  text: "Ever increasing demands on the performance of microchips are leading to ever
    more complex semiconductor technologies with ever shrinking feature sizes. Complex
    applications with high demands on safety and reliability, such as autonomous driving,
    are simultaneously driving the requirements for test and diagnosis of VLSI circuits.
    Throughout the life cycle of a microchip, uncertainties occur that affect its
    timing behavior. For example, weak circuit structures, aging effects, or process
    variations can lead to a change in the timing behavior of the circuit. While these
    uncertainties do not necessarily lead to a change of the functional behavior,
    they can lead to a reliability problem.\r\nWith modular and hybrid compaction
    two test instruments are presented in this work that can be used for X-tolerant
    test response compaction in the built-in Faster-than-At-Speed Test (FAST) which
    is used to detect uncertainties in VLSI circuits. One challenge for test response
    compaction during FAST is the high and varying X-rate at the outputs of the circuit
    under test. By dividing the circuit outputs into test groups and separately compacting
    these test groups using stochastic compactors, the modular compaction is able
    to handle these high and varying X-rates.\r\nTo deal with uncertainties on logic
    interconnects, a method for distinguishing crosstalk and process variation is
    presented. In current semiconductor technologies, the number of parasitic coupling
    capacitances between logic interconnects is growing. These coupling capacitances
    can lead to crosstalk, which causes increased current flow in the logic interconnects,
    which in turn can lead to increased electromigration. In the presented method,
    delay maps describing the timing behavior of the circuit outputs at different
    operating points are used to train artificial neural networks which classify the
    tested circuits into fault-free and faulty."

    zu Halbleitertechnologien mit immer kleiner werdenden Strukturgrößen. Anwendungen
    mit hohen Ansprüchen an Sicherheit und Zuverlässigkeit, wie z.B. das autonome
    Fahren, treiben gleichzeitig die Anforderungen an den Test hochintegrierter Schaltungen
    an. Während des gesamten Lebenszyklus eines Mikrochips kommt es zu Unsicherheiten
    im Zeitverhalten. So können z.B. schwache Schaltungsstrukturen, Alterungseffekte
    oder Prozessvariationen zu einer Veränderung des Zeitverhaltens führen. Während
    diese Unsicherheiten nicht zu einer Veränderung des funktionalen Verhaltens führen
    müssen, können sie jedoch zu einem Zuverlässigkeitsproblem führen.\r\nMit der
    modularen und der hybriden Kompaktierung werden in dieser Arbeit zwei Testinstrumente
    vorgestellt, die für die X-tolerante Testantwortkompaktierung im eingebauten Hochgeschwindigkeitstest
    verwendet werden können. Eine Herausforderung für die Testantwortkompaktierung
    während des Hochgeschwindigkeitstests ist die hohe und variierende X-Rate an den
    Ausgängen der zu testenden Schaltung. Durch die Einteilung der Schaltungsausgänge
    in Prüfgruppen und die separierte Kompaktierung der Prüfgruppen mithilfe von stochastischen
    Kompaktierern, können die vorgestellten Verfahren diese hohen und variierenden
    X-Raten verarbeiten.\r\nFür den Umgang mit Unsicherheiten auf Verbindungsleitungen
    der Logik-Schaltung wird ein Verfahren zur Unterscheidung von Übersprechen und
    Prozessvariation vorgestellt. In aktuellen Halbleitertechnologien kommt es vermehrt
    zu parasitären Koppelkapazitäten zwischen den Verbindungsleitungen. In dem vorgestellten
    Verfahren werden künstliche neuronale Netze trainiert, um die Schaltungen in fehlerfrei
    und fehlerhaft zu klassifizieren."

  text: 'Wettstreit zwischen der Entwicklung neuer Hardwaretrojaner und entsprechender
    Gegenmaßnahmen beschreiten Widersacher immer raffiniertere Wege um Schaltungsentwürfe
    zu infizieren und dabei selbst fortgeschrittene Test- und Verifikationsmethoden
    zu überlisten. Abgesehen von den konventionellen Methoden um einen Trojaner in
    eine Schaltung für ein Field-programmable Gate Array (FPGA) einzuschleusen, können
    auch die Entwurfswerkzeuge heimlich kompromittiert werden um einen Angreifer dabei
    zu unterstützen einen erfolgreichen Angriff durchzuführen, der zum Beispiel Fehlfunktionen
    oder ungewollte Informationsabflüsse bewirken kann. Diese Dissertation beschäftigt
    sich hauptsächlich mit den beiden Blickwinkeln auf Hardwaretrojaner in rekonfigurierbaren
    Systemen, einerseits der Perspektive des Verteidigers mit einer Methode zur Erkennung
    von Trojanern auf der Bitstromebene, und andererseits derjenigen des Angreifers
    mit einer neuartigen Angriffsmethode für FPGA Trojaner. Für die Verteidigung gegen
    den Trojaner ``Heimtückische LUT'''' stellen wir die allererste erfolgreiche Gegenmaßnahme
    vor, die durch Verifikation mittels Proof-carrying Hardware (PCH) auf der Bitstromebene
    direkt vor der Konfiguration der Hardware angewendet werden kann, und präsentieren
    ein vollständiges Schema für den Entwurf und die Verifikation von Schaltungen
    für iCE40 FPGAs. Für die Gegenseite führen wir einen neuen Angriff ein, welcher
    bösartiges Routing im eingefügten Trojaner ausnutzt um selbst im fertigen Bitstrom
    in einem inaktiven Zustand zu verbleiben: Hierdurch kann dieser neuartige Angriff
    zur Zeit weder von herkömmlichen Test- und Verifikationsmethoden, noch von unserer
    vorher vorgestellten Verifikation auf der Bitstromebene entdeckt werden.'

  text: The battle of developing hardware Trojans and corresponding countermeasures
    has taken adversaries towards ingenious ways of compromising hardware designs
    by circumventing even advanced testing and verification methods. Besides conventional
    methods of inserting Trojans into a design by a malicious entity, the design flow
    for field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) can also be surreptitiously compromised
    to assist the attacker to perform a successful malfunctioning or information leakage
    attack. This thesis mainly focuses on the two aspects of hardware Trojans in reconfigurable
    systems, the defenders perspective which corresponds to the bitstream-level Trojan
    detection technique, and the attackers perspective which corresponds to a novel
    FPGA Trojan attack. From the defender's perspective, we introduce a first-ever
    successful pre-configuration countermeasure against the ``Malicious LUT''-hardware
    Trojan, by employing bitstream-level Proof-Carrying Hardware (PCH) and present
    the complete design-and-verification flow for iCE40 FPGAs. Likewise, from an attackers
    perspective, we present a novel attack that leverages malicious routing of the
    inserted Trojan circuit to acquire a dormant state even in the generated and transmitted
    bitstream. Since the Trojan is injected in a post-synthesis step and remains unconnected
    in the bitstream, the presented attack can currently neither be prevented by conventional
    testing and verification methods nor by bitstream-level verification techniques.

  text: "Previous research in proof-carrying hardware has established the feasibility
    and utility of the approach, and provided a concrete solution for employing it
    for the certification of functional equivalence checking against a specification,
    but fell short in connecting it to state-of-the-art formal verification insights,
    methods and tools. Due to the immense complexity of modern circuits, and verification
    challenges such as the state explosion problem for sequential circuits, this restriction
    of readily-available verification solutions severely limited the applicability
    of the approach in wider contexts.\r\n\r\nThis thesis closes the gap between the
    PCH approach and current advances in formal hardware verification, provides methods
    and tools to express and certify a wide range of circuit properties, both functional
    and non-functional, and presents for the first time prototypes in which circuits
    that are implemented on actual reconfigurable hardware are verified with PCH methods.
    Using these results, designers can now apply PCH to establish trust in more complex
    circuits, by using more diverse properties which they can express using modern,
    efficient property specification techniques."

  text: "Die bisherige Forschung zu Proof-Carrying Hardware (PCH) hat dessen Machbarkeit
    und Nützlichkeit gezeigt und einen Ansatz zur Zertifizierung der funktionalen
    Äquivalenz zu einer Spezifikation geliefert, jedoch ohne PCH mit aktuellen Erkenntnissen,
    Methoden oder Werkzeugen formaler Hardwareverifikation zu verknüpfen. Aufgrund
    der Komplexität moderner Schaltungen und Verifikationsherausforderungen wie der
    Zustandsexplosion bei sequentiellen Schaltungen, limitiert diese Einschränkung
    sofort verfügbarer Verifikationslösungen die Anwendbarkeit des Ansatzes in einem
    größeren Kontext signifikant.\r\n\r\nDiese Dissertation schließt die Lücke zwischen
    PCH und modernen Entwicklungen in der Schaltungsverifikation und stellt Methoden
    und Werkzeuge zur Verfügung, welche die Zertifizierung einer großen Bandbreite
    von Schaltungseigenschaften ermöglicht; sowohl funktionale, als auch nicht-funktionale.
    Überdies werden erstmals Prototypen vorgestellt in welchen Schaltungen mittels
    PCH verifiziert werden, die auf tatsächlicher rekonfigurierbarer Hardware realisiert
    sind. Dank dieser Ergebnisse können Entwickler PCH zur Herstellung von Vertrauen
    in weit komplexere Schaltungen verwenden, unter Zuhilfenahme einer größeren Vielfalt
    von Eigenschaften, welche durch moderne, effiziente Spezifikationstechniken ausgedrückt
    werden können."

  text: Automation becomes a vital part in the High-Performance computing system in
    situational dynamics to take the decisions on the fly. Heterogeneous compute nodes
    consist of computing resources such as CPU, GPU and FPGA and are the important
    components of the high-performance computing system that can adapt the automation
    to achieve the given goal. While implanting automation in the computing resources,
    management of the resources is one of the essential aspects that need to be taken
    care of. Tasks are continuously executed on the resources using its unique characteristics.
    Effective scheduling is essential to make the best use of the characteristics
    provided by each resource. Scheduling enables the execution of each task by allocating
    resources so that they take advantage of all the characteristics of the compute
    resources. Various scheduling heuristics can be used to create effective scheduling,
    which might require the execution time to schedule the task efficiently. Providing
    actual execution time is not possible in many cases; hence we can provide the
    estimations for the actual execution time . The purpose of this master's thesis
    is to design a predictive model or system that estimates the execution time required
    to execute tasks using historical execution time data on the heterogeneous compute
    nodes. In this thesis, regression techniques(SGD Regressor, Passive-Aggressive
    Regressor, MLP Regressor, and XCSF Regressor) are compared in terms of their prediction
    accuracy in order to determine which technique produces reliable predictions for
    the execution time. These estimations must be generated in an online learning
    environment in which data points arrive in any sequence, one by one, and the regression
    model must learn from them. After evaluating the regression algorithms, it is
    seen that the XCSF regressor provides the highest overall prediction accuracy
    for the supplied data sets. The regression technique's parameters also play a
    significant role in achieving an acceptable prediction accuracy. As a remark,
    when using online learning in regression analysis, the accuracy depends upon both
    the order of sequential data points that are coming to train the model and the
    parameter configuration for each regression technique.

  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."
