB RAID storage array. In addition there are several FPGA boards for faster prototyping of VLSI architectures. We are in the process of acquiring a test bed facility for testing of post fabricated chips. In addition to the above software a complete suite of Cadence and Xilinx tools are available. In addition, we are in the process of acquiring Synopsys design tools in the near future.
