Electrical and Computer Engineering

To study the business, organization and technical issues related to managing systems found in cell phones, in-vehicle and hand-held travel guidance systems and other network enabled devices, and building infrastructures, Carnegie Mellon CyLab launched the Mobility Research Center (MRC) this past summer in conjunction with Carnegie Mellon Silicon Valley.

The National Science Foundation has highlighted the Spiral Project on the "Discoveries" section of its website. Only a few NSF funded projects are chosen from across all disciplines to be featured in Discoveries.

Spiral, a tool developed in ECE under the lead of Professors Markus Püschel and José Moura, can replace the human programmer in the very difficult task of writing highest performance code for important numerical functions and often achieves even better performance than human programmers.

A paper published by ECE research professor Markus Püschel and ECE professor José Moura is one of the Top 100 papers accessed in IEEE Xplore during the month of August. The paper, titled "Algebraic Signal Processing Theory: Foundation and 1-D Time," was published in the August 2008 issue of the IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing.

The Center for Silicon System Implementation (CSSI) at Carnegie Mellon is composed of 18 faculty from the Departments of Electrical and Computer Engineering and Computer Science and over 80 graduate students. The center has strong ties to both the national and international semiconductor, design and EDA industrial communities.
