Dr. Benjamin Levine’s graduate work at Carnegie Mellon University focused on reconfigurable computing architectures and applications. He was a key member of the team that developed the PipeRench reconfigurable architecture, a precursor to Rapport’s Kilocore. Dr. Levine worked with defense industry and government sponsors on PipeRench implementations of various image processing and target recognition applications. Under an IBM fellowship, Dr. Levine investigated architectures integrating reconfigurable computing fabrics with conventional processors. His FPGA-based research included a system for automatically implementing image and video processing applications, and near-Shannon Limit error correction codes. Dr. Levine’s Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering is from Carnegie Mellon University, and his M.S. and B.S. in Electrical Engineering are from the University of Tennessee. Dr. Levine has published widely, has taught computer architecture and digital systems design at Carnegie Mellon and the University of Pittsburgh, and is an inventor on one U.S. patent application. |
