To understand and identify the attack surfaces of a Cyber-Physical System (CPS) is an essential step towards ensuring its security. The growing complexity of the cybernetics and the interaction of independent domains such as avionics, robotics and automotive is a major hindrance against a holistic view CPS. Furthermore, proliferation of communication networks have extended the reach of CPS from a...
Low-power approximate adders provide basic building blocks for approximate computing hardware that have shown remarkable energy efficiency for error-resilient applications (like image/video processing, computer vision, etc.), especially for battery-driven portable systems. In this paper, we present a novel scalable, fast yet accurate analytical method to evaluate the output error probability of multi-bit...
We present a scalable Dynamic Power Management (DPM) schem e where malleable applications may change their degree of parallelism at run time depending upon the workload and performance constraints. We employ a per-application predictive power manager that autonomously controls the power states of the cores with the goal of energy efficiency. Furthermore, our DPM allows the applications to lend their...
This paper presents a cross-layer approach for analyzing and designing energy-efficient advanced multimedia systems with next-generation High-Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) standard. Our approach leverages both algorithmic and architectural layers of system design abstractions in order to achieve a high power/energy efficiency. We present an analysis and design of an HEVC-based multimedia system while...
The High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) standard aims at providing ∼50% better compression compared to its predecessor (H.264) at the cost of high computational complexity. To enable HEVC video encoding in real-time scenarios, special coding support for parallelization is provided in HEVC that can be exploited by many-core systems. In this work, we present a HEVC software architecture where a video...
This paper presents an adaptive temperature optimization technique for the next generation video encoders. It exploits both application-specific knowledge (i.e. video encoding configurations) and video content properties in order to efficiently manage the temperature of advanced video coding systems at the software layer. For designing an efficient technique, we perform an extensive offline analysis...
In this paper, we propose a novel scheme for dynamically reducing the computational complexity of MVC. Our scheme exploits the coding mode correlation available in the 3D-neighborhood (i.e., spatial, temporal, and view) along with the rate-distortion properties of the neighboring Macroblocks. Our scheme incorporates a multi-level mode decision process based on a mode-ranking mechanism that categorizes...
We propose a novel power-aware scheme for complexity-scalable multiview video coding on mobile devices. Our scheme exploits the asymmetric view quality which is based on the binocular suppression theory. Our scheme employs different quality-complexity classes (QCCs) and adapts at run time depending upon the current battery state. It thereby enables a run-time tradeoff between complexity and video...
