Abstract
High capacity L4 architectures as Last-Level-Cache (LLC) have been recently introduced between L3-SRAM and off-chip memory. These LLC architectures have either employed DRAM or Spin-Transfer-Torque (STT-RAM) memory technologies. It is a known fact that DRAM LLCs feature a higher energy consumption while STT-RAM LLCs feature a lower write endurance compared to their counterparts. This paper proposes an efficient hybrid DRAM/STT-RAM LLC architecture that exploits the best characteristics offered by the individual memory technologies while mitigating their drawbacks. More precisely, we introduce a novel mechanism for the storage and management of the hybrid LLC tags, and a proactive L3-SRAM writeback policy that combines multiple dirty blocks that are mapped to the same LLC row. Our hybrid architecture reduces LLC interference by having less writeback accesses and row fetches. The endurance is improved by reducing the number of STT-RAM block writes. We show that our LLC architecture reduces the total number of STT-RAM block writes by 78% and improves the average performance by 13% compared to a recently proposed STT- RAM LLC. Compared to the state-of-the-art DRAM LLC, we report an average energy and performance improvement of 24% and 17.1% respectively.

Abstract
Programming manycores remains a daunting task, especially in the presence of the heterogeneity and application constraints typical in the embedded domain. This talk reviews efforts to cope with this complexity from the last 10+ years of research. It starts with the challenges faced by auto-parallelizing compilers, discussing how far they have made it since the start of the multi-core era. The talk also reviews explicit parallel programming and associated programming methodologies, with focus on recent advances that aim at increasing the adaptivity and robustness of dataflow applications. The talk then advocates for even higher-level programming abstractions in the form of domain specific languages, particularly important to deal with the increased complexity brought by emerging computing paradigms.

Abstract
Computing systems continue to increase in complexity, today including multiple cores, complex memory hierarchies and domain-specific accelerators, and soon with components built with emerging hardware technologies. This complexity calls for advances in a variety of domains, like programming and modeling languages, models of hardware, system simulators, design exploration methodologies and hardware architectures. From the standpoint of programming languages and compilers, this lecture discusses the challenges in mainstream sequential programming to motivate higher-level abstractions. It then provides an introduction to dataflow programming methodologies as a promising solution for embedded applications. We will review the fundamentals of dataflow models of computation, basic programming methodologies and look at current research to account for the adaptivity that new applications require, especially in the context of cyber physical systems. The lecture closes with an outlook on higher level programming abstractions and challenges posed by emerging computing architectures.

Abstract
Dataflow execution models are used to build highly scalable parallel systems. A programming model that targets parallel dataflow execution must answer the following question: How can parallelism between two dependent nodes in a dataflow graph be exploited? This is difficult when the dataflow language or programming model is implemented by a monad, as is common in the functional community, since expressing dependence between nodes by a monadic bind suggests sequential execution. Even in monadic constructs that explicitly separate state from computation, problems arise due to the need to reason about opaquely defined state. Specifically, when abstractions of the chosen programming model do not enable adequate reasoning about state, it is difficult to detect parallelism between composed stateful computations. In this paper, we propose a programming model that enables the composition of stateful computations and still exposes opportunities for parallelization. We also introduce smap, a higher-order function that can exploit parallelism in stateful computations. We present an implementation of our programming model and smap in Haskell and show that basic concepts from functional reactive programming can be built on top of our programming model with little effort. We compare these implementations to a state-of-the-art approach using monad-par and LVars to expose parallelism explicitly and reach the same level of performance, showing that our programming model successfully extracts parallelism that is present in an algorithm. Further evaluation shows that smap is expressive enough to implement parallel reductions and our programming model resolves short-comings of the stream-based programming model for current state-of-the-art big data processing systems.

Abstract
Tensor contraction is a fundamental operation in many algorithms with a plethora of applications ranging from quantum chemistry over fluid dynamics and image processing to machine learning. The performance of tensor computations critically depends on the efficient utilization of on-chip memories. In the context of low-power embedded devices, efficient management of the memory space becomes even more crucial, in order to meet energy constraints. This work aims at investigating strategies for performance- and energy-efficient tensor contractions on embedded systems, using racetrack memory (RTM)-based scratch-pad memory (SPM). Compiler optimizations such as the loop access order and data layout transformations paired with architectural optimizations such as prefetching and preshifting are employed to reduce the shifting overhead in RTMs. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed optimizations improve the SPM performance and energy consumption by 24% and 74% respectively compared to an iso-capacity SRAM.

Abstract
Good benchmarks are hard to find because they require a substantial effort to keep them representative for the constantly changing challenges of a particular field. Synthetic benchmarks are a common approach to deal with this, and methods from machine learning are natural candidates for synthetic benchmark generation. In this paper we investigate the usefulness of machine learning in the prominent CLgen benchmark generator. We re-evaluate CLgen by comparing the benchmarks generated by the model with the raw data used to train it. This re-evaluation indicates that, for the use case considered, machine learning did not yield additional benefit over a simpler method using the raw data. We investigate the reasons for this and provide further insights into the challenges the problem could pose for potential future generators.

Abstract
Each of the popular tensor frameworks from the machine learning domain comes with its own language for expressing tensor kernels. Since these tensor languages lack precise specifications, it is impossible to understand and reason about tensor kernels that exhibit unexpected behaviour. In this paper, we give examples of such kernels. The tensor languages are superficially similar to the well-known functional array languages, for which formal definitions often exist. However, the tensor languages are inherently imperative. In this paper we present TeIL, an imperative tensor intermediate language with precise formal semantics. For the popular tensor languages, TeIL can serve as a common ground on the basis of which precise reasoning about kernels becomes possible. Based on TeIL s formal semantics we develop a type-safety result in the Coq proof assistant.

Abstract
The design of a system on chip has traditionally been one of the most complex tasks in computing systems. Designers have to deal with stringent application constraints under a low-power budget while reducing non-recurring engineering costs. Modeling languages, costs models of hardware, system simulators, design exploration methodologies and alike have made it possible to cope with this high complexity. Today, three recent trends represent a non trivial complexity increase and thus a challenge for SoC designers and programmers, namely, 1) additional system dynamics in the context of the Internet of Things, 2) the ubiquity of machine learning workloads, and 3) the added complexity brought by specialization and emerging technologies. This talk discusses how models and higher level programming abstractions can be leveraged to cope with these trends. A dataflow programming methodology is extended to account for dynamic execution scenarios at runtime. A tensor abstraction, common in machine learning, is introduced that eases programming and design tasks. Finally, the talk shows how the tensor abstraction is useful to efficiently map tensor computations to SoCs with non-volatile racetrack scratch-pad memory.

Abstract
Racetrack memories (RMs) have significantly evolved since their conception in 2008, making them a serious contender in the field of emerging memory technologies. Despite key technological advancements, the access latency and energy consumption of an RM-based system are still highly influenced by the number of shift operations. These operations are required to move bits to the right positions in the racetracks. This paper presents data placement techniques for RMs that maximize the likelihood that consecutive references access nearby memory locations at runtime thereby minimizing the number of shifts. We present an integer linear programming (ILP) formulation for optimal data placement in RMs, and revisit existing offset assignment heuristics, originally proposed for random-access memories. We introduce a novel heuristic tailored to a realistic RM and combine it with a genetic search to further improve the solution. We show a reduction in the number of shifts of up to 52.5%, outperforming the state of the art by up to 16.1%.

Abstract
We have seen several inflection points in computing in this century: from single to multi-core, from homogeneous to heterogeneous, and in the near future to fundamentally new computing paradigms with emerging technologies. With domain-specific hardware becoming mainstream, and programming reaching out to professions outside computer science, higher-level programming abstractions, domain-specific languages (DSLs) and tools are badly needed. This talk provides examples of such programming abstractions as a basis for discussion. It first discusses how dataflow programming models from the embedded domain can be leveraged in more general purpose setups. It then presents DSLs for particle-based simulations and for tensor expressions. The latter is one example of multiple tensor DSLs available today, spawned by the recent machine learning boom. The talk closes with examples of emerging technologies and a brief discussion about how they may impact our current assumptions.

Abstract
The increasing demands of modern embedded systems, such as high-performance and energy-efficiency, have motivated the use of heterogeneous multi-core platforms enabled by Multiprocessor System-on-Chips (MPSoCs). To fully exploit the power of these platforms, new tools are needed to address the increasing software complexity to achieve a high productivity. An MPSoC compiler is a tool-chain to tackle the problems of application modeling, platform description, software parallelization, software distribution and code generation for an efficient usage of the target platform. This chapter discusses various aspects of compilers for heterogeneous embedded multi-core systems, using the well-established single-core C compiler technology as a baseline for comparison. After a brief introduction to the MPSoC compiler technology, the important ingredients of the compilation process are explained in detail. Finally, a number of case studies from academia and industry are presented to illustrate the concepts discussed in this chapter.

Abstract
Application requirements for embedded systems are growing rapidly, as is the complexity of systems designed to execute them. A common abstraction used to tame this growing complexity is that of a mapping, which assigns parts of an application to different hardware resources. Modern flows need to explore an intractably large design space of mappings, and be able to quickly find near-optimal mappings for different objectives, sometimes at runtime. With systems featuring thousands of cores in the near horizon, we need methods to make this exploration step truly scalable. In this paper we argue that the mathematical representation of a mapping is central to achieve this.

abstract = {Application requirements for embedded systems are growing rapidly, as is the complexity of systems designed to execute them. A common abstraction used to tame this growing complexity is that of a mapping, which assigns parts of an application to different hardware resources. Modern flows need to explore an intractably large design space of mappings, and be able to quickly find near-optimal mappings for different objectives, sometimes at runtime. With systems featuring thousands of cores in the near horizon, we need methods to make this exploration step truly scalable. In this paper we argue that the mathematical representation of a mapping is central to achieve this. We present different representations and how these could be applied to different contexts and objectives, like complex design- space exploration meta-heuristics or efficient runtime systems.},

Abstract
Plenty of novel emerging technologies are being proposed and evaluated today, mostly at the device and circuit levels. It is unclear what the impact of different new technologies at the system level will be. What is clear, however, is that new technologies will make their way into systems and will increase the already high complexity of heterogeneous parallel computing platforms, making it ever so difficult to program them. This paper discusses a programming stack for heterogeneous systems that combines and adapts well-understood principles from different areas, including capability-based operating systems, adaptive application runtimes, dataflow programming models, and model checking. We argue why we think that these principles built into the stack and the interfaces among the layers will also be applicable to future systems that integrate heterogeneous technologies. The programming stack is evaluated on a tiled heterogeneous multicore.

Abstract
Recent research has proposed having a die-stacked last-level cache (LLC) to overcome the memory wall. Lately, spin-transfer-torque random access memory (STT-RAM) caches have received attention, since they provide improved energy efficiency compared with DRAM caches. However, recently proposed STT-RAM cache architectures unnecessarily dissipate energy by fetching unneeded cache lines (CLs) into the row buffer (RB). In this paper, we propose a selective read policy for the STT-RAM which fetches those CLs into the RB that are likely to be reused. In addition, we propose a tags-update policy that reduces the number of STT-RAM writebacks. This reduces the number of reads/writes and thereby decreases the energy consumption. To reduce the latency penalty of our selective read policy, we propose the following performance optimizations: 1) an RB tags-bypass policy that reduces STT-RAM access latency; 2) an LLC data cache that stores the CLs that are likely to be used in the near future; 3) an address organization scheme that simultaneously reduces LLC access latency and miss rate; and 4) a tags-to-column mapping policy that improves access parallelism. For evaluation, we implement our proposed architecture in the Zesto simulator and run different combinations of SPEC2006 benchmarks on an eight-core system. We compare our approach with a recently proposed STT-RAM LLC with subarray parallelism support and show that our synergistic policies reduce the average LLC dynamic energy consumption by 75% and improve the system performance by 6.5%. Compared with the state-of-the-art DRAM LLC with subarray parallelism, our architecture reduces the LLC dynamic energy consumption by 82% and improves system performance by 6.8%.

Abstract
Domain-specific languages (DSLs) are of increasing importance in scientific high-performance computing to reduce development costs, raise the level of abstraction and, thus, ease scientific programming. However, designing DSLs is not easy, as it requires knowledge of the application domain and experience in language engineering and compilers. Consequently, many DSLs follow a weak approach using macros or text generators, which lack many of the features that make a DSL comfortable for programmers. Some of these features —e.g., syntax highlighting, type inference, error reporting— are easily provided by language workbenches, which combine language engineering techniques and tools in a common ecosystem. In this paper, we present the Parallel Particle-Mesh Environment (PPME), a DSL and development environment for numerical simulations based on particle methods and hybrid particle-mesh methods. PPME uses the Meta Programming System (MPS), a projectional language workbench. PPME is the successor of the Parallel Particle-Mesh Language, a Fortran-based DSL that uses conventional implementation strategies. We analyze and compare both languages and demonstrate how the programmer’s experience is improved using static analyses and projectional editing, i.e., code-structure editing, constrained by syntax, as opposed to free-text editing. We present an explicit domain model for particle abstractions and the first formal type system for partircle methods.

Abstract
Large infrastructures of Internet companies, such as Facebook and Twitter, are composed of several layers of micro-services. While this modularity provides scalability to the system, the I/O associated with each service request strongly impacts its performance. In this context, writing concise programs which execute I/O efficiently is especially challenging. In this paper, we introduce Ÿauhau, a novel compile-time solution. Ÿauhau reduces the number of I/O calls through rewrites on a simple expression language. To execute I/O concurrently, it lowers the expression language to a dataflow representation. Our approach can be used alongside an existing programming language, permitting the use of legacy code. We describe an implementation in the JVM and use it to evaluate our approach. Experiments show that Ÿauhau can significantly improve I/O, both in terms of the number of I/O calls and concurrent execution. Ÿauhau outperforms state-of-the-art approaches with similar goals.

Abstract
Big data systems scale with the number of cores in a cluster for the parts of an application that can be executed in data parallel fashion. It has been recently reported, however, that these systems fail to translate hardware improvements, such as increased network bandwidth, into a higher throughput. This is particularly the case for applications that have inherent sequential, computationally intensive phases. In this paper, we analyze the data processing cores of state-of-the-art big data systems to find the cause for these scalability problems. We identify design patterns in the code that are suitable for pipeline and task-level parallelism, potentially increasing application performance. As a proof of concept, we rewrite parts of the Hadoop MapReduce framework in an implicit parallel language that exploits this parallelism without adding code complexity. Our experiments on a data analytics workload show throughput speedups of up to 3.5x.

Abstract
Numerical simulations continue to enable fast and enormous progress in science and engineering. Writing efficient numerical codes is a difficult challenge that encompasses a variety of tasks from designing the right algorithms to exploiting the full potential of a platform s architecture. Domain-specific languages (DSLs) can ease these tasks by offering the right abstractions for expressing numerical problems. With the aid of domain knowledge, efficient code can then be generated automatically from abstract expressions. In this work, we present the CFDlang DSL for expressing tensor operations that constitute the performance-critical code sections in a class of real numerical applications from fluid dynamics. We demonstrate that CFDlang can be used to generate code automatically that performs as well, if not better, than carefully hand-optimized code.

Abstract
Modern embedded systems are rapidly increasing their complexity, both in terms of numbers of cores, as well as heterogeneity. To generate efficient code for these systems, it is common to leverage formal models of computation. Among these, the dataflow model of Kahn Process Networks (KPN) is widespread because it is expressive but guarantees a deterministic execution. However, the KPN model is ill-suited to expose data-level parallelism, since this has to be made explicit in the process network. This is aggravated by the fact that its most common execution model, Kahn-MacQueen, poses restrictive conditions on the scheduling of data-parallel processes, leading to an inefficient execution. In this paper we present a novel extension to the KPN model and a relaxed execution strategy that addresses this problem, while keeping the deterministic KPN semantics. It improves run-time adaptivity in malleable way and provides implicit parallelism. We evaluate our approach on two architectures, improving the performance of a benchmark by up to 25.6% on an Intel chip with hyper-threading, and by up to 78.0% on a heterogeneous embedded ARM big.LITTLE architecture.

Abstract
With the surge of multi- and manycores, much research has focused on algorithms for mapping and scheduling on these complex platforms. Large classes of these algorithms face scalability problems. This is why diverse methods are commonly used for reducing the search space. While most such approaches leverage the inherent symmetry of architectures and applications, they do it in a problem-specific and intuitive way. However, intuitive approaches become impractical with growing hardware complexity, like Network-on-Chip interconnect or heterogeneous cores. In this paper, we present a formal framework that can determine the inherent symmetry of architectures and applications algorithmically and leverage these for problems in software synthesis. Our approach is based on the mathematical theory of groups and a generalization called inverse semigroups. We evaluate our approach in two state-of-the-art mapping frameworks. Even for the platforms with a handful of cores of today and moderate-size benchmarks, our approach consistently yields reductions of the overall execution time of algorithms, accelerating them by a factor up to 10 in our experiments, or improving the quality of the results.

[doi]
Abstract
SystemC TLM based virtual prototypes have become the main tool in industry and research for concurrent hardware and software development, as well as hardware design space exploration. However, there exists a lack of accurate, free, changeable and realistic SystemC models of modern CPUs. Therefore, many researchers use the cycle accurate open source system simulator gem5, which has been developed in parallel to the SystemC standard. In this paper we present a coupling of gem5 with SystemC that offers full interoperability between both simulation frameworks, and therefore enables a huge set of possibilities for system level design space exploration. Furthermore, we show that the coupling itself only induces a relatively small overhead to the total execution time of the simulation.

Abstract
Technological advances drive hardware to ever smaller feature sizes, causing devices to become more vulnerable to faults. Applications can be protected against errors resulting from faults by adding error detection and recovery measures in software. This is popularly achieved by applying automatic program transformations. However, transformations applied to intermediate program representations are fundamentally incapable of protecting against vulnerabilities that are introduced during compilation. In particular, the compiler backend may introduce additional memory accesses. This report presents an extended compiler backend that protects these accesses against faults in the memory system. It is demonstrated that this enables the detection of all single bit flips in memory. On a subset of SPEC CINT2006 the runtime overhead caused by the extended backend amounts to 1.50x for the 32-bit processor architecture i386, and 1.13x for the 64-bit architecture x86 64.

Abstract
The use of heterogeneous Multi-Processor System-on-Chip (MPSoC) is a widely accepted solution to address the increasing demands on high performance and energy efficiency for modern embedded devices. To enable the full potential of these platforms, new tools are needed to tackle the programming complexity of MPSoCs, while allowing for high productivity. This chapter discusses the MPSoC Application Programming Studio (MAPS), a framework that provides facilities for expressing parallelism and tool flows for parallelization, mapping/scheduling, and code generation for heterogeneous MPSoCs. Two case studies of the use of MAPS in commercial environments are presented. This chapter closes by discussing early experiences of transferring the MAPS technology into Silexica GmbH, a start-up company that provides multi-core programming tools.

Abstract
State-of-the-art DRAM cache employs a small Tag-Cache and its performance is dependent upon two important parameters namely bank-level-parallelism and Tag-Cache hit rate. These parameters depend upon the row buffer organization. Recently, it has been shown that a small row buffer organization delivers better performance via improved bank-level-parallelism than the traditional large row buffer organization along with energy benefits. However, small row buffers do not fully exploit the temporal locality of tag accesses, leading to reduced Tag- Cache hit rates. As a result, the DRAM cache needs to be re-designed for small row buffer organization to achieve additional performance benefits. In this paper, we propose a novel tag-store mechanism that improves the Tag-Cache hit rate by 70% compared to existing DRAM tag-store mechanisms employing small row buffer organization. In addition, we enhance the DRAM cache controller with novel policies that take into account the locality characteristics of cache accesses. We evaluate our novel tag-store mechanism and controller policies in an 8-core system running the SPEC2006 benchmark and compare their performance and energy consumption against recent proposals. Our architecture improves the average performance by 21.2% and 11.4% respectively compared to large and small row buffer organizations via simultaneously improving both parameters. Compared to DRAM cache with large row buffer organization, we report an energy improvement of 62%.

Abstract
Errors in memory are known to be a major cause of system failures. Moreover, it has recently been found that single-error correcting, double-error detecting (SECDED) codes, which are widely used in ECC memory modules, are incapable of handling large fractions of errors that occur in practice. This calls for more powerful error detection measures. However, the higher the number of bit flips that can still be detected as an error, the larger the memory overhead. Cost considerations and the varying needs for reliability of different applications may not always warrant laying down extra hardware to accommodate overheads. Software-implemented error detection offers a flexible alternative. In this work we propose the software-implemented flexMEDiC scheme for detecting errors in the memory system, including main memory, on-chip caches, and load-store queues. It is shown that single and double bit flips are detected by flexMEDiC, and evidence is given that suggests that up to five bit flips within a single data word can still be detected as errors. The average runtime overhead incurred by flexMEDiC is 1.55x.

Abstract
Future systems based on post-CMOS technologies will be wildly heterogeneous, with properties largely unknown today. This paper presents our design of a new hardware/software stack to address the challenge of preparing software development for such systems. It combines well-understood technologies from different areas, e.g., network-on-chips, capability operating systems, flexible programming models and model checking. We describe our approach and provide details on key technologies.

Prime examples of such abstractions are Kahn Process Networks (KPNs) and execution traces. When modeling computation as a KPN, one of the key challenges is to obtain a good mapping, i.e., an assignment of logical computation and communication to physical resources. In this paper we compare two system-level frameworks for solving the mapping problem: Sesame and MAPS. These frameworks, while superficially similar, embody different approaches. Sesame, motivated by modeling and design-space exploration, uses evolutionary algorithms for mapping. MAPS, being a compiler framework, uses simple and fast heuristics instead. In this work we highlight the value of common abstractions, such as KPNs and traces, as a vehicle to enable comparisons between large independent frameworks. These types of comparisons are fundamental for advancing research in the area. At the same time, we illustrate how the lack of formalized models at the hardware level are an obstacle to achieving fair comparisons. Additionally, using a set of applications from the embedded systems domain, we observe that genetic algorithms tend to outperform heuristics by a factor between 1x and 5x, with notable exceptions. This performance comes at the cost of a longer computation time, between 0 and 2 orders of magnitude in our experiments.

Abstract
In deeply embedded heterogeneous multicores the allocation of data to memories is crucial for application performance. For applications with stringent throughput constraints, the allocation is often done manually by carefully assigning static memory locations to the logical buffers of the application. Today, designers are confronted with applications with thousands of buffers and architectures with hundreds of memories, rendering manual approaches impractical. In this paper we present an automatic approach for statically allocating logical buffers to physical memories, assuming a fixed task-to-processor mapping and respecting multiple throughput constraints. In our approach, we model the application in a data-centric way, by explicitly defining buffers and associating computational tasks that access the buffers within well-specified time intervals. Besides, we use an architecture model that allows to perform an allocation that is aware of the topology of the multicore and the physical bandwidth constraints of the interconnect. We present a layered approach to describe and solve the buffer-allocation problem as well as related subproblems, using mixed-integer linear pro- gramming. We show that the buffer-allocation problem is NP-complete, and present a more scalable formulation as a semi-definite programming problem. We evaluate the proposed LP methods by allocating around 1000 buffers corresponding to processing one frame in the Long-Term Evolution (LTE) standard, onto a multicore with 80 processing elements. We introduce a solution approach that allowed to find an optimal allocation in around 2 hours, which is at least two orders of magnitude faster than a straightforward formulation.

Abstract
Current approaches for mapping Kahn Process Networks (KPN) and Dynamic Data Flow (DDF) applications rely on assumptions on the program behavior specific to an execution. Thus, a near-optimal mapping, computed for a given input data set, may become sub-optimal at run-time. This happens when a different data set induces a significantly different behavior. We address this problem by leveraging inherent mathematical structures of the dataflow models and the hardware architectures. On the side of the dataflow models, we rely on the monoid structure of histories and traces. This structure help us formalize the behavior of multiple executions of a given dynamic application. By defining metrics we have a formal framework for comparing the executions. On the side of the hardware, we take advantage of symmetries in the architecture to reduce the search space for the mapping problem. We evaluate our implementation on execution variations of a randomly-generated KPN application and on a low-variation JPEG encoder benchmark. Using the described methods we show that trace differences are not sufficient for characterizing performance losses. Additionally, using platform symmetries we manage to reduce the design space in the experiments by two orders of magnitude.

Abstract
Programming models based on dataflow or process networks are a good match for streaming applications, common in the signal processing, multimedia and automotive domains. In such models, parallelism is expressed explicitly which makes them well-suited for programming parallel machines. Since today s applications are no longer static, expressive programming models are needed, such as those based on Kahn Process Networks (KPNs). In these models, tasks cannot be handled as black boxes, but have to be analyzed, profiled and traced to characterize their behavior. This is especially important in the case of heterogenous platforms with many processors of multiple different types. This presentation describes a tool flow to handle KPN applications and gives insights into mapping algorithms for heterogeneous platforms.

Abstract
In recent years, architectures combining a reconfigurable fabric and a general purpose processor on a single chip became increasingly popular. Such hybrid architectures allow extending embedded software with application specific hardware accelerators to improve performance and/or energy efficiency. Aiding system designers and programmers at handling the complexity of the required process of hardware/software (HW/SW) partitioning is an important issue. Current methods are often restricted, either to bare-metal systems, to subsets of mainstream programming languages, or require special coding guidelines, e.g., via annotations. These restrictions still represent a high entry barrier for the wider community of programmers that new hybrid architectures are intended for. In this paper we revisit HW/SW partitioning and present a seamless programming flow for unrestricted, legacy C code. It consists of a retargetable GCC plugin that automatically identifies code sections for hardware acceleration and generates code accordingly. The proposed workflow was evaluated on the Xilinx Zynq platform using unmodified code from an embedded benchmark suite.

Abstract
In order to perform reliable computations on unreliable hardware, software-based protection mechanisms have been proposed. In this paper we present a compiler infrastructure for software-based code hardening based on encoding. We analyze the trade-off between performance and fault coverage. We look at different code generation strategies that improve the performance of hardened programs by up to 2x while incurring little fault coverage degradation.
