Heterogeneous reconfigurable systems provide drastically higher performance and lower
power consumption than traditional CPU-centric systems. Moreover, they do it at much lower …

For a design to survive unforeseen physical effects like aging, temperature variation, and/or
emergence of new application standards, adaptability needs to be supported. Adaptability …

The extension of a given instruction-set with specialized instructions has become a common
technique used to speed up the execution of applications. By identifying computationally …

Over the last years, we have witnessed the increased use of Application-Specific Instruction-
Set Processors (ASIPs). These ASIPs are processors that have a customizable instruction …

Cryptographic devices are vulnerable to fault injection attacks. All previous
countermeasures against fault injection attacks based on error detecting codes assume that …

In this book we give an overview of modeling techniques used to describe computer systems
to mathematical optimization tools. We give a brief introduction to various classes of …

The rapid advancements and stringent requirements of modern embedded computing
systems have led to a surge in the demand for customized processors that can efficiently …

Like most doctoral students, I started my studies by reviewing the existing, most prominent
approaches in the field. A couple of months later I thought I had acquired a sufficient …

Design tools for application specific instruction set processors (ASIPs) are an important
discipline in systems-level design for wireless communications and other embedded …

This paper proposes a novel algorithm that, given a data-flow graph and an input/output
constraint, enumerates all convex subgraphs under the given constraint in polynomial time …
