Today’s feature-rich multimedia products require embedded system solution with complex System-on-Chip (SoC) to meet market expectations of high performance at low cost and lower energy consumption. SoCs are complex designs with multiple embedded processors, memory subsystems, and application specific peripherals. The memory architecture of embedded SoCs strongly influences the area, power and performance of the entire system. Further, the memory subsystem constitutes a major part (typically up to 70%) of the silicon area for the current day SoC. The on-chip memory organization of embedded processors varies widely from one SoC to another, depending on the application and market segment for which the SoC is deployed. There is a wide variety of choices available for the embedded designers, starting from simple on-chip SPRAM based architecture to more complex cache-SPRAM based hybrid architecture. The performance of a memory architecture also depends on how the data variables of the application are placed in the memory. There are multiple data layouts for each memory architecture that are efficient from a power and performance viewpoint. Further, the designer would be interested in multiple optimal design points to address various market segments. Hence a memory architecture exploration for an embedded system involves evaluating a large design space in the order of 100,000 of design points and each design points having several tens of thousands of data layouts. Due to its large impact on system performance parameters, the memory architecture is often hand-crafted by experienced designers exploring a very small subset of this design space. The vast memory design space prohibits any possibility for a manual analysis. In this work, we propose an automated framework for on-chip memory architecture exploration. Our proposed framework integrates memory architecture exploration and data layout to search the design space efficiently. While the memory exploration selects specific memory architectures, the data layout efficiently maps the given application on to the memory architecture under consideration and thus helps in evaluating the memory architecture. The proposed memory exploration framework works at both logical and physical memory architecture level. Our work addresses on-chip memory architecture for DSP processors that is organized as multiple memory banks, with each back can be a single/dual port banks and with non-uniform bank sizes. Further, our work also address memory architecture exploration for on-chip memory architectures that is SPRAM and cache based. Our proposed method is based on multi-objective Genetic Algorithm based and outputs several hundred Pareto-optimal design solutions that are interesting from a area, power and performance viewpoints within a few hours of running on a standard desktop configuration.

From the bigger knowledge about the Vereda subsystem is possible to characterize it as a Cerrado typical landscape, which has as its symbol, the Buriti palm (Mauritia vinifera Mart.) generally it is built since a drainage system surface regulated by regional climate regime. The Vereda subsystem has a great relationship with higher soil moisture, which can be obtained from the leakage of the water table, poor drainage of an area or proximity to waterways. Its importance is due to be generally in headwater areas, but can occur in other environments, besides being a refuge for fauna and flora. The balance of Vereda subsystem is essential for the maintenance of water resources in Cerrado. Given the importance of the Vereda subsystem, is the purpose of this study, in which we seek to know it better. Thus, our aim was to understand the factors of origin and development of Vereda subsystem, as well as the analysis of its geomorphological modeling in different area of the traditional tabular surface, performing this analysis in the municipality of Goiandira, which is located in Goiás Southeast, in order to be a spatial area that presents particular landscape, helping the development of research, besides being a good representation of Cerrado area and also the Biome socio-economic occupation process, with livestock as the main activity responsible for the land use. By analyzing the current geomorphological modeling and field research found that this is perfectly capable to represent the Vereda subsystem which is presented all over the Cerrado. However, it was required some changes in nomenclature and also a better characterization of each of the eight existing geomorphological models. In Goiandira city was found 100 Vereda subsystems that occur in less dissected areas and usually in places that provide a water table interception or moisture soil. It was found in the Goiandira municipality, six of eight geomorphological models of existing Vereda. It was also found that the main sources in the area surveyed are in Vereda environment and that they are going through an intense environmental degradation process and its preservation is necessary to maintain the water resources of the municipality and the region. / No presente estudo destaca-se o subsistema de Vereda, que integra as várias fitofisionomias típicas do Cerrado lhe conferindo grande especificidade paisagística. A partir do maior conhecimento sobre o subsistema de Vereda é possível caracterizá-lo como uma paisagem típica do Cerrado, que possui como símbolo, a palmeira buriti (Mauritia vinifera Mart.), geralmente constituí-se a partir de um sistema de drenagem superficial regulado pelo regime climático regional. O subsistema de Vereda possui grande relação com a alta umidade do solo, que pode ser proveniente do extravasamento do lençol aquífero, da má drenagem de uma área ou da proximidade a cursos de água. Sua importância ocorre em virtude de se constituir, geralmente, em áreas de nascentes, embora possa ocorrer em outros ambientes, além de ser um refúgio para a fauna e flora. O equilíbrio do subsistema de Vereda é fundamental para a manutenção dos recursos hídricos da região do Cerrado. Diante da importância do subsistema de Vereda, ocorre à proposição deste estudo, no qual busca-se conhecê-lo melhor. Desse modo, objetivou-se, compreender os fatores de origem e de desenvolvimento do subsistema de Vereda, bem como, a análise da sua modelagem geomorfológica em área diferente das tradicionais Superfícies Tabulares, realizando esta análise no município de Goiandira, que está localizado no Sudeste do estado de Goiás, tendo em vista ser um recorte espacial que apresenta particularidades paisagísticas, ajudando no desenvolvimento da pesquisa, além de ser uma área de boa representatividade do bioma Cerrado e também do processo de ocupação sócio-econômica do Bioma, tendo a pecuária como a principal atividade responsável pelo uso de suas terras. Com a análise da atual modelagem geomorfológica e a pesquisa de campo constatou-se que esta é perfeitamente capaz de representar o subsistema de Vereda presente em todo o bioma Cerrado. Entretanto, foram necessárias algumas alterações na nomenclatura e também uma melhor caracterização de cada um dos oito modelos geomorfológicos existentes. No município de Goiandira foram encontrados 100 subsistemas de Vereda que ocorrem em áreas menos dissecadas e, geralmente, locais em que o relevo proporciona a interceptação de um lençol aquífero ou alta umidade do solo. Foram encontrados no município de Goiandira, seis dos oito modelos geomorfológicos de Vereda existentes. Constatou-se também que as principais nascentes na área pesquisada encontram-se em ambiente de Vereda e que as mesmas, estão passando por um intenso processo de degradação ambiental, sendo necessária as suas preservações para a manutenção dos recursos hídricos do município e da região.

Les travaux de recherche détaillés dans ce document portent sur la conception et l’implantation d’un composant matériel jouant le rôle du sous-système cryptographique d’une radio logicielle sécurisée.A partir du début des années 90, les systèmes radios ont peu à peu évolué de la radio classique vers la radio logicielle. Le développement de la radio logicielle a permis l’intégration d’un nombre toujours plus grand de standards de communication sur une même plateforme matérielle. La réalisation concrète d’une radio logicielle sécurisée amène son concepteur à faire face à de nombreuses problématiques qui peuvent se résumer par la question suivante : Comment implanter un maximum de standards de communication sur une même plateforme matérielle et logicielle ? Ce document s’intéresse plus particulièrement à l’implantation des standards cryptographiques destinés à protéger les radiocommunications.Idéalement, la solution apportée à ce problème repose exclusivement sur l’utilisation de processeurs numériques. Cependant, les algorithmes cryptographiques nécessitent le plus souvent une puissance de calcul telle que leur implantation sous forme logicielle n’est pas envisageable. Il s’ensuit qu’une radio logicielle doit parfois intégrer des composants matériels dédiés dont l'utilisation entre en conflit avec la propriété de flexibilité propre aux radios logicielles.Or depuis quelques années, le développement de la technologie FPGA a changé la donne. En effet, les derniers FPGA embarquent un nombre de ressources logiques suffisant à l’implantation des fonctions numériques complexes utilisées par la radio logicielle. Plus précisément, la possibilité offerte par les FPGA d'être reconfiguré dans leur totalité (voir même partiellement pour les derniers d’entre eux) fait d’eux des candidats idéaux à l’implantation de composants matériels flexibles et évolutifs dans le temps. À la suite de ces constatations, des travaux de recherche ont été menés au sein de l’équipe Conception des Systèmes Numériques du Laboratoire IMS. Ces travaux ont d’abord débouché sur la publication d’une architecture de sous-système cryptographique pour la radio logicielle sécurisée telle qu’elle est définie par la Software Communication Architecture. Puis, ils se sont poursuivis par la conception et l’implantation d’un cryptoprocesseur multi-cœur dynamiquement reconfigurable sur FPGA. / The research detailed in this document deal with the design and implementation of a hardware integrated circuit intended to be used as a cryptographic sub-system in secure software defined radios.Since the early 90’s, radio systems have gradually evolved from traditional radio to software defined radio. Improvement of the software defined radio has enabled the integration of an increasing number of communication standards on a single radio device. The designer of a software defined radio faces many problems that can be summarized by the following question: How to implement a maximum of communication standards into a single radio device? Specifically, this work focuses on the implementation of cryptographic standards aimed to protect radio communications.Ideally, the solution to this problem is based exclusively on the use of digital processors. However, cryptographic algorithms usually require a large amount of computing power which makes their software implementation inefficient. Therefore, a secure software defined radio needs to incorporate dedicated hardware even if this usage is conflicting with the property of flexibility specific to software defined radios.Yet, in recent years, the improvement of FPGA circuits has changed the deal. Indeed, the latest FPGAs embed a number of logic gates which is sufficient to meet the needs of the complex digital functions used by software defined radios. The possibility offered by FPGAs to be reconfigured in their entirety (or even partially for the last of them) makes them ideal candidates for implementation of hardware components which have to be flexible and scalable over time.Following these observations, research was conducted within the Conception des Systèmes Numériques team of the IMS laboratory. These works led first to the publication of an architecture of cryptographic subsystem compliant with the security supplement of the Software Communication Architecture. Then, they continued with the design and implementation of a partially reconfigurable multi-core cryptoprocessor intended to be used in the latest FPGAs.

This work covers the implementation of a raw Ethernet communication module for the Open MPI message passing library. Thereby it focuses on both the reduction of the communication latency for small messages and maximum possible compatibility. Especially the need for particular network devices, adapted network device drivers or kernel patches is avoided. The work is divided into three major parts: First, the networking subsystem of the version 2.6 Linux kernel is analyzed. Second, an Ethernet protocol family is implemented as a loadable kernel module, consisting of a basic datagram protocol (EDP), providing connection-less and unreliable datagram transport, and a streaming protocol (ESP), providing connection-oriented, sequenced and reliable byte streams. The protocols use the standard device driver interface of the Linux kernel for data transmission and reception. Their services are made available to user-space applications through the standard socket interface. Last, the existing Open MPI TCP communication module is ported atop the ESP. With bare EDP/ESP sockets a message latency of about 30 us could be achieved for small messages, which compared to the TCP latency of about 40 us is a reduction of 25 %.

The European New Car Assessment Programme (Euro NCAP) performs several different tests to evaluate vehicles and rate their safety. Some of these tests are subsystem tests made to mimic different body parts of a pedestrian in an interaction with a vehicle. However, some criticism to the test method for the upper leg has been presented, stating that there is a discrepancy between this test method and a real-life interaction. Therefore, a modified test method for the upper leg has been proposed. The aim of this thesis was to evaluate the upper leg test method used today by Euro NCAP, and compare it with the proposed modified test method as well as to computer simulations with a Human Body Model (HBM). The evaluation was performed by comparing different parameters obtained in the two test methods. These have also been compared to computer simulations using a HBM in interaction with a passenger vehicle model. Prior to the evaluation of the test methods, the HBM was positioned into different stances to mimic postures in the human walking cycle. The vehicle model was positioned at four different heights, and three different impact points along the bonnet were used. The results showed that the different methods had their own advantages for some parameters. However, no general conclusion of which method showed the closest correlation to the HBM reference simulations could be determined. / European New Car Assessment Programme (Euro NCAP) utför flera olika tester för att utvärdera fordon och betygsätta deras säkerhet. Några av dessa tester sker med delsystem skapade för att efterlikna olika kroppsdelar hos en fotgängare i en kollision med ett fordon. Viss kritik har dock riktats mot testmetoden för lårben och höft, då studier visat att det finns en skillnad mellan testmetoden och en verklig kollision. En modifierad testmetod för lårbenet och höften har därför föreslagits. Syftet med detta examensarbete har varit att utvärdera testmetoden för lårben och höft, som idag används av Euro NCAP, och jämföra den med den föreslagna modifierade testmetoden men även datorsimuleringar med en humanmodell. Utvärderingen har genomförts genom att jämföra olika parametrar som erhållits från de två testmetoderna. Dessa parametrar har även jämförts med datorsimuleringar av fotgängarkollisioner med en humanmodell och en bilmodell. Humanmodellen positionerades i olika kroppsställningar innan utvärderingen av testmetoderna genomfördes. Detta för att efterlikna verkliga positioner i en mänsklig gångcykel. Bilmodellen positionerades vid fyra olika höjder och tre träffpunkter längs motorhuven användes. Resultaten visade att båda metoderna hade fördelar gentemot varandra för vissa parametrar. Ingen generell slutsats kunde dock dras om vilken metod som visade närmast korrelation till referenssimuleringarna med humanmodellen.

O objetivo é demonstrar que é possível observar as comunicações referentes à formação jurídico-dogmática da tipicidade penal desde a idéia de tipo penal fechado até a construção do tipo penal autopoiético. Com isso, permite-se abstrair a efetividade da norma penal incriminadora, além das limitações impostas pela dogmática jurídica. Para tanto, desenvolve-se uma descrição do estado da arte das principais teorias penalistas ligadas à configuração do tipo penal, iniciando pela doutrina causal/finalista, passando pelas novas questões jusfilosóficas ligadas ao funcionalismo (imputação objetiva), ponderando suas linhas constituintes e delimitando a pertinência de seus opositores. A dinâmica materializada pelo enfrentamento dessas distintas posturas provoca o desenvolvimento de uma nova semântica da concretização do tipo penal, apresentando-se / This argument holds an analysis about the criminal type in its various aspects, with the theoretical contribution provided by the systemic perspective of Niklas Luhmann. The goal is to demonstrate that it is possible to observe the communications concerning the legal-dogmatic formation of a penal typicality since the idea of a closed criminal type until the construction of the autopoietic criminal type. This allows a disregard of the effectiveness of the incriminating penal norm, beyond the limitations imposed by legal dogmatic. Therefore, a description of the artistic state of the primary penal theories connected to the configuration of the penal type must be created, starting from the causal/finalist doctrine, moving thru the new juridical/philosophical questioning linked to the functionalism (objective imputation), analyzing its constituting aspects and marking down the pertinence of it’s opposition. The dynamic materialized by the confronting of these two different postures, instigates the creation of a

L’objectif de cette thèse est d’apporter une réponse à la problématique d’adaptation automatique et dynamique des services numériques au sein des réseaux du futur (NGN). Pour cela, notre contribution s’articule autour d’un intergiciel qui prend en charge les fonctions de gestion du contexte pour les services numériques ; ceci pour permettre l’émergence de services numériques sensibles au contexte dans les réseaux du futur. L’originalité de ces travaux dans les NGN se situe dans le modèle de conception pour des services numériques sensibles au contexte où l’on découple la logique métier du service numérique de la logique de gestion du contexte. Plus spécifiquement nous définissons la notion de signature de contexte, propre à chaque service numérique, qui permet d’identifier les situations d’usage du service numérique et accompagne l’intergiciel dans le choix de la modalité d’exécution la plus performante. Elle est liée au service numérique sensible au contexte dès sa conception. Lors du déploiement du service dans le serveur d’applications, la signature de contexte est désolidarisée de la logique métier et se voit insérée dans la base de connaissance de l’intergiciel. La signature fait ainsi le lien entre l’intergiciel et le service numérique. Elle permet d’activer l’ensemble des fonctions de traitement du contexte que nous avons modélisées sous la forme d’une chaîne de traitement du contexte. Cette approche assure une séparation des deux logiques qui composent un service numérique sensible au contexte. Les concepteurs de tels services peuvent alors se concentrer sur le développement de la logique métier sans se soucier des fonctions de gestion du contexte / The era of fixed-mobile convergence is imminent, thanks to the Next Generation Network (NGN) paradigm. Such approaches encompass converged networks where users can use any kind of terminals and network access technologies.An utmost issue for NGN is to provide multimodal digital services, since the user’s terminal or network access are expected to change over time during his own session. This means services must be able to shift from one form of service delivery to another according to context updates. We propose to implement context awareness for digital services in NGNs by providing context-awareness to application servers hosted in a NGN. These services running on applications servers (AS) are consumed through a network using the client-server paradigm. In this situation, the context is composed of information about the network and features of the end-user terminal. We explain and implemente a novel architecture that makes AS taking into account the context-awareness of the digital service they host. The architecture employs application ontology in order to monitor the applications’ context. Moreover, when a new context-aware application is deployed on the application server, its context-logic (a set of SWRL rules which rely the domain ontology called context signature) is extracted from the application bundle. Each SWRL rule encodes a context-aware threshold for the application. When a rule is triggered at runtime, the application server notifies the application, so that the application change its service delivery modality, as the current context favors another service delivery modality different than the current one
