Security-critical communications devices must be evaluated to the highest possible standards before they can be deployed. This process includes tracing potential information flow through the device's electronic circuitry, for each of the device's ...

Dynamic binary translation (DBT) can provide security, virtualization, resource management and other desirable services to embedded systems. Although DBT has many benefits, its run-time performance overhead can be relatively high. The run-time overhead ...

Multicores are becoming ubiquitous, not only in general-purpose but also embedded computing. This trend is a reflexion of contemporary embedded applications posing steadily increasing demands in processing power. On such platforms, prediction of timing ...

Most programming languages support a call stack in the programming model and also in the runtime system.We show that for applications targeting low-power embedded microcontrollers (MCUs), RAM usage can be significantly decreased by partially or ...

Register file (RF) is extremely vulnerable to soft errors, and traditional redundancy based schemes to protect the RF are prohibitive not only because RF is often in the timing critical path of the processor, but also since it is one of the hottest ...

In high-end embedded systems, coarse-grained reconfigurable architectures (CGRA) continue to replace traditional ASIC designs. CGRAs offer high performance at a low power consumption, yet provide flexibility through programmability. In this paper we ...

This paper addresses the problem of designing and implementing complex control systems for real-time embedded software. Typical applications involve different control laws corresponding to different phases or modes, e.g., take-off, full flight and ...
