Research Areas

Andreas Koch is performing research in the area of specialized computing systems, sometimes called application-specific or domain-specific architectures. These specialized computers, which can range from ultra-low power embedded systems up to data-center high-performance computers, often improve upon general purpose systems (e.g., PCs or servers) with better performance, energy efficiency, or security. Dr. Koch does not just work on the internal architecture for such systems, but also on the programming tools required for their actual use. This includes high-level methods such as domain-specific languages and compilers, as well as low-level tools from the areas of Electronic Design Automation (e.g., place&route, scheduling etc.).
