Supervisors and location

Laboratory Supervisor: Dr. Piotr Patronik, Piotr.Patronik@pwr.edu.pl

Location: room L2.1 in building C-16 on the WUST Campus

Scope of activities

The primary focus of the laboratory is teaching and research in computer architecture, advanced databases, system security, and signal processing. The software has been installed for the virtualization, and programming of 32- and 64-bit microcontrollers and microprocessors with ARM and x86 architectures (simple and cross-compilers GCC, GDB, binutils). The room is equipped with a multimedia projector, screen, and whiteboards. The room is used for classes related to the organization and architecture of computers, security of networks and computer systems, advanced databases, distributed microcontroller networks with wireless communication as part of the Internet of things and autonomous measurement systems, and classes related to digital signal processing.

Offer for Industry

The laboratory can carry out research work in the areas of low-level C/assembler and distributed programming, system integrity, and security issues,

microcontroller programming for general applications, digital signal processing and low-power communications, and real-time systems programming for industrial and embedded applications.
