The number of transistors on an integrated circuit keeps doubling every two years. This increasing number of transistors is used to integrate more processing cores on the same chip. However, due to power density and ILP ...
The real-time control systems industry is moving towards the consolidation of multiple computing systems into fewer and more powerful ones, aiming for a reduction in size, weight, and power. The increasing demand for higher ...
Els bucles son la part que més temps consumeix en les aplicacions numèriques. El rendiment dels bucles està limitat tant pels recursos oferts per l'arquitectura com per les recurrències del bucle en la computació. ...
The goal of this thesis is to propose novel and effective techniques to eliminate redundant computations that waste energy and are performed in real-time computer graphics applications, with special focus on mobile GPU ...
La tesi presenta una nova teoria i una metodologia per a la verificació formal de propietats de seguretat en sistemes temporitzats. El correcte funcionament d'aquests sistemes no només depèn d'un conjunt de propietats ...
As high performance computing (HPC) systems continue to grow, their fault rate increases. Applications running on these systems have to deal with rates on the order of hours or days. Furthermore, some studies for future ...
In this thesis, we have investigated the impact of parametric variations on the behaviour of one performance-critical processor structure - embedded memories. As variations manifest as a spread in power and performance, ...
A thorough review of the state of the art will reveal that most VANET applications rely on Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), which uses user certificates managed by a Certification Authority (CA) to handle security. By doing ...
With the increasing power of supercomputers, ever more detailed models of physical systems can be simulated, and ever larger problem sizes can be considered for any kind of numerical system. During the last twenty years ...
In recent years, the advent of new Future Internet (FI) applications is creating ever-demanding requirements. These requirements are pushing network carriers for high transport capacity, energy efficiency, as well as ...
Network interference of nearby jobs has been recently identified as the dominant reason for the high performance variability of parallel applications running on High Performance Computing (HPC) systems. Typically, HPC ...
Distributed Real-Time Media Processing refers to classes of highly distributed, delay no-tolerant applications that account for the majority of the data traffic generated in the world today. Real-Time audio/video conferencing ...
Modern processors use out-of-order processing logic to achieve high performance in Instructions Per Cycle (IPC) but this logic has a serious impact on the achievable frequency. In order to get better performance out of ...
The main goal of the work presented in this thesis is to describe the definition of interoperability mechanisms between rights expression languages and policy languages. Starting from languages interoperability, the intention ...
High Performance Computing (HPC) systems have become widely used tools in many industry areas and research fields. Research to produce more powerful and efficient systems has grown in par with their popularity. As a ...
Los temas de investigación sobre multithreading han ganado mucho interés en la arquitectura de computadores con la aparición de procesadores multihilo y multinucleo. Los procesadores SMT (Simultaneous Multithreading) son ...
All major semiconductor companies are now shipping multi-cores. Phones, PCs, laptops, and mobile internet devices will all require software that can make effective use of these cores. Writing high-performance parallel ...
In the middle of the 2000s a fundamental change of course occurred in computer architecture because techniques such as frequency scaling and instruction level parallelism were providing rapidly diminishing returns. Since ...
Following Moore's Law, the number of transistors on chip has been increasing exponentially, which has led to the increasing complexity of modern processors. As a result, the efficient programming of such systems has become ...
The evolution of computer systems has brought an exponential growth in data volumes, which pushes the capabilities of current storage architectures to organize and access this information effectively: as the unending ...
