Using FPGAs to accelerate High Performance Computing (HPC) applications is attractive, but has a huge associated cost: the time spent, not for developing efficient FPGA code but fo...
The Ptolemy project studies modeling, simulation, and design of concurrent, real-time, embedded systems. The focus is on assembly of concurrent components. The key underlying prin...

Synchronous Dataflow (SDF) is a powerful analysis tool for regular, cyclic, parallel task graphs. The behaviour of SDF graphs however is static and therefore not always able to ac...
In the design of hard real-time systems, the feasibility of the task set is one of the primary concerns. However, in embedded systems with scarce resources, optimizing resource us...
Calculating the worst-case execution time (WCET) of real-time tasks is still a tedious job. Programmers are required to provide additional information on the program flow, analyzi...
