Our experimental compiler (from C source to FPGA) [84], [85] was developped and tested against half a dozen very challenging applications, derived from industrial partners. sustained the full version of our "motion estimation algorithm", a very complex hardware design, by any measure. The design was successfully transferred to LetItWave, as part of our ANR contract.

This year has seen more robust technology transfer (through key ANR contracts), to two (RealViz and LetItWave) successful French high-tech startups.

From a more cryptographic point of view, we are also implementing a prototype for our candidate SIMD to the NIST Competition SHA-3 on FPGA.
