Prof. Herman Schmit was the original Principle Investigater of the Digital Sandbox Project. Prof Schmit has moved on to a start-up company called Tabula as of DEcember of 2003. Prof. Rob Rutenbar now teaches the SDX Course at CMU. The goal of Professor Schmit's research is to develop technology that will enable large-scale reconfigurable computing in the age of billion-transistor chips. He is developing FPGA architectures specifically for computation and scalability, applications for these architectures, software tools to automate the development of applications for these architectures, and techniques to interface these architectures with microprocessor-based computers.
