1. From Machine Arithmetic to Approximations and back again : Improved SMT Methods for Numeric Data Types
Sammanfattning : Safety-critical systems, especially those found in avionics and automotive industries, rely on machine arithmetic to perform their tasks: integer arithmetic, fixed-point arithmetic or floating-point arithmetic (FPA). Machine arithmetic exhibits subtle differences in behavior compared to the ideal mathematical arithmetic, due to fixed-size representation in memory. LÄS MER
2. Performance and Energy Efficient Building Blocks for Network-on-Chip Architectures
Sammanfattning : The ever shrinking size of the MOS transistors brings the promise of scalable Network-on-Chip (NoC) architectures containing hundreds of processing elements with on-chip communication, all integrated into a single die. Such a computational fabric will provide high levels of performance in an energy efficient manner. LÄS MER
3. Approximations and abstractions for reasoning about machine arithmetic
Sammanfattning : Safety-critical systems rely on various forms of machine arithmetic to perform their tasks: integer arithmetic, fixed-point arithmetic or floating-point arithmetic. The problem with machine arithmetic is that it can exhibit subtle differences in behavior compared to the ideal mathematical arithmetic, due to fixed-size representation in memory. LÄS MER
4. Quantifiers and Theories : A Lazy Approach
Sammanfattning : In this thesis we study Automated Theorem Proving (ATP) as well as Satisfiability Modulo Theories (SMT) and present lazy strategies for improving reasoning within these areas. A lazy strategy works by simplifying a problem, and gradually refines the abstraction only when necessary. LÄS MER
5. Aspects of system-on-chip design for FPGAs
Sammanfattning : Due to the increasing NRE costs of recent ASICs, the use of FPGAs is expected to continue to increase. While the first FPGAs were limited devices useful mainly for glue logic, todays FPGAs are highly capable devices used in many different application areas including telecommunication, multimedia, medical, and automotive.
