Professor Brunvand joined the Department of Computer Science in 1990. He has interests in computer architecture and VLSI systems in general, and self-timed and asynchronous systems in particular. One aspect of his research involves compiling concurrent communicating programs into asynchronous VLSI circuits. The current system allows programs written in a subset of occam, a concurrent message-passing programming language based on CSP, to be automatically compiled into a set of self-timed circuit modules suitable for manufacture as an integrated circuit. He is also interested in investigating the effects of asynchrony on computer systems architecture at a higher level. To explore these ideas he is building a series of prototype asynchronous computer systems out of FPGA and custom VLSI chips.
The 1996 conference, Async96, was held in Aizu, Japan from March 18-21, 1996. A rousing success! Check out the Async96 home page for more information.
The 1997 confernce, Async97, will be held in Eindhoven, The Netherlands, from April 7-10 1997. The Async97 home page has more details.
