  • Development and evaluation of X32V

    Creator:
    Hong, Jumnit
    Abstract:
    Embedded processors are utilized in many applications with considerable time spent developing and maintaining functionality and performance. Performance being a key factor in adding features such as video and audio to a product. Configurable processors, such as X32V, allow the addition of functionality and performance without large increases in design...

  • The dynamic speculation and performance prediction of parallel loops

    Creator:
    Zier, David A.
    Abstract:
    General purpose computer systems have seen increased performance potential through the parallel processing capabilities of multicore processors. Yet this potential performance can only be attained through parallel applications, thus forcing software developers to rethink how everyday applications are designed. The most readily form of Thread Level Parallelism (TLP) within any...

  • Investigating new design alternatives for a radix-2 modular multiplier kernal and I/O subsystem

    Creator:
    Chaitheerayanon, Akekalak
    Abstract:
    A main arithmetic operation for cryptographic systems is modular exponenti- ation. Exponentiation is computed by a long sequence of modular multiplications. Modular multiplication can be implemented in a general-purpose processor or a dedicated hardware, but dedicated hardware tends to be faster than a processor. Modular multiplication is a time-consuming operation,...

  • Single-level dynamic register caching architecture for high-performance superscalar processors

    Creator:
    Liebert, John A.
    Abstract:
    The amount of instruction level parallelism (ILP) that can be exploited depends greatly on the size of the instruction window and the number of in-flight instructions the processor can support. However, this requires a register file with a large set of physical registers for renaming and multiple ports to provide...

  • Optimizing the advanced encryption standard on Intel's SIMD architecture

    Creator:
    Godbole, Pankaj
    Abstract:
    The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is the new standard for cryptography and has gained wide support as a means to secure digital data. Hence, it is beneficial to develop an implementation of AES that has a high throughput. SIMD technology is very effective in increasing the performance of some cryptographic...

  • Fast data replenishment in peer to peer networks

    Creator:
    Dhamodaran, Arul Nambi
    Abstract:
    Peer-to-Peer (P2P) based distributed storage systems have gain much popularity in recent years. These systems rely greatly on the data redundancy to be robust under network dynamics, i.e., the dynamics of peer entering and departing the network. Hence, it is important to implement mechanisms for maintaining a certain level of...

  • Modeling and dynamics analysis of P2P networks based on evolutionary games

    Creator:
    Cho, Seungyun
    Abstract:
    Since free riders in P2P network reduce the system's performance, how to maintain and encourage the nodes' cooperation is an important aspect of P2P related research. In this thesis, a P2P system is modeled based on two games: stag hunt game and snowdrift game. To relate the model to the...

  • Optimizing performance/watt of embedded SIMD multiprocessors through a priori application guided power scheduling

    Creator:
    Albright, Ryan K.
    Abstract:
    A method for improving performance/watt of an embedded single-instruction multiple-data (SIMD) architecture using application-guided a priori scheduling of hardware resources is presented. A multi-core architectural simulator is adopted that accurately estimates power, performance, and utilization of various processor components (logic, interconnect and memory). A greedy search is then performed on...

  • Porting GCC to X32V architecture

    Creator:
    Venkatachalapathy, Savithri H.
    Abstract:
    This thesis work evaluates the need for a re-configurable cross compiler for the X32V processor architecture and discusses the process of developing a cross compiler for X32V. X32V is a new processor intended at the embedded applications domain whose instruction set is designed based on the widely used MIPS processor....

  • Node and topology management for content distribution in source constraint networks

    Creator:
    Kolazhi, Krishnan
    Abstract:
    As broadband Internet becomes widely available, Peer-to-Peer (P2P) applications over the Internet are becoming increasingly popular. Such an example is a video multicast application in which, one source streams a video to a large number of destination nodes through an overlay multicast tree consisting of peers. These overlay multicast-based applications,...
