Squishy Maps for Soft Body Modelling Using Generalised Chain Mail KIT308/408 (Advanced) Multicore Architecture and Programming Shared Memory and Synchronisation Dr. Ian Lewis Discipline of ICT, School of TED University of Tasmania, Australia 1 Today we’ll look at some of the problems with sharing memory between multicores (or just multithreaded programs) See simple approaches for

Reconfigurable computing Small Embedded Systems Unit 1.7 An Example Microcontroller: The ATmega 328P Introduction Overview of a typical microcontroller architecture We’ll use ATmega 328P as a concrete example An Example Microcontroller We start by looking at an example microcontroller: Atmel 328P Data width: 8-bits Flash: 32 kB (16k x 16 bit words) SRAM: 2 kB

Reconfigurable computing Small Embedded Systems Unit 6.6 Reliability and Safety Introduction Definitions of reliability and availability Reliability calculations Redundancy as a way to increase reliability Safety integrity levels standards Examples Reliability Reliability R(t) is defined as the probability that a system will perform the required function, under the specified operating conditions, until at least time

Reconfigurable computing Small Embedded Systems Unit 2.5 Instruction Set Architecture Introduction Processor architecture High level languages and assembly languages Big-endian and little-endian Registers The ALU needs to be provided with a source of data x, y and a place to store its results z This is done in registers, which each contain a single word

Reconfigurable computing Small Embedded Systems Unit 2.1: Data Representation and Data Types Introduction Binary and hexadecimal Signed and unsigned Types in the C language First question: Why do we care about how numbers are represented? European Space Agency Ariane 5 First launch of Ariane 5 series (1996) Self destructed 39 seconds after launch because veering

Reconfigurable computing Small Embedded Systems Unit 3.4 I/O Using Direct Port Register Manipulation Introduction The Arduino library aims to hide away The detail of what is happening The differences between different microcontrollers in order to make life easy for the programmer If we want to write code that is efficient and powerful, we need to

Tutorial solutions 1 1. How would the denary (base-10) number -25 be expressed in 8-bit 2s complement binary? 11100111 2. The population of Selly Oak (during term time) is 34,173. What is the smallest integer data type in the standard C programming language that could represent this number? unsigned short int or uint16_t You need
