Modern embedded systems embrace many-core shared-memory designs. Due to constrained power and area budgets, most of them feature software-managed scratchpad memories instead of data caches to increase the data locality. It is therefore programmers’ responsibility to explicitly manage the memory transfers, and this make programming these platform cumbersome. Moreover, complex modern applications must be adequately parallelized before they can the parallel potential of the platform into actual performance. To support this, programming languages were proposed, which work at a high level of abstraction, and rely on a runtime whose cost hinders performance, especially in embedded systems, where resources and power budget are constrained. This dissertation explores the applicability of the shared-memory paradigm on modern many-core systems, focusing on the ease-of-programming. It focuses on OpenMP, the de-facto standard for shared memory programming. In a first part, the cost of algorithms for synchronization and data partitioning are analyzed, and they are adapted to modern embedded many-cores. Then, the original design of an OpenMP runtime library is presented, which supports complex forms of parallelism such as multi-level and irregular parallelism. In the second part of the thesis, the focus is on heterogeneous systems, where hardware accelerators are coupled to (many-)cores to implement key functional kernels with orders-of-magnitude of speedup and energy efficiency compared to the “pure software” version. However, three main issues rise, namely i) platform design complexity, ii) architectural scalability and iii) programmability. To tackle them, a template for a generic hardware processing unit (HWPU) is proposed, which share the memory banks with cores, and the template for a scalable architecture is shown, which integrates them through the shared-memory system. Then, a full software stack and toolchain are developed to support platform design and to let programmers exploiting the accelerators of the platform. The OpenMP frontend is extended to interact with it.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is the next industrial revolution: we will interact naturally with real and virtual devices as a key part of our daily life. This technology shift is expected to be greater than the Web and Mobile combined. As extremely different technologies are needed to build connected devices, the Internet of Things field is a junction between electronics, telecommunications and software engineering. Internet of Things application development happens in silos, often using proprietary and closed communication protocols. There is the common belief that only if we can solve the interoperability problem we can have a real Internet of Things. After a deep analysis of the IoT protocols, we identified a set of primitives for IoT applications. We argue that each IoT protocol can be expressed in term of those primitives, thus solving the interoperability problem at the application protocol level. Moreover, the primitives are network and transport independent and make no assumption in that regard. This dissertation presents our implementation of an IoT platform: the Ponte project. Privacy issues follows the rise of the Internet of Things: it is clear that the IoT must ensure resilience to attacks, data authentication, access control and client privacy. We argue that it is not possible to solve the privacy issue without solving the interoperability problem: enforcing privacy rules implies the need to limit and filter the data delivery process. However, filtering data require knowledge of how the format and the semantics of the data: after an analysis of the possible data formats and representations for the IoT, we identify JSON-LD and the Semantic Web as the best solution for IoT applications. Then, this dissertation present our approach to increase the throughput of filtering semantic data by a factor of ten.

Scopo della tesi è analizzare il modello di migrazione 'pre-copy' e convalidare il simulatore che lo implementa. Modificando opportunamente il codice e facendo delle prove di simulazione in diversi casi, si vogliono riprodurre i grafici che si ottengono applicando il metodo analitico per la migrazine di insiemi di macchine virtuali. Si cerca di fare chiarezza, attraverso un'analisi dettagliata delle varie opzioni, su come i vari parametri fondamentali del sistema influiscono, dal punto di vista quantitativo, sulle prestazioni del sistema stesso.

In this report a new automated optical test for next generation of photonic integrated circuits (PICs) is provided by the test-bed design and assessment. After a briefly analysis of critical problems of actual optical tests, the main test features are defined: automation and flexibility, relaxed alignment procedure, speed up of entire test and data reliability. After studying varied solutions, the test-bed components are defined to be lens array, photo-detector array, and software controller. Each device is studied and calibrated, the spatial resolution, and reliability against interference at the photo-detector array are studied. The software is programmed in order to manage both PIC input, and photo-detector array output as well as data analysis. The test is validated by analysing state-of-art 16 ports PIC: the waveguide location, current versus power, and time-spatial power distribution are measured as well as the optical continuity of an entire path of PIC. Complexity, alignment tolerance, time of measurement are also discussed.

This thesis collects the outcomes of a Ph.D. course in Telecommunications engineering and it is focused on enabling techniques for Spread Spectrum (SS) navigation and communication satellite systems. It provides innovations for both interference management and code synchronization techniques. These two aspects are critical for modern navigation and communication systems and constitute the common denominator of the work. The thesis is organized in two parts: the former deals with interference management. We have proposed a novel technique for the enhancement of the sensitivity level of an advanced interference detection and localization system operating in the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) bands, which allows the identification of interfering signals received with power even lower than the GNSS signals. Moreover, we have introduced an effective cancellation technique for signals transmitted by jammers, exploiting their repetitive characteristics, which strongly reduces the interference level at the receiver. The second part, deals with code synchronization. More in detail, we have designed the code synchronization circuit for a Telemetry, Tracking and Control system operating during the Launch and Early Orbit Phase; the proposed solution allows to cope with the very large frequency uncertainty and dynamics characterizing this scenario, and performs the estimation of the code epoch, of the carrier frequency and of the carrier frequency variation rate. Furthermore, considering a generic pair of circuits performing code acquisition, we have proposed a comprehensive framework for the design and the analysis of the optimal cooperation procedure, which minimizes the time required to accomplish synchronization. The study results particularly interesting since it enables the reduction of the code acquisition time without increasing the computational complexity. Finally, considering a network of collaborating navigation receivers, we have proposed an innovative cooperative code acquisition scheme, which allows exploit the shared code epoch information between neighbor nodes, according to the Peer-to-Peer paradigm.

Assessment of the integrity of structural components is of great importance for aerospace systems, land and marine transportation, civil infrastructures and other biological and mechanical applications. Guided waves (GWs) based inspections are an attractive mean for structural health monitoring. In this thesis, the study and development of techniques for GW ultrasound signal analysis and compression in the context of non-destructive testing of structures will be presented. In guided wave inspections, it is necessary to address the problem of the dispersion compensation. A signal processing approach based on frequency warping was adopted. Such operator maps the frequencies axis through a function derived by the group velocity of the test material and it is used to remove the dependence on the travelled distance from the acquired signals. Such processing strategy was fruitfully applied for impact location and damage localization tasks in composite and aluminum panels. It has been shown that, basing on this processing tool, low power embedded system for GW structural monitoring can be implemented. Finally, a new procedure based on Compressive Sensing has been developed and applied for data reduction. Such procedure has also a beneficial effect in enhancing the accuracy of structural defects localization. This algorithm uses the convolutive model of the propagation of ultrasonic guided waves which takes advantage of a sparse signal representation in the warped frequency domain. The recovery from the compressed samples is based on an alternating minimization procedure which achieves both an accurate reconstruction of the ultrasonic signal and a precise estimation of waves time of flight. Such information is used to feed hyperbolic or elliptic localization procedures, for accurate impact or damage localization.

Si è scelto di analizzare in modo approfondito tecniche di copertura radio e di trasmissione basate sull’uso di array di antenne ( facenti parte della famiglia Multiple Input Multiple Output, MIMO) in alcune tipologie tipiche di scenari indoor, come ad esempio ambienti commerciali o uffici in strutture multipiano. Si è studiato l’utilizzo di array di antenne di varie tipologie e a varie frequenze per implementare tecniche di diversità oppure tecniche a divisione di spazio (beam-switching, beamforming) per servire contemporaneamente utenti in diverse celle o in diversi settori senza ricorrere ad altre tecniche di divisione (di frequenza, tempo o codice), che invece verranno utilizzate in conbinazione combinate in sistemi di futura generazione.

In questo elaborato è stata trattata la caratterizzazione tramite simulazioni e prove in laboratorio di un circuito in grado di estrarre e accumulare energia elettrica, la quale viene generata da vibrazioni meccaniche tramite l'uso di dispositivi piezoelettrici. Partendo da una tipologia di circuito già esistente è stata studiata una variante nel sistema di conversione dell'energia, in questo caso il convertitore implementato è un convertitore di tipo flyback. Dopo aver studiato il circuito in dettaglio, è stata realizzata una prima simulazione circuitale mediante software Ltspice. Sono stati quindi analizzati gli andamenti delle tensioni di uscita e di ingresso durante il processo di carica della capacità, applicando in ingresso differenti tensioni. Infine i dati ottenuti sono stati elaborati in un foglio elettronico per poter ricavare l'andamento del rendimento.
