Career
Holger Blume, born in 1967, studied electrical engineering at the University of Dortmund from 1987 to 1992. During his studies he was a scholarship holder of the German National Academic Foundation. From 1993 to 1996 he was a research assistant in the Circuits for Information Processing group at the University of Dortmund (Prof. Dr. H. Schröder). From 1996-1998 he was employed as a research associate at the Informatik Centrum Dortmund (ICD). In 1997, he received his PhD with honors from the University of Dortmund on the topic of "Nonlinear Fault-Tolerant Interpolation of Intermediate Images".
From 1998 to 2008, he worked first as a senior engineer and later as an academic senior councillor at the Department of General Electrical Engineering and Data Processing Systems at RWTH Aachen University (Prof. Dr. T. G. Noll). In February 2008 he habilitated there with a thesis on "Exploration of the Design Space for Heterogeneous Architectures for Digital Video Signal Processing".
In July 2008, he followed a call to Leibniz Universität Hannover where he has been working since then as professor for "Architectures and Systems" and as managing director of the Institute for Microelectronic Systems (IMS).

OPAROIn the development of integrated, programmable circuits, the optimization of power dissipation and temperature distribution is becoming increasingly important. So far, however, these can only be determined by very time-consuming simulations. Therefore, precise models for the determination of power dissipation shall be developed and mapped together with the functional emulation on FPGAs. By accelerating the determination of power dissipation and temperature distribution, specific optimizations of the architecture and the application code can then be made taking real input data into account.Led by: Prof. Dr.-Ing.

Stochastic ProcessorStochastic computing has recently emerged as a promising approach for designing energy-efficient embedded hardware systems, taking into account the ability of many applications (e.g., computer vision) to tolerate the loss of precision in the computed results. Rather than designing the hardware for worst case scenarios featuring expensive guard-bands, designers can relax the implementation constraints and deliberately expose hardware variability, obtaining significant processing performance improvements and energy benefits.Led by: Jun.-Prof. Dr.-Ing.

TETRACOMNowadays, continuous development of digital signal processing applications, e.g., video-based advanced driver assistance systems, are pushing the limits of existing embedded systems and are forcing system developers to spend more time on code optimization. These applications often involve complex mathematical functions like trigonometric, logarithmic, exponential, or square root operations. In particular, these functions can only efficiently be computed on standard general purpose embedded processors, using highly optimized, processor specific arithmetic evaluation software libraries. Another alternative is to extend the embedded processor architectures with a specific hardware accelerator.Led by: Jun.-Prof. Dr.-Ing. G. Payá-VayáTeam:Year: 2016Duration: January 2016 - July 2016

GreenMLThe project "GreenML" aims to exemplify a holistic AI design process by the highly efficient and resource-optimized implementation of essential FAS functions like object detection, object classification, and scene contextualization on particular hardware. Deep Learning (DL) has become a central approach for modern AI applications. Even though energy-efficient DL has become a target in research, currently isolated solutions are often created that do not unleash the full potential for resource-efficient AI. In this project, we will focus on a holistic approach: from hardware to efficient coding and transfer of data and models to dynamic and resource-adaptive software to enable multi-criteria optimization of all facets of an AI-enabled system. As an example, we demonstrate the potential of this approach using the scenario of a modern driver assistance system (FAS). With about 67 million registered vehicles and increased e-mobility, saving required energy by combining efficient algorithms, communication, and hardware is urgently needed. Our "Green Assisted Driving" project addresses different energy consumption, safety, and flexibility metrics. The consortium combines low-power hardware, learning of efficient representations from large data sets, hyperparameter optimization, and network design using AutoML, as well as methods of transfer learning, semi-supervised learning, and network pruning to prototype highly efficient and dynamically controllable models on a FAS. and demonstrate the savings potential of a holistic approach.Led by: Prof. Dr.-Ing. habil H.

Efficient Real-time Processing of EEG-SignalsA brain-computer interface (BCI) is a system that generates signals to control an artificial system based on measurements of the activity of the central nervous system, for example, to replace, enhance or supplement certain tasks of human action. Modern BCIs are often based on the decoding or interpretation of EEG signals, as such systems are both non-invasive and cost-effectively available. These sensors detect a variety of independent, superimposed signals that make their immediate use for controlling a digital system difficult. Therefore, each application and corresponding application environment requires specifically designed and customized algorithms. This project therefore investigates methods for the efficient real-time processing of EEG signals. For this purpose, the Institute of Microelectronic Systems is developing a complete system of dedicated, configurable hardware in combination with a signal-processing framework specially adapted for the processing of EEG signals.Led by: Prof. Dr.-Ing.

The system should consist of multiple sensor units and allow the athlete or coach to quickly and precisely perform different functional sensorimotor tests. The sensor units can be placed at different points on or next to the subject's body, depending on the concrete test being performed. Also depending on the test, different algorithms are to be used for classifying and evaluating the measurements from the sensor units.
