    https://www.hipeac.net/2016/prague/    
    HiRES
    2016 and the second DREAMCloud Workshop will be
    organised together. More information on DREAMCloud
    available on http://www.dreamcloud-project.org/forum/workshop2016.
     
     
    Goal of the HiRES Workshop
    Increasingly, time
    is a relevant concern which impacts in all application areas and challenges
    ahead. Real-time requirements can be found in applications ranging from
    large-scale data processing systems to deeply embedded devices. Examples
    include safety-critical systems with high-performance requirements, such as
    collision avoidance and autonomous driving in avionics and automotive
    respectively, in which the correct timing behaviour is of paramount
    importance; consumer systems, such as video processing in TV sets and
    games; or real-time complex event processing applications, such as online
    trading or real-time traffic management. 
    In all these applications,
    systems are expected to cope with an increasing demand of functional and
    non-functional requirements, with the corresponding increase in processing
    capabilities, paving the way for high-performance architectures, of which
    multi-core and many-core systems are becoming pervasive. The capabilities
    and challenges of parallelization as a means to provide higher performance
    is a cross-cutting concern. 
    This workshop intends to
    bring together researchers and engineers in the confluence of
    high-performance, embedded systems and real-time systems. The goal is to
    allow for fruitful discussions on the challenges and research directions
    that should be tackled by the community. Papers and presentations
    illustrate current and future work in the theory and practice of the design
    and engineering of high-performance real-time embedded systems for a
    variety of application domains.

    Design and
    Evaluation of Reliability-oriented Task Re-Mapping in MPSoCs
    using Time-Series Analysis of Intermittent faults 
    Abstract: A large number of hardware faults are being
    caused by an increasing number of manufacturing defects and physical
    interactions during operation. This poses major challenges for the design
    and testing of modern Multiprocessor System-on- Chips (MPSoCs).
    Intermittent faults constitute a major part of hardware faults and their
    fault rates can be used as an indicator of the wear-out in a Processing
    Element (PE). We propose a run-time task re-mapping method that uses this
    information to improve the useful lifetime of MPSoCs.
    We also propose a scenario-aware system-level fault injection technique for
    intermittent faults to evaluate system-level design techniques in MPSoCs. Our performance results conclusively show that
    our strategy significantly scales on reliability metrics with respect to
    number of PEs. Specifically, we show that our method can achieve an
    increase in lifetime of up to 16% and tolerate up to 30% more faults than
    state-of-the-art techniques.

    Many-core
    processor architectures; fault-tolerance and programmability 
    Abstract: Massive many-core SoCs
    – like many other designs – are often designed with the focus on the
    hardware. The programming models for these complex many-cores often come as
    an afterthought and programmers have to make do with what is designed into
    the hardware. This gives many-core programming a reputation of being a
    programmer’s nightmare. In this talk, Gerard will present Recore's FlexaWare approach. FlexaWare® is a flexible and scalable embedded
    processing platform that unites easy programming and heterogeneous
    many-core system complexity. The embedded platform combines hardware, a
    runtime and a software development environment. Also, he will explain Recore's contribution  to several European FP7/H2020
    research projects with respect to many-core programming issues as well as
    fault-tolerance.
