Preemptive Multitasking on FPGAs
In exploring the efficacy of reconfigurable computing, one of the dimensions is the possibility for multitasking on an FPGA-based processor. Conventional computers and operating systems have demonstrated the many advantages of sharing computational hardware by several tasks over time. The ability to do run-time configuration and readback of FPGAs in a coprocessor architecture enables exploring ...
متن کاملPreemptive Hardware Multitasking in ReconOS
Preemptive hardware multitasking is not supported in most reconfigurable systems-on-chip (rSoCs), which severely limits the scope of hardware scheduling techniques on these platforms. While modern field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) support dynamic partial reconfiguration of any region at any time, most hardware tasks cannot be preempted at arbitrary points in time, because context saving an...
متن کاملTimed Automata Model of Preemptive Multitasking Applications
The aim of this article is to show, how a multitasking application running under a real-time operating system compliant with the OSEK/VDX standard can be modeled by timed automata. The application under consideration consists of several tasks, it includes resource sharing and synchronization by events. For such system, model-checking theory based on timed automata and implemented in model-check...
متن کاملA PC-based Workstation for Robotic Discectomy
This paper describes a PC-based controller for robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery. The development is motivated by the need of reducing the exposure of operating room personnel to X-rays during surgical procedures such as percu-taneous discectomy. The approach taken consists of upgrading the hardware architecture and the control software of a clean-room PUMA 260 manipulator, and by devel...
متن کاملCalibration and optimization of a low cost diffusion chamber for passive separated measurements of radon and thoron in soil by Lexan PC SSNTD
Background: Separate radon and thoron measurements in soil are very important in assessment of internal exposure due to inhalation of such radioactive gases. Materials and Methods: In this study, a low cost, small size, passive diffusion chamber has been developed for simple measurement of Radon-222 and Radon-220(Thoron) gases separately in soil. The diffusion chamber consists of two films and ...
