Research

Dr. Hoe is interested in many aspects of computer architecture and digital hardware design. Dr. Hoe’s current primary research focus is on devising a new FPGA architecture for power efficient, high-performance computing. He is working on a new 3D-FPGA architecture for datacenter servers and an FPGA runtime environment that incorporates partial reconfiguration and virtualization to manage an FPGA as a dynamically sharable multitasking compute resource.
