Dirk leads the Novel Computing Technologies group at Heidelberg University. He and his group work mostly on FPGAs, including applications, designing and taping out own FPGA chips (check out the FABulous eFPGA project) and various FPGA tools (like the FPGADefender FPGA bitstream virus scanner). His group designed a single FPGA system with 16 RISC-V threads running at 500 MHz and we just achieved the first 1GHz RISC-V implementation running on an FPGA.
