ON THE FEASIBILITY AND LIMITATIONS OF JUST-IN-TIME INSTRUCTION SET EXTENSION FOR FPGA-BASED RECONFIGURABLE PROCESSORS

On the Feasibility and Limitations of Just-in-Time Instruction Set Extension for FPGA-Based Reconfigurable Processors

Reconfigurable instruction set processors provide the possibility of tailor the instruction set of a CPU to a particular application.While this customization process could be performed during runtime in order to adapt the CPU to the currently executed workload, this use case has been hardly investigated.In this paper, we study the feasibility of mo

Capturing the rapid response of sediments to low-oxygen conditions with high temporal resolution gas concentration measurements

Low-oxygen conditions plague coastlines worldwide.At present, little is known about how the transition from normoxic to low or even no oxygen conditions alters sediment biogeochemical cycling and ultimately ecosystem functioning.Conventional sediment core incubations cannot capture rapid (<hourly) changes in biogenic gas fluxes that may occur du

A Cold Climate Wooden Home and Conflagration Danger Index: Justification and Practicability for Norwegian Conditions

The vast majority of fire-related deaths occur in residential buildings.Until recently, the fire risk for these buildings was only considered through static risk assessments or period-based assessments applying to certain periods of the year, e.g., Christmas holidays.However, for homes with indoor wooden panelling, especially in the ceiling, a dyna
