In the early 2000s, a small research group in the Computer Science Department of the Technical University of Cluj-Napoca set out to answer an unusual question: instead of writing software to fit a fixed processor, what if you generated the processor to fit the software? The result was CREC, a low-cost, general-purpose reconfigurable computer whose hardware architecture was synthesised, application by application, through a hardware/software co-design process. The project’s name traces back to its lead researcher, Octavian Creţ.
