Brook Auto: High-Level Certification-Friendly Programming for GPU-powered Automotive Systems
Modern automotive systems require increased performance to implement Advanced Driving Assistance Systems (ADAS). GPU-powered platforms are promising candidates for such computational tasks, however current low-level programming models challenge the accelerator software certification process, while they limit the hardware selection to a fraction of the available platforms. In this paper we present Brook Auto, a high-level programming language for automotive GPU systems which removes these limitations. We describe the challenges and solutions we faced in its implementation, as well as a complete evaluation in terms of performance and productivity, which shows the effectiveness of our method.This work has been partially supported by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation under grant TIN2015-65316-P and the HiPEAC Network of Excellence.Peer ReviewedPostprint (author's final draft
Who watches the watchers: Validating the ProB Validation Tool
Over the years, ProB has moved from a tool that complemented proving, to a
development environment that is now sometimes used instead of proving for
applications, such as exhaustive model checking or data validation. This has
led to much more stringent requirements on the integrity of ProB. In this paper
we present a summary of our validation efforts for ProB, in particular within
the context of the norm EN 50128 and safety critical applications in the
railway domain.Comment: In Proceedings F-IDE 2014, arXiv:1404.578
Flexible programmable networking: A reflective, component-based approach
The need for programmability and adaptability in networking systems is becoming increasingly important. More specifically, the challenge is in the ability to add services rapidly, and be able to deploy, configure and reconfigure them as easily as possible. Such demand is creating a considerable shift in the way networks are expected to operate in the future. This is the main aim of programmable networking research community, and in our project we are investigating a component-based approach to the structuring of programmable networking software. Our intention is to apply the notion of components, component frameworks and reflection ubiquitously, thus accommodating all the different elements that comprise a programmable networking system
