text: This bachelor thesis presents a C/C++ implementation of the XCS algorithm
for an embedded system and profiling results concerning the execution time of
the functions. These are then analyzed in relation to the input characteristics
of the examined learning environments and compared with related work. Three main
conclusions can be drawn from the measured results. First, the maximum size of
the population of the classifiers influences the runtime of the genetic algorithm;
second, the size of the input space has a direct effect on the execution time
of the matching function; and last, a larger action space results in a longer
runtime generating the prediction for the possible actions. The dependencies identified
here can serve to optimize the computational efficiency and make XCS more suitable
for embedded systems.

text: "Autonomous mobile robots are becoming increasingly more capable and widespread.
Reliable Obstacle avoidance is an integral part of autonomous navigation. This
involves real time interpretation and processing of a complex environment. Strict
time and energy constraints of a mobile autonomous system make efficient computation
extremely desirable. The benefits of employing Hardware/Software co-designed applications
are obvious and significant. Hardware accelerators are used for efficient processing
of the algorithms by exploiting parallelism. FPGAs are a class of hardware accelerators,
which\r\ncan contain hundreds of small execution units, and can be used for Hardware/Software
co-designed application. However, there is a reluctance when it comes to adoption
of these devices in well established application domains, such as Robotics, due
to a steep learning curve needed for FPGA application design. ReconROS has successfully
bridged the gap between robotic and FPGA application development, by providing
an intuitive, common development platform for robotic application development
for FPGA. It does so by integrating Robotics Operating System(ROS) which is an
industry and academia standard for robotics application development, with ReconOS,
an operating system for re-configurable hardware. In this thesis an obstacle avoidance
system is designed and implemented for an autonomous vehicle using ReconROS. The
objectives of the thesis is to demonstrate and explore ReconROS integration within
the ROS ecosystem and explore the design process within ReconROS framework, and
to demonstrate the effectiveness of Hardware Acceleration in Robotics, by analysing
the resulting architectures for Latency and Power Consumption."

text: "Robots are becoming increasingly autonomous and more capable. Because of
a limited portable energy budget by e.g. batteries, and more demanding algorithms,
an efficient computation is of interest. Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs)
for example can provide fast and efficient processing and the Robot Operating
System (ROS) is a popular\r\nmiddleware used for robotic applications. The novel
ReconROS combines version 2 of the Robot Operating System with ReconOS, a framework
for integrating reconfigurable hardware. It provides a unified interface between
software and hardware. ReconROS is evaluated in this thesis by implementing a
Sobel filter as the video processing application, running on a Zynq-7000 series
System on Chip. Timing measurements were taken of execution and transfer times
and were compared to theoretical values. Designing the hardware implementation
is done by C code using High Level Synthesis and with the interface and functionality
provided by ReconROS. An important aspect is the publish/subscribe mechanism of
ROS. The Operating System interface functions for publishing and subscribing are
reasonably fast at below 10 ms for a 1 MB color VGA image. The main memory interface
performs well at higher data sizes, crossing 100 MB/s at 20 kB and increasing
to a maximum of around 150 MB/s. Furthermore, the hardware implementation introduces
consistency to the execution times and performs twice as fast as the software
implementation."

text: "Modern machine learning (ML) techniques continue to move into the embedded
system space because traditional centralized compute resources do not suit certain
application domains, for example in mobile or real-time environments. Google’s
TensorFlow Lite (TFLite) framework supports this shift from cloud to edge computing
and makes ML inference accessible on resource-constrained devices. While it offers
the possibility to partially delegate computation to hardware accelerators, there
is no such “delegate” available to utilize the promising characteristics of reconfigurable
hardware.\r\nThis thesis incorporates modern platform FPGAs into TFLite by implementing
a modular delegate framework, which allows accelerators within the programmable
logic to take over the execution of neural network layers. To facilitate the necessary
hardware/software codesign, the FPGA delegate is based on the operating system
for reconfigurable\r\ncomputing (ReconOS), whose partial reconfiguration support
enables the instantiation of model-tailored accelerator architectures. In the
hardware back-end, a streaming-based prototype accelerator for the MobileNet model
family showcases the working order of the platform, but falls short of the desired
performance. Thus, it indicates the need for further exploration of alternative
accelerator designs, which the delegate could automatically synthesize to meet
a model’s demands."

text: "Secure hardware design is the most important aspect to be considered in addition
to functional correctness. Achieving hardware security in today’s globalized Integrated
Cir- cuit(IC) supply chain is a challenging task. One solution that is widely
considered to help achieve secure hardware designs is Information Flow Tracking(IFT).
It provides an ap- proach to verify that the systems adhere to security properties
either by static verification during design phase or dynamic checking during runtime.\r\nProof-Carrying
Hardware(PCH) is an approach to verify a functional design prior to using it in
hardware. It is a two-party verification approach, where the target party, the
consumer requests new functionalities with pre-defined properties to the producer.
In response, the producer designs the IP (Intellectual Property) cores with the
requested functionalities that adhere to the consumer-defined properties. The
producer provides the IP cores and a proof certificate combined into a proof-carrying
bitstream to the consumer to verify it. If the verification is successful, the
consumer can use the IP cores in his hardware. In essence, the consumer can only
run verified IP cores. Correctly applied, PCH techniques can help consumers to
defend against many unintentional modifications and malicious alterations of the
modules they receive. There are numerous published examples of how to use PCH
to detect any change in the functionality of a circuit, i.e., pairing a PCH approach
with functional equivalence checking for combinational or sequential circuits.
For non-functional properties, since opening new covert channels to leak secret
information from secure circuits is a viable attack vector for hardware trojans,
i.e., intentionally added malicious circuitry, IFT technique is employed to make
sure that secret/untrusted information never reaches any unclassified/trusted
outputs.\r\nThis master thesis aims to explore the possibility of adapting Information
Flow Tracking into a Proof-Carrying Hardware scenario. It aims to create a method
that combines Infor- mation Flow Tracking(IFT) with a PCH approach at bitstream
level enabling consumers to validate the trustworthiness of a module’s information
flow without the computational costs of a complete flow analysis."

text: Traditional cache design uses a consolidated block of memory address bits
to index a cache set, equivalent to the use of modulo functions. While this module-based
mapping scheme is widely used in contemporary cache structures due to the simplicity
of its hardware design and its good performance for sequences of consecutive addresses,
its use may not be satisfactory for a variety of application domains having different
characteristics.This thesis presents a new type of cache mapping scheme, motivated
by programmable capabilities combined with Nature-inspired optimization of reconfigurable
hardware. This research has focussed on an FPGA-based evolvable cache structure
of the first level cache in a multi-core processor architecture, able to dynamically
change cache indexing. To solve the challenge of reconfigurable cache mappings,
a programmable Boolean circuit based on a combination of Look-up Table (LUT) memory
elements is proposed. Focusing on optimization aspects at the system level, a
Performance Measurement Infrastructure is introduced that is able to monitor the
underlying microarchitectural metrics, and an adaptive evaluation strategy is
presented that leverages on Evolutionary Algorithms, that is not only capable
of evolving application-specific address-to-cache-index mappings for level one
split caches but also of reducing optimization times. Putting this all together
and prototyping in an FPGA for a LEON3/Linux-based multi-core processor, the creation
of a system architecture reduces cache misses and improves performance over the
use of conventional caches.

text: Traditionelle Cachedesigns verwenden konsolidierte Blöcke von Speicheradressbits
um einen Cachesatz zu indizieren, vergleichbar mit der Anwendung einer Modulofunktion.
Obwohl dieses modulobasierte Abbildungsschema in heutigen Cachestrukturen weit
verbreitet ist, vor allem wegen seiner einfachen Anforderungen an das Hardwaredesign
und seiner Effizienz für die Indizierung eufeinanderfolgender Speicheradressen,
kann seine Verwendung für eine Vielzahl von Anwendungsdomänen mit unterschiedlichen
Charakteristiken zu suboptimalen Ergebnissen führen. Diese Dissertation präsentiert
einen neuen Typ von Cacheabbildungsschema, motiviert durch die Kombination programmierbarer
Ressourcen mit der naturinspirierten Optimierung rekonfigurierbarer Hardware.
Im Fokus dieser Forschung steht eine FPGA-basierte Cachestruktur für den first
level Cache einer Mehrkernprozessorarchitektur, welche die Cacheindizierung dynamisch
ändern kann. Um die Herausforderung rekonfigurierbarer Cacheabbildungen zu lösen,
wird eine reprogrammierbare Boolesche Schaltung eingeführt, die auf Look-up Table
(LUT) Speicherelementen basiert. Weiterhin wird eine Infrastruktur zur Effizienzmessung
eingeführt, welche die zugrundeliege Mikroarchitektur überwachen kann, sowie eine
adaptive Evaluationsstrategie präsentiert, die evolutionäre Algorithmen wirksam
einsetzt, und die nicht nur anwendungsspezifische Abbildungen von Speicheradressen
zu Cacheindizes für level one Caches evolvieren sondern dabei auch die Optimierungszeiten
reduzieren kann. All diese Aspekte zusammen in einer prototypischen Implementierung
auf einem FPGA für einen LEON3/Linux-basierten Mehrkernprozessor zeigen, dass
evolvierbare Cacheabbildungsfunktionen Cache Misses reduzieren, sowie die Effizienz
im Vergleich zu konventionellen Caches erhöhen können.

text: "Monte-Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) is a class of simulation-based search algorithms.
It brought about great success in the past few years regarding the evaluation
of deterministic two-player games such as the Asian board game Go.\r\n\r\nIn this
thesis, we present a parallelization of the most popular MCTS variant for large
HPC compute clusters that efficiently shares a single game tree representation
in a distributed memory environment and scales up to 128 compute nodes and 2048
cores. It is hereby one of the most powerful MCTS parallelizations to date.\r\n\r\nIn
order to measure the impact of our parallelization on the search quality and remain
comparable to the most advanced MCTS implementations to date, we implemented it
in a state-of-the-art Go engine Gomorra, making it competitive with the strongest
Go programs in the world.\r\n\r\nWe further present an empirical comparison of
different Bayesian ranking systems when being used for predicting expert moves
for the game of Go and introduce a novel technique for automated detection and
analysis of evaluation uncertainties that show up during MCTS searches."

text: "Reconfigurable circuit devices have opened up a fundamentally new way of
creating adaptable systems. Combined with artificial evolution, reconfigurable
circuits allow an elegant adaptation approach to compensating for changes in the
distribution of input data, computational resource errors, and variations in resource
requirements. Referred to as ``Evolvable Hardware'' (EHW), this paradigm has yielded
astonishing results for traditional engineering challenges and has discovered
intriguing design principles, which have not yet been seen in conventional engineering.\r\n\r\nIn
this thesis, we present new and fundamental work on Evolvable Hardware motivated
by the insight that Evolvable Hardware needs to compensate for events with different
change rates. To solve the challenge of different adaptation speeds, we propose
a unified adaptation approach based on multi-objective evolution, evolving and
propagating candidate solutions that are diverse in objectives that may experience
radical changes.\r\n\r\nFocusing on algorithmic aspects, we enable Cartesian Genetic
Programming (CGP) model, which we are using to encode Boolean circuits, for multi-objective
optimization by introducing a meaningful recombination operator. We improve the
scalability of CGP by objectives scaling, periodization of local- and global-search
algorithms, and the automatic acquisition and reuse of subfunctions using age-
and cone-based techniques. We validate our methods on the applications of adaptation
of hardware classifiers to resource changes, recognition of muscular signals for
prosthesis control and optimization of processor caches."

text: 'Handling run-time dynamics on embedded system-on-chip architectures has become
more challenging over the years. On the one hand, the impact of workload and physical
dynamics on the system behavior has dramatically increased. On the other hand,
embedded architectures have become more complex as they have evolved from single-processor
systems over multi-processor systems to hybrid multi-core platforms.Static design-time
techniques no longer provide suitable solutions to deal with the run-time dynamics
of today''s embedded systems. Therefore, system designers have to apply run-time
solutions, which have hardly been investigated for hybrid multi-core platforms.In
this thesis, we present fundamental work in the new area of run-time management
on hybrid multi-core platforms. We propose a novel architecture, a self-adaptive
hybrid multi-core system, that combines heterogeneous processors, reconfigurable
hardware cores, and monitoring cores on a single chip. Using self-adaptation on
thread-level, our hybrid multi-core systems can effectively perform performance
and thermal management autonomously at run-time. '

text: FPGAs, systems on chip and embedded systems are nowadays irreplaceable. They
combine the computational power of application specific hardware with software-like
flexibility. At runtime, they can adjust their functionality by downloading new
hardware modules and integrating their functionality. Due to their growing capabilities,
the demands made to reconfigurable hardware grow. Their deployment in increasingly
security critical scenarios requires new ways of enforcing security since a failure
in security has severe consequences. Aside from financial losses, a loss of human
life and risks to national security are possible. With this work I present the
novel and groundbreaking concept of proof-carrying hardware. It is a method for
the verification of properties of hardware modules to guarantee security for a
target platform at runtime. The producer of a hardware module delivers based on
the consumer's safety policy a safety proof in combination with the reconfiguration
bitstream. The extensive computation of a proof is a contrast to the comparatively
undemanding checking of the proof. I present a prototype based on open-source
tools and an abstract FPGA architecture and bitstream format. The proof of the
usability of proof-carrying hardware provides the evaluation of the prototype
with the exemplary application of securing combinational and bounded sequential
equivalence of reference monitor modules for memory safety.

text: FPGAs, System on Chips und eingebettete Systeme sind heutzutage kaum mehr
wegzudenken. Sie kombinieren die Rechenleistung von spezialisierter Hardware mit
einer Software-ähnlichen Flexibilität. Zur Laufzeit können sie ihre Funktionalität
anpassen, indem sie online neue Hardware Module beziehen und deren Funktionalität
integrieren. Mit der Leistung wachsen auch die Anforderungen an rekonfigurierbare
Hardware. Ihr Einsatz in immer sicherheitskritischeren Szenarien erfordert neue
Wege um Sicherheit zu gewährleisten, da ein Versagen der Sicherheit gravierende
Folgen mit sich bringt. Neben finanziellen Verlusten sind auch der Verlust von
Menschenleben oder Einbußen in der nationalen Sicherheit denkbar. In dieser Arbeit
stelle ich das neue und wegweisende Konzept der beweistragenden Hardware vor.
Es ist eine Methode zur Verifizierung von Eigenschaften von Hardware Modulen um
die Sicherheit der Zielplatformen zur Laufzeit zu garantieren. Der Produzent eines
Hardware Moduls liefert, basierend auf den Sicherheitsbestimmungen des Konsumenten,
einen Beweis der Sicherheit mit dem Rekonfigurierungsbitstrom. Die aufwendige
Berechnung des Beweises steht im Kontrast zu der vergleichsweise unaufwendigen
Überprüfung durch den Konsumenten. Ich präsentiere einen Prototypen basierend
auf Open Source Werkzeugen und einer eigenen abstrakten FPGA Architektur samt
Bitstromformat. Den Nachweis über die Nutzbarkeit von beweistragender Hardware
erbringt die Evaluierung des Prototypen zur beispielhaften Anwendung der Sicherung
von kombinatorischer und begrenzt sequenzieller Äquivalenz von Referenzmonitor-Modulen
zur Speichersicherheit.

text: "The paradigm shift towards many-core parallelism is accompanied by two fundamental
questions: how should the many processors on a single die communicate to each
other and what are suitable programming models for these novel architectures?
In this thesis, the author tackles both questions by reviewing the reconfigurable
mesh model of massively parallel computation for many-cores.\r\n\r\nThe book presents
the design, implementation and evaluation of a many-core architecture that is
based on the execution principles and communication infrastructure of the reconfigurable
mesh. This work fundamentally rests on FPGA implementations and shows that reconfigurable
mesh processors with hundreds of autonomous cores are feasible. Several case studies
demonstrate the effectiveness of programming and illustrate why the reconfigurable
mesh is a promising model for many-cores."
