In this thesis, co-design and co-verification of a microcontroller hardware and software using SystemC is studied. For this purpose, an MC68HC11 microcontroller unit, a test bench that contains input and output modules for the verification of microcontroller unit are implemented using SystemC programming language and a visual simulation program is developed using C# programming language in Microsoft .NET platform. SystemC is a C++ class library that is used for co-designing hardware and software of a system. One of the advantages of using SystemC in system design is the ability to design each module of the system in different abstraction levels. In this thesis, test bench modules are designed in a high abstraction level and microcontroller hardware modules are designed in a lower abstraction level. At the end, a simulation platform that is used for co-simulation and co-verification of hardware and software modules of overall system is developed by combining microcontroller implementation, test bench modules, test software and visual simulation program. Simulations at different levels are performed on the system in the developed simulation platform. Simulation results helped observing errors in designed modules easily and making corrections until all results verified designed hardware modules. This stuation showed that co-designing and co-verifying hardware and software of a system helps finding errors and making corrections in early stages of system design cycle and so reducing design time of the system.

Pipelined design approach to microprocessor architectures a partial implementation : mips pıpelined architecture on fpga Altıniğneli, Muzaffer Can; Güran, Hasan; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2005) This thesis demonstrate how pipelining in a RISC processor is achieved by implementing a subset of MIPS R2000 instructions on FPGA. Pipelining, which is one of the primary concepts to speed up a microprocessor is emphasized throughout this thesis. Pipelining is fundamentally invisible for high level programming language user and this work reveals the internals of microprocessor pipelining and the potential problems encountered while implementing pipelining. The comparative and quantitative flow of this thes...
A dependable computing application Güngör, Uğur; Güran, Hasan Cengiz; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2005) This thesis focuses on fault tolerance which is kind of dependable computing implementation. It deals with the advantages of fault tolerance techniques on Single Event Upsets (SEU) occurred in a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). Two fault tolerant methods are applied to floating point multiplier. Most common SEU mitigation method is Triple Modular Redundancy (TMR). So, two fault tolerance methods, which use TMR, are tested. There are three printed circuit boards (PCBs) and one user interface software in...
Routing optimization methods for communication networks Demircan, Ahmet Emrah; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2005) This study discusses the routing optimization techniques and algorithms for communication networks. Preventing data loss on overloaded communication links and utilizing link bandwidths efficiently are the main problems of traffic engineering. Load balancing and routing problems are solved using both by heuristics such as genetic algorithms, and simulation techniques. These algorithms work on destination-based or flow-based routing techniques and mainly change the link weight system or try to select the best...
Verification of Modular Diagnosability With Local Specifications for Discrete-Event Systems Schmidt, Klaus Verner (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2013-09-01) In this paper, we study the diagnosability verification for modular discrete-event systems (DESs), i.e., DESs that are composed of multiple components. We focus on a particular modular architecture, where each fault in the system must be uniquely identified by the modular component where it occurs and solely based on event observations of that component. Hence, all diagnostic computations for faults to be detected in this architecture can be performed locally on the respective modular component, and the obt...
Multi-camera video surveillance : detection, occlusion handling, tracking and event recognition Akman, Oytun; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2007) In this thesis, novel methods for background modeling, tracking, occlusion handling and event recognition via multi-camera configurations are presented. As the initial step, building blocks of typical single camera surveillance systems that are moving object detection, tracking and event recognition, are discussed and various widely accepted methods for these building blocks are tested to asses on their performance. Next, for the multi-camera surveillance systems, background modeling, occlusion handling, tr...
