Exploiting Significance of Computations for Energy-Constrained Approximate Computing
(2016)Approximate execution is a viable technique for environments with energy constraints, provided that applications are given the mechanisms to produce outputs of the highest possible quality within the available energy budget. ... -
Fault-Tolerance Support for Mobile Robotic Applications
(2018)The advent of powerful yet also affordable mobile robotic platforms will spur a new generation of computer-driven applications that employ multiple mobile robots to perform a large variety of missions. This prospect has ... -
A programming model and runtime system for approximation-aware heterogeneous computing
(2017)Heterogeneous platforms that include diverse architectures such as multicore CPUs, FPGAs and GPUs are becoming very popular due to their superior performance and energy efficiency. Besides heterogeneity, a promising approach ... -
A programming model and runtime system for significance-aware energy-efficient computing
(2015)We introduce a task-based programming model and runtime system that exploit the observation that not all parts of a program are equally significant for the accuracy of the end-result, in order to trade off the quality of ... -
Proteus: An architectural synthesis tool based on the stream programming paradigm
(2009)The problem of automatically generating hardware modules from a high level representation of an application has been at the forefront of EDA research in the last few years. Such an EDA methodology would potentially enable ... -
Shortening design time through multiplatform simulations with a portable OpenCL golden-model: The LDPC decoder case
(2012)Hardware designers and engineers typically need to explore a multi-parametric design space in order to find the best configuration for their designs using simulations that can take weeks to months to complete. For example, ... -
Significance driven computation on next-generation unreliable platforms
(2011)In this paper, we propose a design paradigm for energy efficient and variation-aware operation of next-generation multicore heterogeneous platforms. The main idea behind the proposed approach lies on the observation that ... -
Significance-aware program execution on unreliable hardware
(2017)This article introduces a significance-centric programming model and runtime support that sets the supply voltage in a multicore CPU to sub-nominal values to reduce the energy footprint and provide mechanisms to control ... -
A significance-driven programming framework for energy-constrained approximate computing
(2015)Approximate execution is a viable technique for energy-constrained environments, provided that applications have the mechanisms to produce outputs of the highest possible quality within the given energy budget. We introduce ...
