• Bandwidth-Aware Prefetching in Chip Multiprocessors 

      Grannæs, Marius (Master thesis, 2006)
      Chip Multiprocessors (CMP) are an increasingly popular architecture and increasing numbers of vendors are now offering CMP solutions. The shift to CMP architectures from uniprocessors is driven by the increasing complexity ...
    • Energy Aware RTOS for EFM32 

      Spalluto, Angelo (Master thesis, 2011)
      Power consumption is a major concern for portable or battery-operated devices.Recently, new low power consumption techniques have been used to achieveacceptable autonomy battery-powered systems. FreeRTOS is a real-time ...
    • Energy Harvesting for Sensor Nodes in the Internet of Things 

      Castillo, Erick (Master thesis, 2015)
      Wireless sensor networks have an extensive range of applications in the real world. From military uses saving lives, to environmental applications monitoring the fauna and weather conditions, but also by checking the health ...
    • FPGA Framework for CMP 

      Østby, Kenneth (Master thesis, 2007)
      The single core processor stagnated due to four major factors. (1) The lack of instruction level parallelism to exploit, (2) increased power consumption, (3) complexity involved in designing a modern processor, and (4) the ...
    • Operating system directed power reduction on EFM32 

      Tverdal, Martin (Master thesis, 2010)
      Power consumption has become a major concern of embedded systems.Currently FreeRTOS wastes a power waking up regularly to keep track of time.In this work FreeRTOS is modified to sleep when there is no work for the CPU to ...
    • Reducing Memory Latency by Improving Resource Utilization 

      Grannæs, Marius (Doktoravhandlinger ved NTNU, 1503-8181; 2010:106, Doctoral thesis, 2010)
      Integrated circuits have been in constant progression since the first prototype in 1958, with the semiconductor industry maintaining a constant rate of miniaturisation of transistors and wires. Up until about the year 2002, ...
    • RustyGecko - Developing Rust on Bare-Metal - An experimental embedded software platform 

      Høiby, Håvard Wormdal; Lefsaker, Sondre (Master thesis, 2015)
      Embedded computer systems are an invisible, ever-growing part of our lives. Through market trends, like the Internet of Things, these computers are brought to new domains. These constrained systems set different requirements ...
