Code generation for embedded processors
Authors: Rainer Leupers
Venue: Proceedings of the 13th international symposium on System synthesis (2000)

The increasing use of programmable processors as IP blocks in embedded system design creates a need for C/C++ compilers capable of generating efficient machine code. Many of today's compilers for embedded processors suffer from insufficient code quality in terms of code size and performance. This violates the tight chip area and real-time constraints often imposed on embedded systems. The reason is that embedded processors typically show architectural features which are not well handled by classical compiler technology. This paper provides a survey of methods and techniques dedicated to efficient code generation for embedded processors. Emphasis is put on DSP and multimedia processors, for which better compiler technology is definitely required. In addition, some frontend aspects and recent trends in research and industry are briefly covered. The goal of these recent efforts in embedded code generation is to facilitate the step from assembly to high-level language programming of embedded systems, so as to provide higher productivity, dependability, and portability of embedded software.
Strategic directions in VV&A; research: strategic directions in Verification, Validation, and Accreditation research
Authors: Robert G. Sargent, Priscilla A. Glasow, Jack P. C. Kleijnen, Averill M. Law, Ian McGregor, Simone Youngblood
Venue: Proceedings of the 32nd conference on Winter simulation (2000)

Six simulation professionals present their views on the directions that they believe that verification, validation, and accreditation research should take. Two of the six are active verification, validation, and accreditation researchers from academia, two develop industry simulation models, and two work in verification, validation, and accreditation of military simulation models. A number of areas and topics for research in verification, validation, and accreditation are identified. It appears that application domains of simulation models affect what topics need verification, validation, and accreditation research.

Information Theoretic Clustering
Authors: Erhan Gokcay, Jose C. Principe
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence (2002)

Clustering is one of the important topics in pattern recognition. Since only the structure of the data dictates the grouping (unsupervised learning), information theory is an obvious criteria to establish the clustering rule. This paper describes a novel valley seeking clustering algorithm using an information theoretic measure to estimate the cost of partitioning the data set. The information theoretic criteria developed here evolved from a Renyi's entropy estimator that was proposed recently and has been successfully applied to other machine learning applications. An improved version of the k-change algorithm is used in optimization because of the stepwise nature of the cost function and existence of local minima. Even when applied to nonlinearly separable data, the new algorithm performs well, and was able to find nonlinear boundaries between clusters. The algorithm is also applied to the segmentation of magnetic resonance imaging data (MRI) with very promising results.

Cost-Conscious Strategies to Increase Performance of Numerical Programs on Aggressive VLIW Architectures
Authors: David López, Josep Llosa, Mateo Valero, Eduard Ayguadé
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Computers (2001)

Loops are the main time-consuming part of numerical applications. The performance of the loops is limited either by the resources offered by the architecture or by recurrences in the computation. To execute more operations per cycle, current processors are designed with growing degrees of resource replication (replication technique) for memory ports and functional units. However, the high cost in terms of area and cycle time of this technique precludes the use of high degrees of replication. High values for the cycle time may clearly offset any gain in terms of number of execution cycles. High values for the area may lead to an unimplementable configuration. An alternative to resource replication is resource widening (widening technique), which has also been used in some recent designs in which the width of the resources is increased (i.e., a single operation is performed over multiple data). Moreover, several general-purpose superscalar microprocessors have been implemented with multiply-add fused floating-point units (fusion technique), which reduces the latency of the combined operation and the number of resources used. In this paper, we evaluate a broad set of VLIW processor design alternatives that combine the three techniques. We perform a technological projection for the next processor generations in order to foresee the possible implementable alternatives. From this study, we conclude that if the cost is taken into account, combining certain degrees of replication and widening in the hardware resources is more effective than applying only replication. Also, we confirm that multiply-add fused units will have a significant impact in raising the performance of future processors architectures with a reasonable increase in cost.
The changing face of technical communication: new directions for the field in a new millennium
Authors: Mark Zachry, Kelli Cargile Cook, Brenton D. Faber, David Clark
Venue: Proceedings of the 19th annual international conference on Computer documentation (2001)

In this panel session, the authors identify four different factors shaping the future of technical communication: user-centered design, corporate universities, cross-disciplinary collaboration, and knowledge management. The authors each address how factors once considered external to the field of technical communication are now becoming thoroughly integrated with it. These four studies, in conjunction, suggest how the field of technical communication is becoming increasingly complex and how participants (practitioners, researchers, and educators) will need to adapt to this new terrain.

Efficient longest executable path search for programs with complex flows and pipeline effects
Authors: Friedhelm Stappert, Andreas Ermedahl, Jakob Engblom
Venue: Proceedings of the 2001 international conference on Compilers, architecture, and synthesis for embedded systems (2001)

Current development tools for embedded real-time systems do not efficiently support the timing aspect. The most important timing parameter for scheduling and system analysis is the Worst-Case Execution Time (WCET) of a program.This paper presents a fast and effective WCET calculation method that takes account of low-level machine aspects like pipelining and caches, and high-level program flow like loops and infeasible paths. The method is more efficient than previous path-based approaches, and can easily handle complex programs. By separating the low-level from the high-level analysis, the method is easy to retarget.Experiments confirm that speed does not sacrifice precision, and that programs with extreme numbers of potential execution paths can be analyzed quickly.

The computer revolution in Canada: building national technological competence
Venue:  (2001)

After World War II, other major industrialized nations responded to the technological and industrial hegemony of the United States by developing their own design and manufacturing competence in digital electronic technology. In this book John Vardalas describes the quest for such competence in Canada, exploring the significant contributions of the civilian sector but emphasizing the role of the Canadian military in shaping radical technological change. As he shows, Canada's determination to be an active participant in research and development work on advanced weapons systems, and in the testing of those weapons systems, was a cornerstone of Canadian technological development during the years 1945-1980. Vardalas presents case studies of such firms as Ferranti-Canada, Sperry Gyroscope of Canada, and Control Data of Canada. In contrast to the standard nationalist interpretation of Canadian subsidiaries of transnational corporations as passive agents, he shows them to have been remarkably innovative and explains how their aggressive programs to develop all-Canadian digital R&D and manufacturing capacities influenced technological development in the United States and in Great Britain. While underlining the unprecedented role of the military in the creation of peacetime scientific and technical skills, Vardalas also examines the role of government and university research programs, including Canada's first computerized systems for mail sorting and airline reservations. Overall, he presents a nuanced account of how national economic, political, and corporate forces influenced the content, extent, and direction of digital innovation in Canada.
