This work will build on the success of the reconfigurable instruction cell processor (RICA), developed through a successful EPSRC project and a following spinout. The technology was acquired by a Tier 1 semiconductor company in California. The following work will focus on designing the next generation architecture that will drive internet of things based devices and will aim to minimise power consumption further through both hardware and software techniques. The work will also integrate various communication components based on Bluetooth Low Energy, LTE, WiFi in order to establish multi layered energy efficient communication with the cloud.
