  2. 1. Advances on Adaptive Fault-Tolerant System Components: Micro-processors, NoCs, and DRAM

    Author : Alirad Malek; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Network-on-Chip; Quality-of-Service; Main memory; Micro-processors; Error-Correcting Codes; Reliability analysis; Adaptive fault tolerance;

    Abstract : The adverse effects of technology scaling on reliability of digital circuits have made the use of fault tolerance techniques more necessary in modern computing systems. Digital designers continuously search for efficient techniques to improve reliability, while keeping the imposed overheads low. READ MORE

  4. 2. Reconfigurable NoC and Processors Tolerant to Permanent Faults

    Author : Alirad Malek; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Networks-on-Chip; Fault Tolerance; Permanent Faults; Reconfigurable Hardware; Adaptive processors;

    Abstract : Advances in semiconductor industry have led to reduced transistor dimensions andincreased device density, but inevitably they have compromised the reliability of moderncomputing systems. In this thesis, we address the reliability problemby exploitinghardware reconfiguration for tolerating permanent faults. READ MORE

  5. 3. Adaptive Coarse-grain Reconfigurable Protocol Processing Architecture

    Author : Mohammad Badawi; Ahmed Hemani; Zhonghai Lu; Zainalabedin Navabi; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Adaptive Architecture; Reconfigurable Architecture; Protocol Processing; Informations- och kommunikationsteknik; Information and Communication Technology;

    Abstract : Digital signal processors and their variants have provided significant benefit to efficient implementation of Physical Layer (PHY) of Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model’s seven-layer protocol processing stack compared to the general purpose processors. Protocol processors promise to provide a similar advantage for implementing higher layers in the (OSI)'s seven-layer model. READ MORE

  6. 4. Adaptive Solvers for High-Dimensional PDE Problems on Clusters of Multicore Processors

    Author : Magnus Grandin; Sverker Holmgren; Michael Thuné; Michael Bader; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; adaptive mesh refinement; anisotropic refinement; exponential integrators; Lanczos algorithm; hybrid parallelization; time-dependent Schrödinger equation; Scientific Computing; Beräkningsvetenskap;

    Abstract : Accurate numerical solution of time-dependent, high-dimensional partial differential equations (PDEs) usually requires efficient numerical techniques and massive-scale parallel computing. In this thesis, we implement and evaluate discretization schemes suited for PDEs of higher dimensionality, focusing on high order of accuracy and low computational cost. READ MORE

  7. 5. Exploiting data locality in adaptive architectures

    Author : Dan Wallin; Erik Hagersten; Sverker Holmgren; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Computer Systems; Datorteknik;

    Abstract : The speed of processors increases much faster than the memory access time. This makes memory accesses expensive. To meet this problem, cache hierarchies are introduced to serve the processor with data. However, the effectiveness of caches depends on the amount of locality in the application's memory access pattern. READ MORE
