Academic and Research InformationAs part of my Phd thesis I'm doing research on computer architecture for
multimedia processing at the High Performance Computing Group of
UPC-DAC. (Barcelona. Spain).
Specifically I'm focusing my research work on architectures for high definition digital video processing using new video codecs like H.264. My thesis advisors are Mateo Valero and Alex Ramirez. I am also interested in application specific processors for multimedia applications, video processors, vector processors, SIMD extensions, performance evaluation, and processor design using hardware description languages. Related to that I am very interested in the field of video coding, and the use of free-software for testing and researching in video codecs. Index
