Enabling Dynamic Communication for Runtime Circuit Relocation

A New Circuit Scheme for Wide Dynamic Circuits

In this paper, a new circuit scheme is proposed to reduce the power consumption of dynamic circuits. In the proposed circuit, an NMOS keeper transistor is used to maintain the voltage level in the output node against charge sharing, leakage current and noise sources. Using the proposed keeper scheme, the voltage swing on the dynamic node is lowered to reduce the power consumption of wide fan-in...

Rethinking of the Antenna-circuit Boundary for Enabling Millimeter-wave Full-duplex Wireless Communication

This report addresses the research progress towards enabling millimeter-wave full-duplex wireless communication. Millimeter-wave technology has gained significant interest for short-range wireless personal area networks (WPANs), vehicular radar and next generation (5G) cellular communication in the recent years. Full-duplex is another emergent technology which can theoretically double the data ...

A Runtime Middleware Environment for Enabling Multi-platform Accessibility

Assistive Technologies devices and systems aim to improve the quality of life of people with disabilities by providing a wide range of assistive services. The AsTeRICS framework provides a Runtime Environment and a toolset that can be highly adapted to the changing needs of each individual and targets to reduce time, effort and costs of developing assistive applications. A key limitation of the...

A Semantic Checkpoint Framework for Enabling Runtime-reconfigurable Applications

A Semantic Checkpointing Framework for Enabling Runtime-reconfigurable Applications

This thesis proposes to enable runtime-reconfigurable applications through the use of semantic checkpointing. We view applications here as a collection of inter-connected components, and reconfigurations as the reconstitution of components that make up an application. By checkpointing only values that are deemed to be of semantic significance, application state is maintained across reconfigurat...
