The issue of SOC testing is one of the most crucial in their design and production process. A popular solution for SOCs including microprocessor cores is based on letting them execute a test program, thus implementing a very attracting BIST solution. This paper describes a method for the generation of effective programs for the self-test of a processor starting from its RT-level description. Th...

This paper presents high-level synthesis problems and solutions specific for low power synthesis. It includes ideas of how to minimize the power consumption by switched capacitance reduction during operation scheduling and resource binding. This process uses switching activity data obtained from simulation of the design at the register transfer level. The novelty of this approach is the use of ...

Noble liquid calorimeters have been successfully used in particle physics experiments for decades. The project presented this article is that of a new noble calorimeter concept, where novel design allows us to fulfil the stringent requirements on calorimetry programme electron-positron Future Circular Collider at CERN. High granularity achieved through specific readout electrodes and high-densi...

The Department of Educational Technology at Saarland University is preparing an interdisciplinary master program for students with either a background in social or computer sciences. In the third semester, I will teach the required class “Programming for Educational Technology.” In that class, students will learn how to design and develop robust, effective, and usable educational technology. Th...
