Verton, Pim (author)
As advances in silicone CMOS technology steadily plateau, new avenues of electronics design must be explored. Graphene Nanoribbons (GNRs) are a potential solution. Current GNR designs require wasteful exhaustive searches for the required device topologies, limiting the size of the solution space that can be searched. This is fine for simple...

Real-time (RT) systems are widespread over different industries, e.g., healthcare, robotics, manufacturing, machine vision, etc. These systems consist of a hardware and software part that execute an RT application. These systems require a bounded and predictable time response on incoming events and execute all input and output (IO) tasks...

This thesis evaluates standard statistical and machine learning models for early fault detection for Valve Regulated Lead-Acid (VRLA) batteries in uninterruptible power supply (UPS) units. Unexpected battery failures in emergency support systems throughout CERN can endanger working personnel. Thus the minimization of downtime of such battery...

FINN is a framework developed by Xilinx Research Labs that compiles Deep Neural Network software descriptions into fast and scalable dataflow architectures for inference acceleration on FPGAs. The dataflow<br/>architectures are network dependent, sized according to the user-defined throughput requirements, and constrained by available resources...

Hejderup, Jacob (author)
Recently, it has become popular to use Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) in embedded and portable devices. The popularity is based on their high accuracy rate in the field of Computer Vision (CV). However, CNNs are computationally intensive due to the convolutional layer, which accounts for over 90% of the operations. To overcome this problem...

Nikolov, Teodor (author)
As CMOS scaling approaches the atomic feature size limit which results in a high power density and current leakage, low reliability and increased time and production cost, the need for new materials and devices is increasing. One of the promising materials to replace silicon based devices is graphene nano-ribbons (GNRs) due to its remarkable...

Brouwer, Daniël (author)
Mechatronic embedded control systems are becoming increasingly sophisticated and computationally demanding. These systems typically consists of multiple controllers, which coordinate the actuators and apply feedback based on data collected by sensors. Often the underlying control strategy is entirely described in a software application, which...

Butala, K.R. (author)
A streaming application like software defined radio (SDR) executed on a heterogeneous multi-processor system on chip (MPSoC) consists of various transceiver jobs that have to be scheduled on different processors concurrently. The hard real time performance requirements of these jobs can be guaranteed on the multi-processor system on chip (MPSoC)...

Khot, A.S. (author)
Over the last decade, the complexity of system-on-chips (SoCs) has continuously increased owing to the increasing demand for high performance IPs and SoCs. However, the productivity of chip designers has not scaled up at the same rate. This has led to an enormous design productivity gap. At the same time, the increasing time-to-market pressure...

Splinter, J. (author)
Graphics on a computer are often handled by a graphics pipeline. Rasterization is an important stage in this pipeline. It converts the basic elements of computer graphics, triangles, into the basic elements of a screen, pixels. This stage is very computation intensive and has a large memory footprint. The last decade a lot of research has been...

Shivanna, V. (author)
The thesis here addresses the topic of image features and how they can be used in object identification. Two state of the art algorithms Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) and Speeded-Up Robust Features (SURF) are studied and their qualities are measured and based on the results of these tests the best algorithm, SURF, is chosen for...

Nguyen, B.T. (author)
Multiprocessor Systems on a Chip (MPSoCs) are suitable platforms for executing complex embedded applications. To reduce the cost of the hardware platform, applications share resources, which may result in inter-application timing interference due to resource request conflicts. Bounding or prohibiting this interference is crucial, as the timing...

RNS can distribute the computation on long operands over small word-width RNS functional units able to operate in parallel. This property is the ground to develop fast arithmetic units. While RNS can boost addition and multiplication performance, other arithmetic operations like division, magnitude comparison, and sign detection are more...

Cucu-Laurenciu, N. (author)
The majority of currently established public-key cryptosystems, e.g., RSA, ECC, requires modular multiplication in finite fields as their core operation. As a result, the throughput rate of such cryptosystem depends upon the speed of modular multiplication and upon the number of performed modular multiplications. Montgomery algorithm is one...

Three-Dimensional (3D) silicon integration is an emerging technology that vertically stacks multiple silicon circuit layers. It enables a single chip to be divided over multiple layers, which are stacked on top of each other. A literature study is performed for this thesis, which presents the basic manufacturing techniques for this emerging...

Future space missions have to rely on advanced, smart and very light payloads in order to explore the solar system within a reasonable cost envelope. For this reason, efforts are made to obtain higher levels of integration that can reduce costs and allow the presence of more and more instruments on board of small spacecrafts. With the advent of...

Investigation on Tile-Based Rasterization on Mobile Devices. External traffic on mobile devices is a major part of power consumption. We start with a critical evaluation of previous work on Tile-Based Rasterization where software was used to reduce external traffic. The added software is now killing the performance of the microprocessor. We...

In this thesis, the implementations of Single Electron Tunneling (SET) circuits for Brownian Motion Based Logic and Arithmetic Computation were investigated. Random fluctuations and noise are major factors interfering with the operation of nanometer scale electronic devices and circuits, as the feature size decreases. In SET technology, one of...

Kuiper, B. (author)
With the advance of fabrication technology into the deep sub-micron era process parameter variations, temperature, and voltage fluctuations start to induce large variations into the delay of integrated circuits. The smaller the feature size the larger the variations become, and thus also their influence on the critical path delay of a logic...
