The Dimension of the Body in Higher Education: Matrix of Meanings in Students’ Diaries

Simon Nessim Henein, Ramiro Tau

In this paper, we attempt to show some consequences of bringing the body back into higher education, through the use of performing arts in the curricular context of scientific programs. We start by arguing that dominant traditions in higher education repro ...

Pipeline Synthesis and Optimization from Branched Feedback Dataflow Programs

Marco Mattavelli, Endri Bezati, Simone Casale Brunet, Anatoly Prihozhy

Large dataflow designs are a result of behavioral specification of modern complex digital systems and/or a result of unfolding and transforming looped and branched programs. Since deep-submicron silicon technology provides large amounts of available resour ...

SoK: Shining Light on Shadow Stacks

Mathias Josef Payer

Control-Flow Hijacking attacks are the dominant attack vector against C/C++ programs. Control-Flow Integrity (CFI) solutions mitigate these attacks on the forward edge, i.e., indirect calls through function pointers and virtual calls. Protecting the backwa ...

Linebacker: Preserving Victim Cache Lines in Idle Register Files of GPUs

Yunho Oh

Modern GPUs suffer from cache contention due to the limited cache size that is shared across tens of concurrently running warps. To increase the per-warp cache size prior techniques proposed warp throttling which limits the number of active warps. Warp thr ...

A Fast, Reliable and Wide-voltage-range In-memory Computing Architecture

David Atienza Alonso, Marina Zapater Sancho, Alexandre Sébastien Julien Levisse, William Andrew Simon

In-Memory Computing (IMC) solutions, and particularly bitline computing in SRAM, appear promising as they mitigate one of the most energy consuming aspects in computation: data movement. In this work we propose a fast (2.4Ghz for bitwise operations and 2.4 ...

Design of approximate and precision-scalable circuits for embedded multimedia and neural-network processing

Vincent Frédéric Camus

Density, speed and energy efficiency of integrated circuits have been increasing exponentially for the last four decades following Moore's law. However, power and reliability pose several challenges to the future of technology scaling. Approximate computin ...

LTRF: Enabling High-Capacity Register Files for GPUs via Hardware/Software Cooperative Register Prefetching

Babak Falsafi, Mario Paulo Drumond Lages De Oliveira, Hamid Sarbazi-Azad

Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) employ large register files to accommodate all active threads and accelerate context switching. Unfortunately, register files are a scalability bottleneck for future GPUs due to long access latency, high power consumption, ...

Efficient Dynamic Optimisation Heuristics for Dataflow Pipelines

Marco Mattavelli, Endri Bezati, Simone Casale Brunet, Anatoly Prihozhy

Large dataflow designs appear as a result of functional specification of modern complex digital systems and/ or a result of unfolding and behavioral transformation of looped and branched programs. Since deep-submicron silicon technology provides large amou ...

RRAM Crossbar Arrays for Storage Class Memory Applications : Throughput and Density Considerations

Alexandre Sébastien Julien Levisse

As more and more high density memories are required to satisfy the Internet of Things ecosystem, academics and industrials are looking for an intermediate solution to fill the gap between DRAM and Flash NAND in the memory hierarchy. The emergence of Resist ...

Simplifying Development and Management of Software-Defined Networks

Peter Peresini

Computer networks are an important part of our life. Yet, they are traditionally hard to manage and operate. The recent shift to Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is promised to change the way in which the networks are run by their operators. However, SDN ...

III-V Nanowire Hetero-junction Tunnel FETs integrated on Si

Davide Cutaia

In the last decade the power consumption of electronic devices has increased for both static and active components. Following the Dennard's scaling rule, as long as the transistor sizes are reduced then the supply voltage (VDD) can also be scaled in order ...

Synthesis and Optimization of Pipelines for HW Implementations of Dataflow Programs

Marco Mattavelli, Endri Bezati, Ab Al Hadi Bin Ab Rahman, Anatoly Prihozhy

This paper introduces a new methodology for pipeline synthesis with applications to data flow high-level system design. The pipeline synthesis is applied to dataflow programs whose operators are translated into graphs and dependencies relations that are th ...

Robust 3D Tracking with Descriptor Fields

Vincent Lepetit, Alberto Crivellaro

We introduce a method that can register challenging images from specular and poorly textured 3D environments, on which previous approaches fail. We assume that a small set of reference images of the environment and a partial 3D model are available. Like pr ...

Energy/Reliability Trade-Offs in Low-Voltage ReRAM-Based Non-Volatile Flip-Flop Design

Giovanni De Micheli, Yusuf Leblebici, Andreas Peter Burg, Pierre-Emmanuel Julien Marc Gaillardon, Davide Sacchetto, Pascal Andreas Meinerzhagen

The total power budget of Ultra-Low Power (ULP) VLSI Systems-on-Chip (SoCs) is often dominated by the leakage power of embedded memories as well as status registers. On the one hand, supply voltage scaling down to the near-threshold (near-VT
