Some of the most recent applications and services revolve around the analysis of time-series, which generally exhibits chaotic characteristics. This behavior brought back the necessity to simplify their representation to discover meaningful patterns and ...

ARM big.LITTLE architectures are spreading more and more in the mobile world thanks to their power-saving capabilities due to the use of two ISA-compatible islands, one focusing on energy efficiency and the other one on computational power. This ...

As system complexity grows, embedded operating systems increasingly face the challenge to adhere to various non-functional constraints, such as response times and power limits. These requirements sometimes contradict and, often, no solution satisfies ...

In a quest for making FPGA technology more accessible to the software community, Xilinx recently released PYNQ, a framework for Zynq that relies on Python and overlays to ease the integration of functionalities of the programmable logic into ...

Intermittently-powered embedded devices (IPDs) are getting wide-spread attention these days. However, running periodic real-time tasks on these devices remains a challenging problem due to the lack of support for data freshness guarantees, timekeeping, ...

Virtualization is the main building block of many architectures and systems from embedded computing to large scale data-centers. Managing efficiently computing resources and their power consumption becomes fundamental to optimize the performance of the ...

Hands-on experience is crucial to truly understanding the principles of operating systems (OS). This paper describes a preemptive, multithreaded embedded OS assigned as a project in a junior-level OS course. It targets the popular 8051 instruction set ...

In the last few years Internet of Things (IoT) applications are moving from the cloud-sensor paradigm to a more variegated structure where IoT nodes interact with an intermediate fog computing layer. To enable compute-intensive tasks to be executed near ...
