High Performance Processors: Techniques, Algorithms, and Tools

Abstract:This project aims at code generation algorithms and software simulators for high performance computer architecture. Specifically, we focus on new algorithms for instruction scheduling and register allocation coupled with the llvm compiler infrastructure based on the subgraph isomorphism scheduling. Moreover, we carry out software simulators for those high performance architectures.

Development of an education system and monitoring of energy efficiency

Abstract:The use of electrical equipment for greater efficiency and control the operation of the electric charges are the main actions to reduce energy expenses of a consumer unit, however, ignorance and lack of a tool that allows the monitoring of energy consumption real-time hinder the implementation and maintenance of energy efficiency programs. Thus, the project entitled Development of an education system and monitoring of energy efficiency are proposed to develop an education system for energy users based on monitoring the electrical power absorbed by equipment, industry or consumer unit via the Internet network.

Embedded System for Collection of Climatic Parameters with Fault Tolerance

Abstract:The development of fungi as the cause of soybean rust, is associated with climatic conditions, therefore, several mathematical models of forecasting has been developed to predict the evolution of these diseases in various crops. These models are fed weather data and provide an index of infection which assists in determining the time of application of the fungicide, that allows the use of these products in lower amounts, thus reducing costs and contamination of food and the environment. The forecasting models are used in so-called disease forecasting systems, where individual weather stations (embedded systems) measure and store the climate parameters transferring them via satellite or cellular network to a central computer, which processes the data and provides the indices for the farmer. In Mato Grosso do Sul, in Brazil, these systems are beginning to be used, but still limited to few initiatives. The occurrence of failures at meteorological stations scattered in the fields is a common problem and generates significant losses (failure to detect an outbreak, cost for replacement of stations located in remote locations and others). Given the above, the objective of the proposed research is to study the techniques and methods related to fault tolerance, and develop an embedded system collector climatic parameters (weather station) with the capability of fault tolerance.

Project of Specific Processors for the Application.

Abstract:In this project, we propose designing ASIPs (processor instruction set specific to the application) directed to specific areas of applications, using a hybrid architecture. The idea is, by partitioning hardware / software application, select the application operations to be implemented as specialized instructions. Then we will design specialized functional units to execute these instructions in hardware, the component of the reconfigurable architecture. Instructions will be added to the instruction set processor based architecture that runs the rest of the application software. This approach will be used to design ASIPs for applications of two distinct domains, encryption and Bioinformatics.
