Maric, Bojan (Date of defense: 2014-05-16)
Increasing demand for implementing highly-miniaturized battery-powered ultra-low-cost systems (e.g., below 1 USD) in emerging applications such as body, urban life and environment monitoring, etc., has introduced many ...
Jakšić, Zoran (Date of defense: 2015-07-23)
The major problem in the future technology scaling is the variations in process parameters that are interpreted as imperfections in the development process. Moreover, devices are more sensitive to the environmental changes ...
Cabarcas Jaramillo, Felipe (Date of defense: 2011-09-19)
Technology improvements and power constrains have taken multicore architectures to dominate microprocessor designs over uniprocessors. At the same time, accelerator based architectures have shown that heterogeneous ...
Amiri Nehzad, Maryam (Date of defense: 2013-01-30)
The increasing demand for large and low cost wireless coverage, ranging from campus to city wide areas, has motivated a high interest in multi-hop communications with Wireless Mesh Networks (WMN) based on IEEE 802.11s as ...
Ruiz Ramírez, Marc (Date of defense: 2012-12-21)
L'augment de volum de tràfic IP provocat per l'increment de serveis multimèdia com HDTV o vídeo conferència planteja nous reptes als operadors de xarxa per tal de proveir transmissió de dades eficient. Tot i que les xarxes ...
Seyedi, Azamolsadat (Date of defense: 2016-02-02)
Computing technology has witnessed an inimitable progress in the last decades which is the result of CMOS technology scaling commensurate with Moore's law. Transistor feature sizes have shrunk to half at each generation, ...
Dot Artigas, Gem (Date of defense: 2016-07-26)
Dynamically typed languages are ubiquitous in today's applications. These languages ease the task of programmers but introduce significant runtime overheads since variables are neither declared nor bound to a particular ...
Bhagat, Indu (Date of defense: 2012-02-23)
This thesis takes a HW/SW collaborative approach to tackle the problem of computational inefficiency in a holistic manner. The hardware is redesigned by restraining the datapath to merely 16-bit datawidth (integer datapath ...
Vilanova García, Lluís (Date of defense: 2016-01-14)
Current software systems contain a multitude of software components: from simple libraries to complex plugins and services. System security and resiliency depends on being able to isolate individual components onto separate ...
Zhuang, Sicong (Date of defense: 2019-11-28)
Inter-node communication has turned out to be one of the determining factors of the performance on modern HPC systems. Furthermore, the situation only gets worse with the ever-incresing size of the cores involved. Hence, ...
Ozen, Guray (Date of defense: 2018-12-13)
Graphics Processing Units (GPU) have been widely adopted to accelerate the execution of HPC workloads due to their vast computational throughput, ability to execute a large number of threads inside SIMD groups in parallel ...
Álvarez Martínez, Carlos (Date of defense: 2007-05-16)
Esta tesis se enmarca en el ámbito de las técnicas de mejora de la eficiencia de ejecución (disminución del consumo y aumento de la velocidad) en el diseño de procesadores orientados a la ejecución de aplicaciones multimedia. ...
Touma, Rizkallah (Date of defense: 2019-01-25)
Data prefetching has long been used as a technique to improve access times to persistent data. It is based on retrieving data records from persistent storage to main memory before the records are needed. Data prefetching ...
Batbayar, Khulan (Date of defense: 2022-02-07)
Internet access is still unavailable to one-third of the world population due to the lack of infrastructure, high cost, and the digital divide. Many access-limited communities opt for shared Internet access where they build ...
Fas Millán, Miguel Ángel (Date of defense: 2019-11-22)
The gradual integration of remotely piloted aircraft systems (RPAS) in civil airspace, sharing airways with commercial flights, is expected to be completed once the legal issues and those regarding the unmanned traffic ...
Rumipamba Zambrano, Rubén Darío (Date of defense: 2019-03-14)
The ever demanding bandwidth requirements for supporting emerging telecom services such as ultra-high-definition video streaming, cloud computing, connected car, virtual/augmented reality, etc., bring to the fore the ...
León Gaixas, Sergio (Date of defense: 2018-06-29)
With an increasing number of devices and heterogeneous distributed applications, it is becoming evident that service delivered by the current Internet fall short to supply the actual Quality of Service (QoS) requirements ...
Njoroge Kahira, Albert (Date of defense: 2021-07-30)
