Dynamic Sensor-Frontend Tuning for Resource Efficient Embedded Classification

Static Resource Models for Code-size Efficient Embedded Processors Static Resource Models for Code-size Efficient Embedded Processors / Static Resource Models for Code-size Efficient Embedded Processors

Due to an increasing need for flexibility, embedded systems embody more and more programmable processors as their core components. Because of silicon area and power considerations, the corresponding instruction sets are often highly encoded to minimize code size for given performance requirements. This has hampered the development of robust optimizing compilers because the resulting irregular i...

Efficient Dynamic Resource Description

Efficient resource allocation is an important aspect in overall distributed system performance and especially in the provisioning of QoS guarantees. In order to achieve efficient resource allocation an accurate, efficient and timely resource description mechanism is required. This report presents the Resource Description Graph (RDG) as a means of encoding resource descriptions in a directed acy...

Dynamic Resource Discovery for Sensor Networks

As sensor networks mature the current generation of sensor networks that are application-specific and exposed only to a limited set of users will give way to heterogeneous sensor networks that are used dynamically by users that need them. The available sensors are likely to be dynamic (e.g., due to mobility) and heterogeneous in terms of their capabilities and software elements. They may provid...

Embedded Calibration of Integrated RF Frontend Blocks

Parameter variability due to process, voltage, and temperature variations (PVT) in the contemporary submicron CMOS chips makes RF circuit design risky unless proper calibration procedures are applied. They usually require careful on-chip measurements by RF sensors that can be used to compensate for the possible impairments in specs such as gain or gain mismatch which is critical e.g. in IQ setu...
