Mapping DSP algorithms to a reconfigurable architecture Adaptive Wireless Networking (AWGN)

This report will discuss the Adaptive Wireless Networking project. The vision of the Adaptive Wireless Networking project will be given. The strategy of the project will be the implementation of multiple communication systems in dynamically reconfigurable heterogeneous hardware. An overview of a wireless LAN communication system, namely HiperLAN/2, and a Bluetooth communication system will be given. Possible implementations of these systems in a dynamically reconfigurable architecture are discussed. Suggestions for future activities in the Adaptive Wireless Networking project are also given

Adaptive Wireless Networking

This paper presents the Adaptive Wireless Networking (AWGN) project. The project aims to develop methods and technologies that can be used to design efficient adaptable and reconfigurable mobile terminals for future wireless communication systems. An overview of the activities in the project is given. Furthermore our vision on adaptivity in wireless communications and suggestions for future activities are presented

Mapping the SISO module of the Turbo decoder to a FPFA

In the CHAMELEON project a reconfigurable systems-architecture, the Field Programmable Function Array (FPFA) is introduced. FPFAs are reminiscent to FPGAs, but have a matrix of ALUs and lookup tables instead of Configurable Logic Blocks (CLBs). The FPFA can be regarded as a low power reconfigurable accelerator for an application specific domain. In this paper we show how the SISO (Soft Input Soft Output) module of the Turbo decoding algorithm can be mapped on the reconfigurable FPFA

Sphinx: A Secure Architecture Based on Binary Code Diversification and Execution Obfuscation

Sphinx, a hardware-software co-design architecture for binary code and runtime obfuscation. The Sphinx architecture uses binary code diversification and self-reconfigurable processing elements to maintain application functionality while obfuscating the binary code and architecture states to attackers. This approach dramatically reduces an attacker's ability to exploit information gained from one deployment to attack another deployment. Our results show that the Sphinx is able to decouple the program's execution time, power and memory and I/O activities from its functionality. It is also practical in the sense that the system (both software and hardware) overheads are minimal.Comment: Boston Area Architecture 2018 Workshop (BARC18
