Luca Carloni creates and develops system architectures and design technologies for heterogeneous computing. Heterogeneity is the key to both high performance and energy efficiency. Examples of heterogeneous computing platforms range from the systems-on-chip that are at the core of smartphones and automotive electronics to the high-performance servers that empower the data centers in the cloud.
Carloni has made research contributions across all main aspects of engineering these computing platforms, including system architecture, hardware design, software programming, networking, power management, rapid prototyping, system-level design methodologies, and computer-aided design (CAD) tools.
