International Initiatives

The Cairn team members are involved in close international cooperations with the following laboratories and universities:

• LRTS laboratory of Laval University in Québec (Canada) on architectures for MIMO systems, with funds from FFQR and INRIA “Associated Team” (2006-2008);

• LSSI laboratory of Québec University in Trois-Rivières (Canada) on the design of architectures for digital filters and mobile communications;

• ENIT (Tunisia) on architectures for mobile communications;

• Computer Science Department of the University of Colorado State in Fort-Collins (USA) on loop parallelization and on the development of high-level synthesis tools, this collaboration is supported by the INRIA "équipe associée" program since January 2010;

• Los Alamos National Laboratory (USA) on optimized application specific reconfigurable architectures design;

• University of Adelaide (Australia) on arithmetic operators;

• University of Queensland (Australia) on reconfigurable architectures for scientific processing;

• University of California, Riverside (USA) on optimized image processing applications synthesis;

• VLSI CAD lab of the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department of University of Massachusetts at Amherst, USA on CAD tools for arithmetic datapath synthesis and optimization;

• University of Douala, University of Yaoundé and University of Dschang in Cameroun on models and tools for parallelization. This cooperation takes place in the scope of the SARIMA GIS for the development of research laboratories in Mathematics and Computer Science in Africa.
