Lodder, R.J. (author)The amounts of genetic data that are produced is steadily increasing. New methods to sequence genetic data are invented and existing methods are refined, resulting in the generation of more and larger datasets. To extract useful data from these growing datasets, the algorithms processing them have to support the new and larger datasets. In this...master thesis 2014

Ça?layan, F.H. (author), Heij, R.W. (author), Geers, M. (author)Due to advancing technology, genetic sequencing has become cheaper over the years. This has caused the demand for computational power to grow even faster than Moore's law. To remedy this problem, we analyzed low-cost hardware solutions to parallelize the computational part of the genetic sequencing. We proposed a novel method for calculating the...bachelor thesis 2013

Oikonomidis, I. (author)Energy profiling is a means to effectively understand the power behavior of smartphone applications. However, no tool that effectively combines portability, accuracy and automation has been proposed yet. In this thesis a new approach is proposed, which sets the basis for such a tool by solving a trace synchronization problem. TRAce Merger uses...master thesis 2013

Spliet, R. (author)Traditional (sequential) applications use malloc for a variety of dynamic data structures, like linked lists or trees. GPGPU is gaining attention and popularity because its massively-parallel architecture allows for great speed improvement for programs that can be parallelised and implemented for a platform like OpenCL. Programmers who try to...master thesis 2013

Shankar, A. (author)A clustered architecture is a viable design choice when aiming to increase the performance of a VLIW processor while avoiding the hardware complexity and increased access times associated with a centralized register file. However, this places additional responsibility on the compiler: the production of an efficient cluster assignment. In this...master thesis 2013

Penders, A. (author)Data analysis is a rising field of interest for computer science research due to the growing amount of information that is digitally available. This increase in data has as direct consequence that any analysis is significantly complex. By using structured representations for the data sets, like graphs, the analysis becomes feasible, but is still...master thesis 2012

Al-Hilli, Z.Q.K. (author)Recent trends in studying the brain activity have attracted interest in the simulation of neurons to understand the brain functionality. However, these simulations are computationally intensive and time consuming, which limits this study. High-performance FPGA-based platforms are being utilized to accelerate these simulations. However, the...master thesis 2012

Mastrogiannopoulos, D.P. (author)This thesis aims to improve the Range Trie design on throughput and power consumption. The Range Trie is an SRAM based design that offers competitive performance and is scalable enough to withstand current and future expectations, especially the transition from IPv4 to IPv6. This thesis is exploring the possibilities in partitioning the last and...master thesis 2012

Westen, H.P. (author)The Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD) paradigm promises speedup at relatively low silicon area cost for software that exposes a large amount of loop level parallelism. Automatic simdization–the act of exploiting loop level parallelism by issueing SIMD instructions that operate on multiple data elements at once– remains a daunting task for...master thesis 2012

Slotema, M. (author)Hardware acceleration using recon?gurable devices is a hot research item. To facilitate this acceleration technique, also called recon?gurable computing, tools are being developed that translate High-Level Languages into Hardware Description Languages. DWARV is such a tool developed at Delft University of Technology, translating C into VHDL. The...master thesis 2012

Tamerus, P.D. (author)Cryptographic devices are vulnerable to so-called Side Channel Attacks. As attackers become smarter, hardware designers and chip manufacturers need to keep up with the security demands against these Side Channel Attacks. Side Channel Attacks such as timing analysis, power consumption analysis or electromagnetic analysis, are based upon the...master thesis 2012

Van den Berg, A.F.C. (author)Fault-tolerant On-Board Computer (OBC) software for the Delfi-n3Xt nanosatellite is needed in order to minimize the risk of failures that may occur while the satellite is operating in space. Failures may be OBC specific, but failures that affect the state of the entire satellite and influence the health of the data bus may occur as well. Some...master thesis 2012

Smaragdos, G. (author)Recent trends in transistor technology have dictated the constant reduction of device size. One negative effect stemming from the reduction in size and increased complexity is reduced reliability. This thesis is centered around the matter of fault recovery, in the subject of device fault-tolerance, and graceful system degradation in the presence...master thesis 2012

Michos, A. (author)Transactional memory is a lock-free parallel programming model, which aims at replacing conventional lock-based threaded programming techniques, currently used by multi-core systems. These techniques are difficult to implement and impose unnecessary overheads caused by conservative programming practices. In this thesis, the scalability potential...master thesis 2012

Boomsma, H.B. (author)Dead code is source code that is not necessary for the correct execution of an application. Dead code is a result of software ageing. It is a threat for maintainability and should therefore be removed. Many organizations in the web domain have the problem that their software grows and demands increasingly more effort to maintain, test, check out...master thesis 2012

Mandado, Y. (author)Biometrics is the area of knowledge comprising the methods for unique human recognition, based upon one or more intrinsic physical or behavioural traits. The term has its origin in the ancient Greek language (bios ="life" plus metron ="measure"). Among all the biometric techniques[1], some of them of recent development, fingerprinting has been...master thesis 2012
