Accelerating the Requirement Space Exploration through Coarse-Grained Parallel Execution

The design and analysis of complex systems need to determine suitable configurations for meeting requirement constraints. The Monotonic Indices Space (MIS) method is a useful approach for monotonic requirement space exploration. However, the method is highly time and memory-Consuming. Aiming to the problem of low efficiency of sequential MIS method, this paper introduces a coarse-grained parall...

Magellan: A Framework for Fast Multi-core Design Space Exploration and Optimization Using Search and Machine Learning

As multi-core processor architectures with tens or even hundreds of cores, not all of them necessarily identical, become common, the current processor design methodology, that relies on large-scale simulations, is not going to scale well because of the number of possibilities to be considered. We need intelligent/efficient techniques to navigate through the processor design space. In this paper...

Accelerating Magnetic Resonance Imaging through Compressed Sensing Theory in the Direction space-k

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a noninvasive imaging method widely used in medical diagnosis. Data in MRI are obtained line-by-line within the K-space, where there are usually a great number of such lines. For this reason, magnetic resonance imaging is slow. MRI can be accelerated through several methods such as parallel imaging and compressed sensing, where a fraction of the K-space lines...

HW/SW Co-design for Accelerating Public-Key Cryptosystems over GF(p) on the 8051 μ-controller

Implementing large word-length public key algorithms on small 8-bit μ-controllers is a challenge. This paper presents a hardware/software co-design solution of RSA and Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) over GF(p) on a 12 MHz 8-bit 8051 μ-controller. The hardware coprocessor has a modular arithmetic logic unit (MALU) of which the digit size (d) is variable. It can be adapted to the speed and ban...
