Developing modern integrated and embedded systems require well-designed processes to ensure flexibility and independency. These features are related to exchangeability of hardware targets and to the ability of choosing the target at a very late stage in the implementation process. Especially in the field of ultra high frequency radio frequency identification (UHF RFID) the model-based design approach leads to expected results. Beside a clear design process, which is applied in this work to build the required system architecture, the scope for UHF RFID simulations is defined and an extendable platform based on the MathWorks Matlab Simulinkreg is developed. This simulation platform, based on a multi-processor hardware target, using a Texas Instruments TMS320C6416 digital signal processor is able to run UHF RFID tag simulations of very high complexity. The highest effort is made to ensure flexibility to handle future simulation models on the same hardware target, realized by the continuous design and implementation flow of this platform based on model-based design

This paper describes the creation of custom floating point units (FPUs) for application specific instruction set processors (ASIPs). ASIPs allow the customization of processors for use in embedded systems by extending the instruction set, which enhances the performance of an application or a class of applications. These extended instructions are manifested as separate hardware blocks, making the creation of any necessary floating point instructions quite unwieldy. On the other hand, using a predefined FPU includes a large monolithic hardware block with considerable number of unused instructions. A customized FPU will overcome these drawbacks, yet the manual creation of one is a time consuming, error prone process. This paper presents a methodology for automatically generating floating-point units (FPUs) that are customized for specific applications at the instruction level. Generated FPUs comply with the IEEE754 standard, which is an advantage over FP format customization. Custom FPUs were generated for several Mediabench applications. Area savings over a fully-featured FPU without resource sharing of 26%-80% without resource sharing and 33%-87% with resource sharing, were obtained. Clock period increased in some cases by up to 9.5% due to resource sharing

The authors introduce a simple ad-hoc routing scheme that operates in the true spirit of ad-hoc networking, i.e., in a modeless fashion, without neighborhood discovery or explicit point-to-point forwarding, while offering a high (and tunable) degree of reliability, fault-tolerance and robustness. Being aimed at truly tiny devices (e.g., with 1KB of RAM), the scheme can automatically take advantage of extra memory resources to improve the quality of routes for critical nodes. In contrast to some popular low-cost solutions, like ZigBeetrade the approach involves a single node type and exhibits lower resource requirements. The presented scheme has been verified in an industrial deployment with stringent quality of service requirements

We present a compilation technique that targets realtime applications running on embedded processors with combined dynamic voltage scaling (DVS) and adaptive body biasing (ABB) capabilities. Considering the delay and energy penalty of switching between operating modes of the processor, our compiler judiciously inserts mode switch instructions in selected locations of the code and generates executable binary that is guaranteed to meet the deadline constraint. More importantly, our algorithm runs very fast and comes reasonably close to the theoretical limit of energy optimization using DVS+ABB. At 65 nm technology, we improve the energy dissipation of the generated code by an average of11.4% under deadline constraints. While our technique's improvement in energy dissipation over conventional DVS is marginal (3%) at 130nm, the average improvement continues to grow to 4.7%, 8.8% and 15.4% for 90nm, 65nm and 45nm technology nodes, respectively. Compared to a recent ILP-based competitor, we improve the runtime by more than three orders of magnitude, while producing improved results

This paper presents an analysis of the electrical origins of slow write driver faults (SWDFs) (van de Goor et al., 2004) that may affect SRAM write drivers in 65nm technology. This type of fault is the consequence of resistive-open defects in the control part of the write driver. It involves an erroneous write operation when the same write driver performs two successive write operations with opposite data values. In the first part of the paper, we present the SWDF electrical phenomena and their consequences on the SRAM functioning. Next, we show how SWDFs can be sensitized and observed and how a standard March test is able to detect this type of fault

HW-SW interoperability by means of standard distributed object middlewares has been proved to be useful in the design of new and challenging applications for ubiquitous computing, and ambient intelligence environments. Wireless sensor networks are considered to be essential for the proper deployment of these applications, but they impose new constraints in the design of the corresponding communication infrastructure: low-cost middleware implementations that can fit into tiny wireless devices are needed. In this paper, a novel approach for the development of pervasive environments based on an ultra low-cost implementation of standard distributed object middlewares (such as CORBA or ICE) is presented. A fully functional prototype supporting full interoperability with ZeroC ICE is described in detail. Available implementations range from the smallest microcontrollers in the market, to the tiniest embedded Java virtual machines, and even a low-end FPGA

Application-specific customization of the instruction set helps embedded processors achieve significant performance and power efficiency. In this paper, we explore customization in the context of multi-tasking real-time embedded systems. We propose efficient algorithms to select the optimal set of custom instructions for a task set under two popular real-time scheduling policies. Our algorithms minimize the processor utilization through customization while satisfying the task deadlines and the constraint on silicon area. Experimental evaluation with various task sets shows that appropriate customization can achieve significant reduction in the processor utilization and the energy consumption

Software implementations of modern block ciphers often require large lookup tables along with code size increasing optimizations like loop unrolling to reach peak performance on general-purpose processors. Therefore, block ciphers are difficult to implement efficiently on embedded devices like cell phones or sensor nodes where run-time memory and program ROM are scarce resources. In this paper, the performance, energy consumption, runtime memory requirements, and code size of the five block ciphers RC6, Rijndael, Serpent, Twofish, and XTEA on the StrongARM SA-1100 processor was analyzed and compared. Most previous evaluations of block ciphers considered performance as the sole metric of interest and did not care about memory requirements or code size. In contrast to previous work, this study of the performance and energy characteristics of block ciphers has been conducted with "lightweight" implementations which restrict the size of lookup tables to 1 kB and also impose constraints on the code size. The author found that Rijndael and RC6 can be well optimized for high performance and energy efficiency, while at the same time meeting the demand for low memory (RAM and ROM) footprint. In addition, the impact of key expansion and modes of operation on the overall performance and energy consumption of each block cipher was discussed. Simulation results show that RC6 is the most energy-efficient block cipher under memory constraints and thus the best choice for resource-restricted devices

When modern partially and dynamically reconfigurable FPGAs are to be used as resources in hard real-time systems, the two dimensions area and time have to be considered in the focus of availability and deadlines. In particular, area requirements must be guaranteed for the tasks' duration. While execution environments that abstract the space demand of tasks exist and methods for occupancy of resources over time are discussed in the literature, few works focus on another fundamental bottleneck, the reconfiguration port. As all resource requests are served by this mutually exclusive device, profound concepts for scheduling the port access are vital requirements for FPGA realtime scheduling. Nevertheless, as the port must be accessed sequentially, we can inherit and apply monoprocessor scheduling concepts that are well researched. In this paper, we introduce monoprocessor scheduling algorithms for the reconfiguration port of FPGAs
