Thermal Balancing Policy for Multiprocessor Stream Computing Platforms

Giovanni De Micheli, David Atienza Alonso, Luca Benini

Die-temperature control to avoid hotspots is increasingly critical in Multiprocessor System-on-Chip (MPSoCs) for stream computing. In this context, thermal balancing policies based on task migration are a promising approach to re-distribute power dissipati ...

Spatio-Temporal Memory Streaming

Anastasia Ailamaki, Babak Falsafi

Recent research advocates memory streaming techniques to alleviate the performance bottleneck caused by the high latencies of off-chip memory accesses. Temporal memory streaming replays previously observed miss sequences to eliminate long chains of depende ...

Experimental and Theoretical Investigation of Degradation Mechanisms in SOFC Electrodes

Christos Comninellis, Jan Van Herle, Aïcha Hessler-Wyser, Antonin Faes, Pietro Tanasini

Performance degradation data obtained on single solid oxide fuel cells tested at 850°C with air and humidified H2 and using Ni-YSZ anode supported cells are presented. Microscopic investigation is carried out on both anode and cathode to quantify variation ...

Impact of Denial of Service Attacks on Ad Hoc Networks

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Imad Aad

Significant progress has been made towards making ad hoc networks secure and DoS resilient. However, little attention has been focused on quantifying DoS resilience: Do ad hoc networks have sufficiently redundant paths and counter-DoS mechanisms to make Do ...

Temporal instruction fetch streaming

Anastasia Ailamaki, Babak Falsafi, Michael Ferdman

L1 instruction-cache misses pose a critical performance bottleneck in commercial server workloads. Cache access latency constraints preclude L1 instruction caches large enough to capture the application, library, and OS instruction working sets of these wo ...

Timing-Error-Tolerant Network-on-Chip Design Methodology

Giovanni De Micheli, Luca Benini, Srinivasan Murali, Federico Angiolini

With technology scaling, the wire delay as a fraction of the total delay is increasing, and the communication architecture is becoming a major bottleneck for system performance in systems on chip (SoCs). A communication-centric design paradigm, networks on ...

Systematic Methodology for Exploration of Performance – Energy Trade-offs in Network Applications Using Dynamic Data Type Refinement

David Atienza Alonso

Modern network applications require high performance and consume a lot of energy. Their inherent dynamic nature makes the dynamic memory subsystem a critical contributing factor to the overall energy consumption and to the execution time performance. This ...

Compilation for Delay Impact Minimization in VLIW Embedded Systems

David Atienza Alonso, José Luis Ayala Rodrigo

Tomorrow’s embedded devices need to run high resolution multimedia as well as need to support multistandard wireless systems which require an enormous computational complexity with a very low energy consumption and very high performance constraints. In thi ...

Estimating the Confidence Interval of Expected Performance Curve in Biometric Authentication Using Joint Bootstrap

Samy Bengio, Norman Hoon Thian Poh

Evaluating biometric authentication performance is a complex task because the performance depends on the user set size, composition and the choice of samples. We propose to reduce the performance dependency of these three factors by deriving appropriate co ...
