Rapid Digital Architecture Design of Computationally Complex Algorithms

Traditional digital design techniques hardly keep up with the rising abundance of programmable circuitry found on recent Field-Programmable Gate Arrays. Therefore, the novel Rapid Data Type-Agnostic Digital Design Methodology (RDAM) elevates the design perspective of digital design engineers away from the register-transfer level to the algorithmic level. It is founded on the capabilities of High-Level Synthesis tools. By consequently working with data type-agnostic source codes, the RDAM brings significant simplifications to the fixed-point conversion of algorithms and the design of complex-valued architectures. Signal processing applications from the field of Compressed Sensing illustrate the efficacy of the RDAM in the context of multi-user wireless communications. For instance, a complex-valued digital architecture of Orthogonal Matching Pursuit with rank-1 updating has successfully been implemented and tested

Landscaping - Untersuchung der Anforderung an die energieintensive Wirtschaft und den Standort NRW im Übergang zu einem weitgehend auf erneuerbaren Energien basierenden Energiesystem der Zukunft : Abschlussbericht

Im Forschungsprojekt "Landscaping" untersuchte das Wuppertal Institut die für Nordrhein-Westfalen aus heutiger Sicht denkbaren Technologieansätze, die dafür nötigen politischen Rahmenbedingungen sowie mögliche Innovationen entlang der Wertschöpfungsketten. Bestandteil des Berichts sind Steckbriefe, in denen die möglichen Technologien für treibhausgasneutrale Industrieprozesse samt offener Forschungsfragen und Infrastrukturbedarfe dargestellt sind. Das Projekt entstand im Auftrag des Ministeriums für Wirtschaft, Innovation, Digitalisierung und Energie des Landes Nordrhein-Westfalen
