Rejuvenation of Diverse FPGA Softcores in a SoC

A field-programmable gate array (FPGA) is an integrated circuit designed to be reconfigured by the user after manufacturing to build a System-on-Chip (SoC) embedded device. The needed logic is usually implemented as a software image and then instantiated on the FPGA to inherit the nice properties of hardware, like higher speed and better security. Unfortunately, since the image itself, e.g., a Softcore that represents a Processing Unit, is a software, it is prone to faults and vulnerabilities that manifest after instantiation on the FPGA. Unfortunately, an Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) is

Abstract With increasing connectivity and reliance on machine intelligence to process ever-growing amounts of data, the question of how to arrange the required connectivity and computation arises. Traditional cloud computing approaches that centralize compute capability in a data center do not scale well to large scale distributed data sources that must then transmit data over constrained networks. Similarly, computing at the very edge of the network is often constrained by limited computational capacity and a lack of access to shared data. In-network computing has been proposed as a way of

Computing in the Specialization Era

In this talk I will discuss the shift towards hardware acceleration and show with several examples from industry and from research the large role that FPGAs are playing. I will hypothesize that we are in a new era where most of the established assumptions, rules of thumb, and accumulated wisdom about many aspects of computation in general and of data processing in particular no longer hold and need to be revisited.

Research Staff, Sensors
Hesham Omran worked as a Researcher with the Sensors Lab after obtaining his Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering under the supervision of Prof. Khaled Nabil Salama from King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST), Thuwal, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. He received the B.Sc. (with honors) and M.Sc. degrees from Ain Shams University, Cairo, Egypt, in 2007 and 2010, respectively, both in electrical engineering. From 2008 to 2011, he was a Research and Teaching Assistant with the Integrated Circuits Lab (ICL), Ain Shams University, and a Design Engineer with Si-Ware Systems (SWS)
