The IPF project is an international collaboration among University of California, Irvine, TU Munich and TU Braunschweig.
IPF stands for Information Processing Factory and it is a step towards autonomous Multi-Processor System-on-Chip (MPSoC) platforms in Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) and the Internet of Things (IoT). IPF represents a paradigm shift in platform design, with robust and independent platform operation focusing on futuristic platform-centric design, rather than the traditional focus on semiconductor device and software technology.
The following research staff are involved with the project at TU Braunschweig: Thawra Kadeed and Dr.-Ing. Eberle A. Rambo.
IPF is jointly funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (German Research Foundation - DFG) and the National Science Foundation (NSF).
The project started on March 1st, 2018 with a DFG funding period of 3 years.
