Resource Sharing in Dataflow Circuits

Paolo Ienne, Andrea Guerrieri, Lana Josipovic, Axel Marmet

To achieve resource-efficient hardware designs, high-level synthesis (HLS) tools share (i.e., time-multiplex) functional units among operations of the same type. This optimization is typically performed in conjunction with operation scheduling to ensure th ...

High-Level Synthesis of Dynamically Scheduled Circuits

Lana Josipovic

High-Level Synthesis (HLS) tools generate hardware designs from high-level programming languages. These tools almost universally build datapaths that are controlled using a centralized controller which relies on a static, compile-time schedule to determine ...

Post-P&R Performance and Power Analysis for RRAM-based FPGAs

Giovanni De Micheli, Xifan Tang, Pierre-Emmanuel Julien Marc Gaillardon, Edouard Giacomin

Resistive Random Access Memory (RRAM)-based FPGAs are predicted to outperform conventional FPGAs architectures in area, delay and power over a wide range of voltage operations, allowing novel energy-quality trade-offs for reconfigurable computing. The oppo ...

Virtual Prototyping Methodology for Power Automation Cyber-Physical-Systems

Juan Sebastian Rodriguez Estupinan

In this thesis, the author proposes a circular system development model which considers all the stages in a typical development process for industrial systems. In particular, the present work shows that the use of virtual prototyping at early stages of the ...

Majority-based Synthesis for Nanotechnologies

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

We study the logic synthesis of emerging nanotechnologies whose elementary devices abstraction is a majority voter. We argue that synthesis tools, natively supporting the majority logic abstraction, are the technology enablers. This is because they allow d ...

Imprecise Security: Quality and Complexity Tradeoffs for Hardware Information Flow Tracking

Paolo Ienne, Andrew James Becker, Ryan Charles Kastner, Wei Hu

Secure hardware design is a challenging task that goes far beyond ensuring functional correctness. Important design properties such as non-interference cannot be verified on functional circuit models due to the lack of essential information (e.g., sensitiv ...

Enhancing Design Space Exploration by Extending CPU/GPU Specifications onto FPGAs

Andreas Peter Burg, Paolo Ienne, Georgios Karakonstantis, David Novo Bruna, Madhura Purnaprajna, Gabriel Falcao Paiva Fernandes, João Maria Duarte Andrade

The design cycle for complex special-purpose computing systems is extremely costly and time-consuming. It involves a multiparametric design space exploration for optimization, followed by design verification. Designers of special purpose VLSI implementatio ...
