The increasing complexity of modern configurable systems makes it critical to improve the level of automation in the process of system configuration. Such automation can also improve the agility of the development cycle, allowing for rapid and automated integration of decoupled workflows. In this paper, we present a new framework for automated configuration of systems representable as state machines. The framework leverages model checking and satisfiability modulo theories (SMT) and can be applied to any application domain representable using SMT formulas. Our approach can also be applied modularly, improving its scalability. Furthermore, we show how optimization can be used to produce configurations that are best according to some metric and also more likely to be understandable to humans. We showcase this framework and its flexibility by using it to configure a CGRA memory tile for various image processing applications.

Aerial autonomous machines (Drones) has a plethora of promising applications and use cases. While the popularity of these autonomous machines continues to grow, there are many challenges, such as endurance and agility, that could hinder the practical deployment of these machines. The closed-loop control frequency must be high to achieve high agility. However, given the resource-constrained nature of the aerial robot, achieving high control loop frequency is hugely challenging and requires careful co-design of algorithm and onboard computer. Such an effort requires infrastructures that bridge various domains, namely robotics, machine learning, and system architecture design. To that end, we present AutoSoC, a framework for co-designing algorithms as well as hardware accelerator systems for end-to-end learning-based aerial autonomous machines. We demonstrate the efficacy of the framework by training an obstacle avoidance algorithm for aerial robots to navigate in a densely cluttered environment. For the best performing algorithm, our framework generates various accelerator design candidates with varying performance, area, and power consumption. The framework also runs the ASIC flow of place and route and generates a layout of the floor-planed accelerator, which can be used to tape-out the final hardware chip.

The FEB(front end board) configuration test board is developed aiming at meeting the requirement of testing the new generation ASIC(application-specific integrated circuit) chips and its configuration system for ATLAS NSW(New Small Wheel) upgrade, In this paper, some functions are developed in terms of the configurations of the key chips on the FEB, VMM3 and TDS2 using GBT-SCA. Additionally, a flexible communication protocol is designed, verifying the whole data link. It provides technical reference for prototype FEB key chip configuration and data readout, as well as the final system configuration.
ALIGN (Analog Layout, Intelligently Generated from Netlists) is an open-source automatic layout generation flow for analog circuits. ALIGN translates an input SPICE netlist to an output GDSII layout, specific to a given technology, as specified by a set of design rules. The flow first automatically detects hierarchies in the circuit netlist and translates layout synthesis to a problem of hierarchical block assembly. At the lowest level, parameterized cells are generated using an abstraction of the design rules; these blocks are then assembled under geometric and electrical constraints to build the circuit layout. ALIGN has been applied to generate layouts for a diverse set of analog circuit families: low frequency analog blocks, wireline circuits, wireless circuits, and power delivery circuits.

This work aims to develop a model checking method to verify the decision making system of Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV) in a long range surveillance mission. The scenario in this work was captured from a long endurance USV surveillance mission using C-Enduro, an USV manufactured by ASV Ltd. The C-Enduro USV may encounter multiple non-deterministic and concurrent problems including lost communication signals, collision risk and malfunction. The vehicle is designed to utilise multiple energy sources from solar panel, wind turbine and diesel generator. The energy state can be affected by the solar irradiance condition, wind condition, states of the diesel generator, sea current condition and states of the USV. In this research, the states and the interactive relations between environmental uncertainties, sensors, USV energy system, USV and Ground Control Station (GCS) decision making systems are abstracted and modelled successfully using Kripke models. The desirable properties to be verified are expressed using temporal logic statement and finally the safety properties and the long endurance properties are verified using the model checker MCMAS, a model checker for multi-agent systems. The verification results are analyzed and show the feasibility of applying model checking method to retrospect the desirable property of the USV decision making system. This method could assist researcher to identify potential design error of decision making system in advance.
The ATLAS detector at CERNs Large Hadron Collider will be exposed to proton-proton collisions from beams crossing at 40 MHz that have to be reduced to the few 100 Hz allowed by the storage systems. A three-level trigger system has been designed to ac hieve this goal. We describe the configuration system under construction for the ATLAS trigger chain. It provides the trigger system with all the parameters required for decision taking and to record its history. The same system configures the event reconstruction, Monte Carlo simulation and data analysis, and provides tools for accessing and manipulating the configuration data in all contexts.
