Web services have been widely adopted in business applications using PC-based servers as their main implementation platform. However, the nowadays growing computational and communication power of the FPGA devices allows its implementation taking advantage of the special features that those platforms offer. In this work we propose a reconfigurable architecture to support web services that reduces the cost and maintenance of the system and increases the security and robustness of the service. The feasibility of our approach is demonstrated by developing a specific service, called WoLI, which allows the remote wake up of network nodes over internet. The prototype has been proved and tested in a real environment where the service is accessible from any client able to support standard communication with a Web server.","PeriodicalId":372678,"journal":{"name":"2008 4th Southern Conference on Programmable Logic","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131584407","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

According to that, we have implemented a hardware that demonstrates how this kind of applications can be accelerated in a huge grade using the proper solution. The hardware was implemented on a FPGA; thanks to it, the execution times were very reduced, showing a very promising speedup compared against an only software solution.","PeriodicalId":372678,"journal":{"name":"2008 4th Southern Conference on Programmable Logic","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130347450","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, there are still many concerns about the reliability of these devices in high-radiation environments, particularly due to the possibility of single-event upsets (SEUs) in the configuration memory. This paper presents an architecture for implementing radiation-hardened SoCs based on FPGAs. Previous works used triple module redundancy (TMR) techniques together with scrubbing mechanisms based on partial reconfiguration. However, these solutions required external configuration controllers that increased the system complexity and deviated the design from the SoC principles. The proposed architecture uses novel self- reconfiguration techniques in order to eliminate the need for external components, so that a full radiation-hardened SoC can be implemented in a single FPGA. Since self- reconfiguration allows for on-board remote hardware updates, reliability is tackled at two key levels: Radiation- hardened operation and hardware upgradeability to solve design errors.","PeriodicalId":372678,"journal":{"name":"2008 4th Southern Conference on Programmable Logic","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123524350","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

So, a practical methodology for developing an FPGA- based computing solution for the quasi ID Euler equations is applied to the Sod's \"shock tube\" problem.

These are battery-fed and may be implemented in VLSI technology and/or FPGAs (Field Programmable Gate Array). Since the batteries must have long life, reduction of energy consumption is the most important task in the design of such systems. In order to reduce dissipated power, a number of strategies have been suggested in the literature for both controllers and datapaths. In this article we suggest an approach that applies a new strategy for the synthesis of the low- consumption synchronous controllers. Our method synthesizes synchronous controllers that work at the two transition edges of clock signals, but only uses flip-flops that work at a single clock edge.","PeriodicalId":372678,"journal":{"name":"2008 4th Southern Conference on Programmable Logic","volume":"387 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122781468","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The new advances refer to increasing the applicability of this watermarking technique to any design and the provision of an automatic tool for signature hosting that, in addition to easy the signature hosting, leads to reduced area penalties. Synthesis results show that the application of the proposed watermarking strategy results in negligible degradation of system performance and very low area penalties.","PeriodicalId":372678,"journal":{"name":"2008 4th Southern Conference on Programmable Logic","volume":"335 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116537183","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
