  2. 1. Beyond-application datasets and automated fair benchmarking

    Author : Krister Blanch; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; algorithm evaluation; autonomous systems; containerisation; vehicle odometry; Beyond-application datasets; automatic fair benchmarking;

    Abstract : Beyond-application perception datasets are generalised datasets that emphasise the fundamental components of good machine perception data. When analysing the history of perception datatsets, notable trends suggest that design of the dataset typically aligns with an application goal. READ MORE

  4. 2. Program Analysis for Performance and Reliability

    Author : Jacob Lidman; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; static dynamic program analysis; abstract interpretation; performance; reliability;

    Abstract : The increased demand for computing power has lead designers to put an ever increasing number of cores on processor dies. This advance has been made possible through miniaturization and effectivization of the underlying semi-conductor technology. As a by-product, however, the resulting computer systems are more vulnerable to interference. READ MORE

  5. 3. Realistic Real-Time Rendering of Global Illumination and Hair through Machine Learning Precomputations

    Author : Roc Ramon Currius; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Neural Networks; Real-time rendering; Lightfields; Realistic Rendering; Global Illumination; Hair Rendering; Machine Learning;

    Abstract : Over the last decade, machine learning has gained a lot of traction in many areas, and with the advent of new GPU models that include acceleration hardware for neural network inference, real-time applications have also started to take advantage of these algorithms. In general, machine learning and neural network methods are not designed to run at the speeds that are required for rendering in high-performance real-time environments, except for very specific and typically limited uses.

  6. 4. QoS Driven Coordinated Management of Resources to Save Energy in Multi-Core Systems

    Author : Mehrzad Nejat; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Re-configurable Core Architecture; Dynamic Voltage-Frequency Scaling DVFS ; Energy Efficiency; Quality-of-Service QoS ; Resource Management; Cache Partitioning;

    Abstract : Reducing the energy consumption of computing systems is a necessary endeavor. However, saving energy should not come at the expense of degrading user experience. To this end, in this thesis, we assume that applications running on multi-core processors are associated with a quality-of-service (QoS) target in terms of performance constraints. READ MORE

  7. 5. Design of Energy-Efficient High-Performance ASIP-DSP Platforms

    Author : Andréas Karlsson; Dake Liu; Andreas Ehliar; Jarmo Takala; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : In the last ten years, limited clock frequency scaling and increasing power density has shifted IC design focus towards parallelism, heterogeneity and energy efficiency. Improving energy efficiency is by no means simple and it calls for a reevaluation of old design choices in processor architecture, and perhaps more importantly, development of new programming methodologies that exploit the features of modern architectures.
