Generating Configurable Hardware from Parallel Patterns

Christos Kozyrakis

In recent years the computing landscape has seen an increasing shift towards specialized accelerators. Field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) are particularly promising for the implementation of these accelerators, as they offer significant performance and ...

Right On Time Distributed Shared Memory

Rachid Guerraoui, David Kozhaya, Yvonne Anne Pignolet-Oswald

The demand for real-time data storage in distributed control systems (DCSs) is growing. Yet, providing real- time DCS guarantees is challenging, especially when more and more sensor and actuator devices are connected to industrial plants and message loss n ...

Uniting Language Embeddings for Fast and Friendly DSLs

Vojin Jovanovic

The holy grail for a domain-specific language (DSL) is to be friendly and fast. A DSL should be friendly in the sense that it is easy to use by DSL end-users, and easy to develop by DSL authors. DSLs can be developed as entirely new compilers and ecosystem ...

Axo: Masking Delay Faults in Real-Time Control Systems

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Simon Bliudze, Wajeb Saab

We consider real-time control systems that consist of a controller that computes and sends setpoints to be implemented in physical processes through process agents. We focus on systems that use commercial off-the-shelf hardware and software components. Set ...

Isolates, channels, and event streams for composable distributed programming

Martin Odersky, Aleksandar Prokopec

The actor model has been a model of choice for building reliable distributed systems. On one hand, it ensures that message-processing is serialized within each actor, preserving the familiar sequential programming model. On the other hand, programs written ...

Verification of Component-based Systems via Predicate Abstraction and Simultaneous Set Reduction

Simon Bliudze, Qiang Wang

This paper presents a novel safety property verification approach for component-based systems modelled in BIP (Behaviour, Interaction and Priority), encompassing multiparty synchronisation with data transfer and priority. Our contributions consist of: (1 ...

Igatools: an isogeometric analysis library

Pablo Antolin Sanchez

We present the design of an object oriented general purpose library for isogeometric analysis, where the mathematical concepts of the isogeometric method and their relationships are directly mapped into classes and their interactions. The encapsulation of ...

High-level languages allow programmers to express data structures and algorithms that abstract over the type of data they handle. This improves code reuse and makes it possible to develop general-purpose libraries. Yet, data abstractions slow down program ...

New Logic Synthesis As Nanotechnology Enabler (invited paper)

Giovanni De Micheli, Pierre-Emmanuel Julien Marc Gaillardon, Luca Gaetano Amarù, Subhasish Mitra

Nanoelectronics comprises a variety of devices whose electrical properties are more complex as compared to CMOS, thus enabling new computational paradigms. The potentially large space for innovation has to be explored in the search for technologies that ca ...
