The RPCT project aims to define a software framework providing an efficient support for the automatic generation and management of dedicated reconfigurable systems. The starting points of this framework are the high-level specifications provided as dataflow models. The main outcome of this research is the Multi Dataflow Composer (MDC) tool, which automatically generates a reconfigurable hardware platform. The MDC tool is extremely suitable in video and image processing contexts, portable platforms and bio-medical signal processing applications (i.e. implantable or wearable devices). The RPCT research project has been developed within the Microelectronics and Bioengineering Lab (EOLAB) of the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at the University of Cagliari.
