Increasing usage of multi-core processors has led to their use in real time embedded systems (RTES). This entails high performance requirements which may not be easily met when software development follows traditional techniques long used for single processor systems. In this study, parallel programming design patterns especially developed and reported in the literature will be used to improve RTES implementations on multi-core systems. Specific performance parameters will be selected for assessment, and performance of traditionally developed software will be compared with that of software developed using parallel programming patterns.

Asynchronous design of systolic array architectures in cmos İsmailoğlu, Ayşe Neslin; Aşkar, Murat; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2008) In this study, delay-insensitive asynchronous circuit design style has been adopted to systolic array architectures to exploit the benefits of both techniques for improved throughput. A delay-insensitivity verification analysis method employing symbolic delays is proposed for bit-level pipelined asynchronous circuits. The proposed verification method allows datadependent early output evaluation to co-exist with robust delay-insensitive circuit behavior in pipelined architectures such as systolic arrays. Reg...
High performance readout and control electronics for mems gyroscopes Şahin, Emre; Akın, Tayfun; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2009) This thesis reports the development of various high performance readout and control electronics for implementing angular rate sensing systems using MEMS gyroscopes developed at METU. First, three systems with open loop sensing mechanisms are implemented, where each system has a different drive-mode automatic gain controlled (AGC) self-oscillation loop approach, including (i) square wave driving signal with DC off-set named as OLS_SquD, (ii) sinusoidal driving signal with DC off-set named as OLS_SineD, and i...
Investigation of multilevel inverters for d-statcom applications Deniz, Mustafa; Ermiş, Muammer; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2009) The most important advantages of Multilevel Inverters are the absence of a coupling transformer for medium voltage applications and low harmonic current content. In this way, relocatable and economical STATCOM systems can be realized. Complex control algorithms and the isolation problems of measurement devices and power supplies are the main challenging parts of this type of application. In this study, the design, realization, and the performance of a Voltage Source Type Cascaded Multilevel Converter Based ...
Implementation of a distributed video codec Işık, Cem Vedat; Akar, Gözde; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2008) Current interframe video compression standards such as the MPEG4 and H.264, require a high-complexity encoder for predictive coding to exploit the similarities among successive video frames. This requirement is acceptable for cases where the video sequence to be transmitted is encoded once and decoded many times. However, some emerging applications such as video-based sensor networks, power-aware surveillance and mobile video communication systems require computational complexity to be shifted from encoder ...
Modelling and noise analysis of closed-loop capacitive sigma-delta mems accelerometer Boğa, Biter; Külah, Haluk; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2009) This thesis presents a detailed SIMULINK model for a conventional capacitive Σ-Δ accelerometer system consisting of a MEMS accelerometer, closed-loop readout electronics, and signal processing units (e.g. decimation filters). By using this model, it is possible to estimate the performance of the full accelerometer system including individual noise components, operation range, open loop sensitivity, scale factor, etc. The developed model has been verified through test results using a capacitive MEMS accelero...
