van der Vlag, Michiel (author)Current brain simulators do no scale linearly to realistic problem sizes (e.g. >100,000 neurons), which makes them impractical for researchers. The goal of the thesis is to explore the use of true multi-GPU acceleration on computationally challenging brain models and to assess the scalability of such models given sufficient access to multi...master thesis 2019

Hatfield, Lizzy (author)If a practical quantum computer is to be built, it will not only need quantum programming languages and qubits, but hardware-software interfaces as well. These interfaces, also known as computer (micro)architectures are the key to creating a ’quantum stack’, where a programmer can directly execute programs onto quantum hardware. A functional...master thesis 2018

Sigurbergsson, Bjorn (author)The trend of computing faster and more efficiently has been a driver for the computing industry since its beginning. However, it is increasingly difficult to continue this trend because current CMOS technology cannot be down-scaled anymore due to physical restrictions. Consequently, to obtain the next major performance improvement, the focus is...master thesis 2018

Qi, Jinzi (author)Nowadays, indoor ranging and localization have become necessary in daily life. Due to the multi-path propagation and noise in the indoor environment, phase domain ranging method using multi-frequency has been proposed which achieves accurate estimation of indoor target. However, as the indoor communication is usually carried on Bluetooth Low...master thesis 2018

Malagi, Santosh (author)Due to their large number of high-precision, defect-prone manufacturing steps, integrated circuits (ICs) are susceptible to manufacturing defects and hence need to undergo electrical tests to weed out the defective parts and guarantee sufficient outgoing product quality to the customer. A key step in test development for digital logic ICs is...master thesis 2018

Guledal Lakshamana, Prashanth (author)Processor architecture is continuously evolving. As the trend predicted by Moore's law is nearing its end, the focus of designing processors has shifted from high-frequency single-core systems to the medium frequency multicore system to a relatively lower frequency many-cores system, in the hope of extracting more performance while keeping power...master thesis 2018

Hes, Robin (author)This thesis explores the use of machine learning techniques in an effort to increase insurer competitiveness. It asks whether it is possible to accurately estimate the expected financial loss of a given insurance contract and how this information can be used to gain a competitive edge in the business. To answer these questions, some basic...master thesis 2018

Fregnan, Enrico (author)Code review has been proved to be an extremely important practice to ensure softwarequality. In recent years, the trend has moved towards modern code review, a lightweight and less strict paradigm. Despite its many advantages, this approach still has room for further improvement, especially in the area of cognitive support for reviewers.<br/...master thesis 2018

Aljuffri, Abdullah (author)The international community firmly recognizes cyber-attacks as a serious fear that could endanger the global economy. The Global Risks 2015 report, published by the World Economic Forum, included this rather strong warning: “90 percent of companies worldwide recognize that they are insufficiently prepared to protect themselves against cyber...master thesis 2018

Mulder, Y.T.B. (author)A new class of accelerator interfaces has signi cant implications on system architecture. An order of magnitude more bandwidth forces us to reconsider FPGA design. OpenCAPI is a new interconnect standard that enables attaching FPGAs coherently to a high-bandwidth, low- latency interface. Keeping up with this bandwidth poses new challenges for...master thesis 2018

Leliveld, Dorus (author)A framework is introduced for computations with transformations on immutable data. Inspiration is taken from Apache Spark, however the model of computation is generalized from an emphasis on narrow and wide dependencies, to an arbitrary set of transformations that form a directed acyclic graph (DAG). A distributed scheduling algorithm is...master thesis 2017
