In this work, we compare the resulting performance of two design concepts that in different ways promise such increased productivity. As common starting point, we employ a kernel-centric design approach, where computational hotspots in an application are identified and individually accelerated on FPGA. By means of a complex stereo matching application, we evaluate two fundamentally different design philosophies and approaches for implementing the required kernels on FPGAs. In the first implementation approach, we designed individually specialized data flow kernels in a spatial programming language for a Maxeler FPGA platform; in the alternative design approach, we target a vector coprocessor with large vector lengths, which is implemented as a form of programmable overlay on the application FPGAs of a Convey HC-1. We assess both approaches in terms of overall system performance, raw kernel performance, and performance relative to invested resources. After compensating for the effects of the underlying hardware platforms, the specialized dataflow kernels on the Maxeler platform are around 3x faster than kernels executing on the Convey vector coprocessor. In our concrete scenario, due to trade-offs between reconfiguration overheads and exposed parallelism, the advantage of specialized dataflow kernels is reduced to around 2.5x. article_number: '859425' author: - first_name: Tobias full_name: Kenter, Tobias id: '3145' last_name: Kenter - first_name: Henning full_name: Schmitz, Henning last_name: Schmitz - first_name: Christian full_name: Plessl, Christian id: '16153' last_name: Plessl orcid: 0000-0001-5728-9982 citation: ama: Kenter T, Schmitz H, Plessl C.

BAARis based on the LLVM Compiler Infrastructure and has aclient-server architecture. The client runs the program to beaccelerated in an environment which allows program analysisand profiling. Program parts which are identified as suitable forthe available accelerator are exported and sent to the server.The server optimizes these program parts for the acceleratorand provides RPC execution for the client. The client transformsits program to utilize accelerated execution on the server foroffloaded program parts. We evaluate our work with a proofof-concept implementation of BAAR that uses an Intel XeonPhi 5110P as the acceleration target and performs automaticoffloading, parallelization and vectorization of suitable programparts. The practicality of BAAR for real-world examples is shownbased on a study of stencil codes. Our results show a speedup ofup to 4 without any developer-provided hints and 5.77 withhints over the same code compiled with the Intel Compiler atoptimization level O2 and running on an Intel Xeon E5-2670machine. Based on our insights gained during implementationand evaluation we outline future directions of research, e.g.,offloading more fine-granular program parts than functions, amore sophisticated communication mechanism or introducing onstack-replacement. author: - first_name: Marvin full_name: Damschen, Marvin last_name: Damschen - first_name: Christian full_name: Plessl, Christian id: '16153' last_name: Plessl orcid: 0000-0001-5728-9982 citation: ama: 'Damschen M, Plessl C.

Our work is based on Binary Acceleration At Runtime (BAAR), our previously introduced binary acceleration mechanism that uses the LLVM Compiler Infrastructure. BAAR is designed as a client-server architecture. The client runs the program to be accelerated in an environment, which allows program analysis and profiling and identifies and extracts suitable program parts to be offloaded. The server compiles and optimizes these offloaded program parts for the accelerator and offers access to these functions to the client with a remote procedure call (RPC) interface. Our previous work proved the feasibility of our approach, but also showed that communication time and overheads limit the granularity of functions that can be meaningfully offloaded. In this work, we motivate the importance of a lightweight, high-performance communication between server and client and present a communication mechanism based on the Message Passing Interface (MPI). We evaluate our approach by using an Intel Xeon Phi 5110P as the acceleration target and show that the communication overhead can be reduced from 40% to 10%, thus enabling even small hotspots to benefit from offloading to an accelerator. author: - first_name: Marvin full_name: Damschen, Marvin last_name: Damschen - first_name: Heinrich full_name: Riebler, Heinrich id: '8961' last_name: Riebler - first_name: Gavin Francis full_name: Vaz, Gavin Francis id: '30332' last_name: Vaz - first_name: Christian full_name: Plessl, Christian id: '16153' last_name: Plessl orcid: 0000-0001-5728-9982 citation: ama: 'Damschen M, Riebler H, Vaz GF, Plessl C.

It is estimated that roughly 8000 GBT (GigaBit Transceiver) links, with transfer rates up to 10.24 Gbps, will replace existing links used for readout, detector control and distribution of timing and trigger information. A new class of devices will be needed to interface many GBT links to the rest of the trigger, data-acquisition and detector control systems. In this paper FELIX (Front End LInk eXchange) is presented, a PC-based device to route data from and to multiple GBT links via a high-performance general purpose network capable of a total throughput up to O(20 Tbps). FELIX implies architectural changes to the ATLAS data acquisition system, such as the use of industry standard COTS components early in the DAQ chain. Additionally the design and implementation of a FELIX demonstration platform is presented and hardware and software aspects will be discussed. article_number: '082050' author: - first_name: J full_name: Anderson, J last_name: Anderson - first_name: A full_name: Borga, A last_name: Borga - first_name: H full_name: Boterenbrood, H last_name: Boterenbrood - first_name: H full_name: Chen, H last_name: Chen - first_name: K full_name: Chen, K last_name: Chen - first_name: G full_name: Drake, G last_name: Drake - first_name: D full_name: Francis, D last_name: Francis - first_name: B full_name: Gorini, B last_name: Gorini - first_name: F full_name: Lanni, F last_name: Lanni - first_name: G full_name: Lehmann Miotto, G last_name: Lehmann Miotto - first_name: L full_name: Levinson, L last_name: Levinson - first_name: J full_name: Narevicius, J last_name: Narevicius - first_name: Christian full_name: Plessl, Christian id: '16153' last_name: Plessl orcid: 0000-0001-5728-9982 - first_name: A full_name: Roich, A last_name: Roich - first_name: S full_name: Ryu, S last_name: Ryu - first_name: F full_name: Schreuder, F last_name: Schreuder - first_name: Jörn full_name: Schumacher, Jörn last_name: Schumacher - first_name: Wainer full_name: Vandelli, Wainer last_name: Vandelli - first_name: J full_name: Vermeulen, J last_name: Vermeulen - first_name: J full_name: Zhang, J last_name: Zhang citation: ama: 'Anderson J, Borga A, Boterenbrood H, et al.

Diese Grenze hat in den letzten Jahrzehnten nicht nur die Entwicklung von Computersystemen bestimmt, sondern auch die Strukturierung der Ausbildung in den Computerwissenschaften beeinflusst und sogar zur Entstehung von neuen Forschungsrichtungen gef{\"u}hrt. In diesem Beitrag besch{\"a}ftigen wir uns mit Verschiebungen an der Grenze zwischen Hardware und Software und diskutieren insgesamt drei qualitativ unterschiedliche Formen solcher Verschiebungen. Wir beginnen mit der Entwicklung von Computersystemen im letzten Jahrhundert und der Entstehung dieser Grenze, die Hardware und Software erst als eigenst{\"a}ndige Produkte differenziert. Dann widmen wir uns der Frage, welche Funktionen in einem Computersystem besser in Hardware und welche besser in Software realisiert werden sollten, eine Fragestellung die zu Beginn der 90er-Jahre zur Bildung einer eigenen Forschungsrichtung, dem sogenannten Hardware/Software Co-design, gef{\"u}hrt hat. Im Hardware/Software Co-design findet eine Verschiebung von Funktionen an der Grenze zwischen Hardware und Software w{\"a}hrend der Entwicklung eines Produktes statt, um Produkteigenschaften zu optimieren. Im fertig entwickelten und eingesetzten Produkt hingegen k{\"o}nnen wir dann eine feste Grenze zwischen Hardware und Software beobachten. Im dritten Teil dieses Beitrags stellen wir mit selbst-adaptiven Systemen eine hochaktuelle Forschungsrichtung vor. In unserem Kontext bedeutet Selbstadaption, dass ein System Verschiebungen von Funktionen an der Grenze zwischen Hardware und Software autonom w{\"a}hrend der Betriebszeit vornimmt. Solche Systeme beruhen auf rekonfigurierbarer Hardware, einer relativ neuen Technologie mit der die Hardware eines Computers w{\"a}hrend der Laufzeit ver{\"a}ndert werden kann. Diese Technologie f{\"u}hrt zu einer durchl{\"a}ssigen Grenze zwischen Hardware und Software bzw. l{\"o}st sie die herk{\"o}mmliche Vorstellung einer festen Hardware und einer flexiblen Software damit auf. author: - first_name: Marco full_name: Platzner, Marco id: '398' last_name: Platzner - first_name: Christian full_name: Plessl, Christian id: '16153' last_name: Plessl orcid: 0000-0001-5728-9982 citation: ama: 'Platzner M, Plessl C.

We tackle this challenge in both regards. In order to avoid long synthesis times, we target a vector copro- cessor, implemented on the FPGAs of a Convey HC-1. Previous studies showed that existing tools were not able to accelerate a real-world application with low effort. We present a toolflow to automatically identify suitable loops for vectorization, generate a corresponding hardware/software bipartition, and generate coprocessor code. Where applicable, we leverage outer-loop vectorization. We evaluate our tools with a set of characteristic loops, systematically analyzing different dependency and data layout properties. author: - first_name: Tobias full_name: Kenter, Tobias id: '3145' last_name: Kenter - first_name: Gavin Francis full_name: Vaz, Gavin Francis id: '30332' last_name: Vaz - first_name: Christian full_name: Plessl, Christian id: '16153' last_name: Plessl orcid: 0000-0001-5728-9982 citation: ama: 'Kenter T, Vaz GF, Plessl C.

Most researchers rely on temperature simulations to evaluate their novel thermal management techniques. However, these temperature simulations require a high computational effort if a detailed thermal model is used and their accuracies are often unclear. In contrast to simulations, the use of synthetic heat sources allows for experimental evaluation of temperature management methods. In this paper we investigate the creation of significant rises in temperature on modern FPGAs to enable future evaluation of thermal management techniques based on experiments. To that end, we have developed seven different heat-generating cores that use different subsets of FPGA resources. Our experimental results show that, according to external temperature probes connected to the FPGA’s heat sink, we can increase the temperature by an average of 81 !C. This corresponds to an average increase of 156.3 !C as measured by the built-in thermal diodes of our Virtex-5 FPGAs in less than 30 min by only utilizing about 21 percent of the slices. author: - first_name: Andreas full_name: Agne, Andreas last_name: Agne - first_name: Hendrik full_name: Hangmann, Hendrik last_name: Hangmann - first_name: Markus full_name: Happe, Markus last_name: Happe - first_name: Marco full_name: Platzner, Marco id: '398' last_name: Platzner - first_name: Christian full_name: Plessl, Christian id: '16153' last_name: Plessl orcid: 0000-0001-5728-9982 citation: ama: Agne A, Hangmann H, Happe M, Platzner M, Plessl C.

This operation is a crucial and time consuming operation when trying to break encryption systems with cold-boot attacks. In software, the reconstruction of the AES master key can be performed using a recursive, branch-and-bound tree-search algorithm that exploits redundancies in the key schedule for constraining the search space. In this work, we investigate how this branch-and-bound algorithm can be accelerated with FPGAs. We translated the recursive search procedure to a state machine with an explicit stack for each recursion level and create optimized datapaths to accelerate in particular the processing of the most frequently accessed tree levels. We support two different decay models, of which especially the more realistic non-idealized asymmetric decay model causes very high runtimes in software. Our implementation on a Maxeler dataflow computing system outperforms a software implementation for this model by up to 27x, which makes cold-boot attacks against AES practical even for high error rates. author: - first_name: Heinrich full_name: Riebler, Heinrich id: '8961' last_name: Riebler - first_name: Tobias full_name: Kenter, Tobias id: '3145' last_name: Kenter - first_name: Christian full_name: Plessl, Christian id: '16153' last_name: Plessl orcid: 0000-0001-5728-9982 - first_name: Christoph full_name: Sorge, Christoph last_name: Sorge citation: ama: 'Riebler H, Kenter T, Plessl C, Sorge C.

In our work we build on a recent reference architectural framework as a model for self-aware computing and instantiate it for an FPGA-based heterogeneous multicore running the ReconOS reconfigurable architecture and operating system. After presenting the model for self-aware computing and ReconOS, we demonstrate with a case study how a multicore application built on the principle of self-awareness, autonomously adapts to changes in the workload and system state. Our work shows that the reference architectural framework as a model for self-aware computing can be practically applied and allows us to structure and simplify the design process, which is essential for designing complex future computing systems. article_number: '13' author: - first_name: Andreas full_name: Agne, Andreas last_name: Agne - first_name: Markus full_name: Happe, Markus last_name: Happe - first_name: Achim full_name: Lösch, Achim id: '43646' last_name: Lösch - first_name: Christian full_name: Plessl, Christian id: '16153' last_name: Plessl orcid: 0000-0001-5728-9982 - first_name: Marco full_name: Platzner, Marco id: '398' last_name: Platzner citation: ama: Agne A, Happe M, Lösch A, Plessl C, Platzner M.

However, whenthe sequential code is executed on a host CPU and only dataparallelloops are executed on an FPGA coprocessor, a sufficientlylarge number of loop iterations (trip counts) is required, such thatthe control- and data-transfer overheads to the coprocessor canbe amortized. However, the trip count of large data-parallel loopsis frequently not known at compile time, but only at runtime justbefore entering a loop. Therefore, we propose to generate codeboth for the CPU and the coprocessor, and to defer the decisionwhere to execute the appropriate code to the runtime of theapplication when the trip count of the loop can be determinedjust at runtime. We demonstrate how an LLVM compiler basedtoolflow can automatically insert appropriate decision blocks intothe application code. Analyzing popular benchmark suites, weshow that this kind of runtime decisions is often applicable. Thepractical feasibility of our approach is demonstrated by a toolflowthat automatically identifies loops suitable for vectorization andgenerates code for the FPGA coprocessor of a Convey HC-1. Thetoolflow adds decisions based on a comparison of the runtimecomputedtrip counts to thresholds for specific loops and alsoincludes support to move just the required data to the coprocessor.We evaluate the integrated toolflow with characteristic loopsexecuted on different input data sizes. author: - first_name: Gavin Francis full_name: Vaz, Gavin Francis id: '30332' last_name: Vaz - first_name: Heinrich full_name: Riebler, Heinrich id: '8961' last_name: Riebler - first_name: Tobias full_name: Kenter, Tobias id: '3145' last_name: Kenter - first_name: Christian full_name: Plessl, Christian id: '16153' last_name: Plessl orcid: 0000-0001-5728-9982 citation: ama: 'Vaz GF, Riebler H, Kenter T, Plessl C.

Presented solutions range from simple, very resource efficient systems with modest matching quality for small embedded systems to sophisticated algorithms with several processing steps, implemented on big FPGAs. In order to achieve high throughput, most implementations strongly focus on pipelining and data reuse between different computation steps. This approach leads to high efficiency, but limits the supported computation patterns and due the high integration of the implementation, adaptions to the algorithm are difficult. In this work, we present a stereo-matching implementation, that starts by offloading individual kernels from the CPU to the FPGA. Between subsequent compute steps on the FPGA, data is stored off-chip in on-board memory of the FPGA accelerator card. This enables us to accelerate the AD-census algorithm with cross-based aggregation and scanline optimization for the first time without algorithmic changes and for up to full HD image dimensions. Analyzing throughput and bandwidth requirements, we outline some trade-offs that are involved with this approach, compared to tighter integration of more kernel loops into one design. author: - first_name: Tobias full_name: Kenter, Tobias id: '3145' last_name: Kenter - first_name: Henning full_name: Schmitz, Henning last_name: Schmitz - first_name: Christian full_name: Plessl, Christian id: '16153' last_name: Plessl orcid: 0000-0001-5728-9982 citation: ama: 'Kenter T, Schmitz H, Plessl C.

Instead the contents decay rather slowly, in particular if the DRAM chips are cooled to low temperatures. This effect opens an attack vector on cryptographic applications that keep decrypted keys in DRAM. An attacker with access to the target computer can reboot it or remove the RAM modules and quickly copy the RAM contents to non-volatile memory. By exploiting the known cryptographic structure of the cipher and layout of the key data in memory, in our application an AES key schedule with redundancy, the resulting memory image can be searched for sections that could correspond to decayed cryptographic keys; then, the attacker can attempt to reconstruct the original key. However, the runtime of these algorithms grows rapidly with increasing memory image size, error rate and complexity of the bit error model, which limits the practicability of the approach.In this work, we study how the algorithm for key search can be accelerated with custom computing machines. We present an FPGA-based architecture on a Maxeler dataflow computing system that outperforms a software implementation up to 205x, which significantly improves the practicability of cold-attacks against AES. author: - first_name: Heinrich full_name: Riebler, Heinrich id: '8961' last_name: Riebler - first_name: Tobias full_name: Kenter, Tobias id: '3145' last_name: Kenter - first_name: Christoph full_name: Sorge, Christoph last_name: Sorge - first_name: Christian full_name: Plessl, Christian id: '16153' last_name: Plessl orcid: 0000-0001-5728-9982 citation: ama: 'Riebler H, Kenter T, Sorge C, Plessl C.

After suitable components have been found, they are automatically integrated, configured and brought to execution in an On-The-Fly Compute Center. We envision that these future compute centers will continue to leverage three current trends in large scale computing which are an increasing amount of parallel processing, a trend to use heterogeneous computing resources, and—in the light of rising energy cost—energy-efficiency as a primary goal in the design and operation of computing systems. In this paper, we point out three research challenges and our current work in these areas. author: - first_name: Markus full_name: Happe, Markus last_name: Happe - first_name: Peter full_name: Kling, Peter last_name: Kling - first_name: Christian full_name: Plessl, Christian id: '16153' last_name: Plessl orcid: 0000-0001-5728-9982 - first_name: Marco full_name: Platzner, Marco id: '398' last_name: Platzner - first_name: Friedhelm full_name: Meyer auf der Heide, Friedhelm id: '15523' last_name: Meyer auf der Heide citation: ama: 'Happe M, Kling P, Plessl C, Platzner M, Meyer auf der Heide F.
