Mechanical Engineering", funded from 2002 to 2013 by the German Research Foundation …

With the proliferation of multi-core systems in the last decade or so even the personal
computers have acquired the capability of supporting parallel programs. However, most …

A dynamically reconfigurable on-chip multiprocessor architecture is presented, which can be
adapted to changing application demands and to faults detected at run-time. The scalable …

Reconfigurable architectures are being increasingly used for their flexibility and extensive
parallelism to achieve accelerations for computationally intensive applications. Although …

In multiprocessors, performance improvement is typically achieved by exploring parallelism
with fixed granularities, such as instruction-level, task-level, or data-level parallelism. We …

Parallelism and adaptability are two distinct architectural design considerations in
embedded processors. Multicore processors accelerate application execution on account of …

To meet application-specific performance demands, architectures are predominantly
redesigned and customised. Every architectural change results in huge overheads in …

Reconfigurable computing systems can change the functionality and structure of their
components in order to improve the resource efficiency. Many existing architectures [73, 38] …

After the domain-spanning conceptual design, engineers from different domains work in
parallel and apply their domain-specific methods and modeling languages to design the …

High performance requirements often necessitate redesigns for every new application,
resulting in long time-tomarket. Every architectural change involves costs in terms of …
