KOCL: Power Self- Awareness for Arbitrary FPGA-SoC-Accelerated OpenCL Applications |
| |
Being aware of its own power consumption is essential for any system under power constraints, i.e. all systems with moderate or high complexity. This paper describes a tool that provides this power awareness for applications written in OpenCL and implemented on FPGAs... read more.

A Self-Aware Architecture for PVT Compensation and Power Nap in Near Threshold Processors |
| |
As technology edges closer to fundamental limits, variations of process parameters, operational voltage, and temperature (PVT variations) have to be accounted for. This paper proposes to make higher levels aware of these variations and bring them under system control by using software controlled body biasing... read more

Self-Adaptive Timing Repair |
| |
This article describes a method to continuously monitor paths delays in an operational FPGA design and to improve slow paths by incremental partial reconfiguration. Since online delay measuring is more accurate than design time estimation, this approach... read more
