چکیده

In this paper we present our initial prototypical explorations as well as the associated transformative design concept called KaleidogamiTM. This method is used for developing spatial objects that can be flattened, folded and reconfigured. We develop the metaphor and concept for a basic structural unit (BSU) such as using tetrahedral, cuboidal, prismatic, and pyramidal units to enable new forms of 3D folding. The fabrication is done using a single flat sheet of foldable substrate in 2D. We explore the diversity of structural polyhedral sculptures and movable constructs in a hierarchical architecture. More artistic constructions are contextualized with a Kaleido-Tangram like integration.

The First Real Operating System for Reconfigurable Computers

Traditional reconfigurable computing platforms are designed to be single user and have been acknowledged to be difficult to design applications for. The design tools are still primitive and as reconfigurable computing becomes mainstream the development of new design tools and run time environments is essential. As the number of system gates is reaching 10 million on current FPGAs, there is an i...

Multi-Domain WDM Network Structures for Large-Scale Reconfigurable Partitionable Parallel Computer Architecture

Multi-domain wavelength-division multiplexing (M-WDM) is proposed as a generalization of single star-coupled WDM networks. The objective is to provide scalable interconnection schemes for different parallel computer architectures that utilize the multi-channel and tunability characteristics of photonic network devices, given their existing limitations. Device tunability results in reconfigurabl...

Reconfigurable Security Architecture for Embedded Systems

Embedded systems present significant security challenges due to their limited resources and power constraints. We propose a novel security architecture for embedded systems (SANES) that leverages the capabilities of reconfigurable hardware to provide efficient and flexible architectural support to both security standards and a range of attacks. This paper shows the efficiency of reconfigurable ...
