This paper describes a semi-dynamic CMOS flip-flop family featuring embedded Threshold Logic functions. First, we describe the new Threshold Logic flipflop concept and circuit operation. Second, we present the concepts of embedded Threshold logic and run-time reprogrammability. Finally, it is proved by Spice simulation results that wide (up to 8 inputs) AND/OR Boolean functions can be embedded ...

This paper introduces a few research studies being conducted that are using multicore embedded systems, highlighting the challenges and questions relevant to R&D (Research and Development) in computer systems architecture, focusing on design aspects and optimization of embedded systems that needs to run security solutions or cryptographical algorithms using hardware acceleration, aiming for goo...

The embedded system has less fast CPU and lower memory than PC(Personal Computer) or Workstation system. Therefore, the embedded operating system is designed to efficiently use the limited resource in the system. Virtual memory management of the embedded Linux have a low efficiency when page fault is occurred to get a data from I/O device. Because a data is moving from the swap device to the ma...

The POSIX API is suitable for a wide range of embedded systems development. Unfortunately, the UNIX heritage of POSIX has generated the impression that a POSIX operating system is too large and burdened with too much overhead to be suitable for small, ROM-based, embedded realtime systems. This paper explores how the microkernel architecture of the QNX operating system allows for a POSIX environ...

This paper surveys the design of embedded computer systems, which use software running on programmable computers to implement system functions. Creating an embedded computer system which meets its performance, cost, and design time goals is a hardware-software co-design p r o b l e w h e design of the hardware and software components influence each other. This paper emphasizes a historical appr...

The simultaneous localisation and mapping (SLAM) algorithm has drawn increasing interests in autonomous robotic systems. However, SLAM has not been widely explored in embedded system design spaces yet due to the limitation of processing recourses in embedded systems. Especially when landmarks are not identifiable, the amount of computer processing will dramatically increase due to unknown data ...

Title of Thesis: NANORPOCESSORS: HARDWARE ACCELERATORS FOR EMBEDDED SYSTEMS Lei Zong, Master of Science, 2003 Thesis directed by: Professor Bruce L. Jacob Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Today’s consumer market is driven by technology innovations. Many technologies that were not available a few years ago are quickly being adopted into common use. Equipment for these services r...

Nowadays, model-based development is a common method to deal with the complexity and wide rages of functionality in embedded systems. Especially in automotive domain MATLAB/Simulink is often used to develop controller software for embedded systems. However the usually used tools are originally not designed to model a product-line of embedded systems applications. Therefore there is a high compl...

NURBS are used mainly to represent 3D models, being included in standards like OpenGL (Phigs) and used in computer graphics and manufacturing systems, representing adequately, in a compact way, almost any shape. For this sake, NURBS algorithms are implemented in graphical processing units (GPUs) hardware, but its rigid processing architecture and power consumption makes it inadequate in embedde...
