1. A WCET Analysis Method for Pipelined Microprocessors with Cache Memories
Abstract : When constructing real-time systems, safe and tight estimations of the worst case execution time (WCET) of programs are needed. To obtain tight estimations, a common approach is to do path and timing analyses. READ MORE

2. On Impact and Tolerance of Data Errors with Varied Duration in Microprocessors
Abstract : The evolution of high-performance and low-cost microprocessors has led to their almost pervasive usage in embedded systems such as automotive electronics, smart gadgets, communication devices, etc. These mass-market products, when deployed in safety-critical systems, require safe services albeit at low recurring costs.

3. Fault Injection for Studying Error Behavior and Validation of Error Detecting Mechanisms
Abstract : This thesis deals with the design and validation of low-cost error detecting mechanisms that can be used to implement self-checking computers. The research objectives of the thesis are three-fold: (i) to investigate and develop a simulation-based fault injection technique that can be used on a wide range of VHDL simulation models, (ii) to investigate error propagation mechanisms in microprocessors in order to understand how to design low-cost error detecting mechanisms and (iii) to design and validate error detecting mechanisms.

4. Profiling Methods for Memory Centric Software Performance Analysis
Abstract : To reduce latency and increase bandwidth to memory, modern microprocessors are often designed with deep memory hierarchies including several levels of caches. For such microprocessors, both the latency and the bandwidth to off-chip memory are typically about two orders of magnitude worse than the latency and bandwidth to the fastest on-chip cache.

5. Efficient methods for application performance analysis
Abstract : To reduce latency and increase bandwidth to memory, modern microprocessors are designed with deep memory hierarchies including several levels of caches. For such microprocessors, the service time for fetching data from off-chip memory is about two orders of magnitude longer than fetching data from the level-one cache. READ MORE
