Abstract:

The Complex Materials Optics Network comprises active research groups within the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Their main focus is optical materials preparation, characterization, and instrumentation development. The purpose of the project is to develop a computer interface for a Terahertz-source and detector. The interface should consist of a manual and a remote Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) control of the hardware and must display the status of the source and the detector. It must also allow direct changes of the source and detector parameters. The program used f

Abstract:

Energy is a critical resource in all types of computing systems from servers, where energy costs dominate data centre expenses and carbon footprints, to embedded systems, where the system's battery life limits the device's functionality. In their efforts to reduce the energy use of these system's hardware manufacturers have implemented features which allow a reduced energy consumption under software control. This thesis shows that managing these settings is a more complex problem than previously considered. Where much (but not all) of the previous academic research investigates unrealistic sce

Increasing system complexity and stringent time-to-market pressure bring challenges to the design productivity of real-time embedded systems.

SLDL-based Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) modelling and simulation are key methods to understand dynamic scheduling and timing issues in real-time software behavioural simulation during SLD.

Abstract:

In high-speed data acquisition systems where efficient data interrupt handling is the central issue, it is often desirable to off-load the real-time data acquisition tasks to a dedicated front-end processor (FEP), leaving the host to handle only the non-real-time tasks. The front-end processor in such a system setup requires an executive program which must be individually designed to handle the functions dedicated to it. This thesis documents the design and implementation of such a FEP operating system. The FEP hardware module we are concerned with consists of a DCJ-11 microprocessor, 128 Kby

Abstract:

Failing hardware is a fact and trends in microprocessor design indicate that the fraction of hardware suffering from permanent and transient faults will continue to increase in future chip generations. Researchers proposed various solutions to this issue with different downsides: Specialized hardware components make hardware more expensive in production and consume additional energy at runtime. Fault-tolerant algorithms and libraries enforce specific programming models on the developer. Compiler-based fault tolerance requires the source code for all applications to be available for recompilati

Most operating systems provide protection and isolation to user processes, but not to critical system components such as device drivers or other systems code. Consequently, failures in these components often lead to system failures. VirtuOS is an operating system that exploits a new method of decomposition to protect against such failures. VirtuOS exploits virtualization to isolate and protect vertical slices of existing OS kernels in separate service domains. Each service domain represents a partition of an existing kernel, which implements a subset of that kernel's functionality. Service dom
