CompCert is the first realistic formally verified compiler: it provides a machine-checked mathematical proof that the code it generates matches the source code. Yet, there could be loopholes in this approach. We comprehensively analyze…

One of the problems of formal verification is that it is not functionally complete due the incompleteness of specifications. An implementation meeting an incomplete specification may still have a lot of bugs. In testing, this issue is…

In this survey paper, we review recent work on frameworks for the high-level, portable programming of heterogeneous multi-/manycore systems (especially, GPU-based systems) using high-level constructs such as annotated user-level software…

Configurable software verification is a recent concept for expressing different program analysis and model checking approaches in one single formalism. This paper presents CPAchecker, a tool and framework that aims at easy integration of…

We propose here to look at how abstract a model of a usable system can be, but still say something useful and interesting, so this paper is an exercise in abstraction and formalisation, with usability-of-design as an example target use. We…

To run quantum algorithms on emerging gate-model quantum hardware, quantum circuits must be compiled to take into account constraints on the hardware. For near-term hardware, with only limited means to mitigate decoherence, it is critical…

Setting up effective and efficient mechanisms for controlling software and system development projects is still challenging in industrial practice. On the one hand, necessary prerequisites such as established development processes,…

Reconfigurable devices, such as Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), have been witnessing a considerable increase in density. State-of-the-art FPGAs are complex hybrid devices that contain up to several millions of gates. Recently,…

Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly deployed in real-time and energy-constrained environments, driving demand for hardware platforms that can deliver high performance and power efficiency. While central processing units (CPUs) and…

FPGA-based hardware accelerators have received increasing attention mainly due to their ability to accelerate deep pipelined applications, thus resulting in higher computational performance and energy efficiency. Nevertheless, the amount of…

General-purpose processors feature a limited number of instructions based on an instruction set. They can be numerous, such as with vector extensions that include hundreds or thousands of instructions, but this comes at a cost; they are…

Cryptanalysis of block ciphers involves massive computations which are independent of each other and can be instantiated simultaneously so that the solution space is explored at a faster rate. With the advent of low cost Field Programmable…

Heterogeneous computing is one of the most important computational solutions to meet rapidly increasing demands on system performance. It typically allows the main flow of applications to be executed on a CPU while the most computationally…

Deployment of network/distributed systems sets high requirements for procedures, tools and approaches for the complex testing of these systems. This work provides a survey of testing activities with regard to these systems based on…

Reliable and fast builds are essential for rapid turnaround during development and testing. Popular existing build systems rely on correct manual specification of build dependencies, which can lead to invalid build outputs and…

Improving the efficiency of edge detection in embedded applications, such as UAV control, is critical for reducing system cost and power dissipation. Field programmable gate arrays (FPGA) are a good platform for making improvements because…

PCIe-connected FPGAs are gaining popularity as an accelerator technology in data centers. However, it is challenging to jointly develop and debug host software and FPGA hardware. Changes to the hardware design require a time-consuming FPGA…

Power-spectrum analysis is an important tool providing critical information about a signal. The range of applications includes communication-systems to DNA-sequencing. If there is interference present on a transmitted signal, it could be…

Accountability aims to provide explanations for why unwanted situations occurred, thus providing means to assign responsibility and liability. As such, accountability has slightly different meanings across the sciences. In computer science,…

Cycle-accurate software simulation of multicores with complex microarchitectures is often excruciatingly slow. People use simplified core models to gain simulation speed. However, a persistent question is to what extent the results derived…
