Keshab K. Parhi(born 1959 in Bhadrak District,Odisha,India) is an electrical engineer and computer scientist. He is currently the Erwin A. Kelen Chair in the department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Minnesota,Twin Cities. His research addresses architecture design of VLSI integrated circuit chips for signal processing,communications,artificial intelligence,and cryptosystems with a focus on reducing latency and increasing speed,while also reducing chip area and energy consumption. His research has also addressed neural engineering and DNA computing. [1]
Parhi received the B. Tech. degree from the Indian Institute of Technology,Kharagpur in 1982,the M.S. degree from the University of Pennsylvania in 1984,and the Ph.D. degree from the University of California,Berkeley in 1988. He joined the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Minnesota,Twin Cities in October 1988. He was promoted to Associate Professor with tenure in July 1992 and promoted to full professor in July 1995. From July 1997 to June 2022,he held the Edgar F. Johnson Professorship in Electronic Communication. Since July 2022,he holds the Erwin A. Kelen Chair in Electrical Engineering. From July 2008 to August 2011,he served as the Director of Graduate Studies of the Electrical Engineering Program. [1]
Parhi has been a Visiting Professor at the Delft University of Technology (1996),Lund University (1999),Fudan University (2017),and Stanford University (2018). He has held short-term appointments at IBM T.J. Watson Research Center (1986),Bell Laboratories (1987),NEC C&C Laboratory (1992 and 1996-1997 on a US National Science Foundation-Cooperative Government Program (CGP) Fellowship), [2] Broadcom Corporation (2000-2002),and Medtronic (2006-2007). From 2005 to 2012,he served as Founder,President,and Chief Scientist of Leanics Corp. Leanics was supported by SBIR funding from the National Science Foundation and the Department of Defense. [3]
Parhi’s interdisciplinary research in late 1980s advanced the field of VLSI signal processing by integrating concepts from computer architecture,digital signal processing (DSP),and VLSI design. In particular,he developed algorithm transformations techniques [4] such as unfolding [5] and folding [6] for DSP programs described by iterative data-flow graphs.
His research has led to pipelined-parallel architectures for signal processing operations such as recursive [7] [8] and adaptive [9] [10] digital filters,decision-feedback equalizers, [11] [12] Tomlinson-Harashima precoders, [13] [14] parallel decision-feedback decoders, [15] and fast Fourier transforms. [16] [17] [18] He has developed architectures for modern error correction encoders/decoders including turbo codes, [19] low-density parity-check codes, [20] [21] and polar codes. [22] [23] These technologies are found in numerous integrated circuit chips for physical-layer communications in wired and wireless media that form the backbone of the internet.
His research has led to high-speed architectures for cryptosystems such as the advanced encryption standard (AES), [24] post-quantum cryptography, [25] and homomorphic encryption. [26] He has also developed approaches to obfuscating integrated circuits using keys to prevent the sale of excess parts and to protect key parameters of the design. [27] [28] In the 1990s,Parhi worked on a DARPA funded project on high-level synthesis that led to the development of the Minnesota Architecture Synthesis System (MARS) for time-constrained and resource-constrained synthesis of data-flow graphs. [29] His research group also developed the Hierarchical Energy Analysis Tool (HEAT) to estimate power consumption with circuit-simulation-level accuracy from logic-level simulation. [30]
Parhi has also authored over 725 papers and is inventor or co-inventor of 36 issued US patents. [31]
Parhi has served the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) in various capacities. He has served as Associate Editor for numerous transactions published by the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society and the IEEE Signal Processing Society. His leadership roles include: [1]
Hardware acceleration is the use of computer hardware designed to perform specific functions more efficiently when compared to software running on a general-purpose central processing unit (CPU). Any transformation of data that can be calculated in software running on a generic CPU can also be calculated in custom-made hardware, or in some mix of both.
In electronics, metastability is the ability of a digital electronic system to persist for an unbounded time in an unstable equilibrium or metastable state. In digital logic circuits, a digital signal is required to be within certain voltage or current limits to represent a '0' or '1' logic level for correct circuit operation; if the signal is within a forbidden intermediate range it may cause faulty behavior in logic gates the signal is applied to. In metastable states, the circuit may be unable to settle into a stable '0' or '1' logic level within the time required for proper circuit operation. As a result, the circuit can act in unpredictable ways, and may lead to a system failure, sometimes referred to as a "glitch". Metastability is an instance of the Buridan's ass paradox.
A quasi-delay-insensitive circuit is an asynchronous circuit design methodology employed in digital logic design. Developed in response to the performance challenges of building sub-micron, multi-core architectures with conventional synchronous designs, QDI circuits exhibit lower power consumption, extremely fine-grain pipelining, high circuit robustness against process–voltage–temperature variations, on-demand (event-driven) operation, and data-dependent completion time.
Richard "Dick" Francis Lyon is an American inventor, scientist, and engineer. He is one of the two people who independently invented the first optical mouse devices in 1980. He has worked in signal processing and was a co-founder of Foveon, Inc., a digital camera and image sensor company.
A field-programmable analog array (FPAA) is an integrated circuit device containing computational analog blocks (CABs) and interconnects between these blocks offering field-programmability. Unlike their digital cousin, the FPGA, the devices tend to be more application driven than general purpose as they may be current mode or voltage mode devices. For voltage mode devices, each block usually contains an operational amplifier in combination with programmable configuration of passive components. The blocks can, for example, act as summers or integrators.

An application-specific instruction set processor (ASIP) is a component used in system on a chip design. The instruction set architecture of an ASIP is tailored to benefit a specific application. This specialization of the core provides a tradeoff between the flexibility of a general purpose central processing unit (CPU) and the performance of an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC).

Pipelining is an important technique used in several applications such as digital signal processing (DSP) systems, microprocessors, etc. It originates from the idea of a water pipe with continuous water sent in without waiting for the water in the pipe to come out. Accordingly, it results in speed enhancement for the critical path in most DSP systems. For example, it can either increase the clock speed or reduce the power consumption at the same speed in a DSP system.
