Low-power and Highly Dependable Parallel Computer Platform for Embedded Systems

Research Project Outline

We investigate dependable technologies for a high-performance parallel embedded computer platform with multi-core/ multiprocessor systems. We develop a reliable software distributed memory system with redundant remote page management to provide fault-tolerance for embedded parallel programs. A communication facility using multiple network links is also developed to provide fault-tolerance and power management in the communication layer of embedded parallel systems. We also develop a power management run-time system to optimize performance and power consumption under real-time constraints.
