Toughness assessment and micro-to-macro correlation of fracture processes in composite materials using a versatile embedded multiscale-model Ghent University
In many applications metals are substituted by fibre-reinforced polymer composite laminates that are composed by layers. Type and sequence of fracture modes between and inside layers are neither well understood nor correlated to fracture toughness due to experimental difficulties associated with testing in multidirectional laminates. A combined computational-experimental framework linking directly microscale fracture to toughness measurements ...

Outplaying the hardware lottery for embedded AI KU Leuven
The next wave of smart applications in our society will need embedded devices (robots, wearables, etc.) with increased intelligence at much reduced energy and latency cost. Compared to current embedded platforms, up to 1000x efficiency gains could be achieved through tight processor-algorithm co-optimization. However, due to the slow development cycle of processor chips (many months to years) in comparison to algorithms (hours to weeks), this ...
A security architecture for trustworthy networked embedded systems. KU Leuven
Many embedded systems provide hardware security extensions such as custominstruction or co-processors instead of standard security features present in high-end processors. We intend to explore what the advantages, limits and trade-offs are of software support for specific hardware security. This includes a secure boot process, runtime integrity and remote verification, ...
Efficient scheduling and compilation of embedded multi-core AI platforms KU Leuven
The future of artificial intelligence strives for powerful machine inference in resource-scarce distributed devices. To allow intelligent applications at ultra-low energy and low latency, it becomes increasingly clear that every intelligent edge device will need to be equipped with a diverse set of many heterogeneous co-processors, which allow to run every workload at the most compatible (combination of) accelerators. Moreover, using multiple ...
A Security Architectures with Real-Time Availability Guarantees for Extensible Embedded systems. KU Leuven
Recent developments on hardware-based trusted execution environments, such as the Software Guard Extensions (SGX) included in recent Intel x86 processors, hold the promise of securely outsourcing sensitive computations to untrusted remote platforms. The compelling aspect of these architectures is that they aim to protect small software components, called enclaves, even against a very powerful type of root adversaries that have full control ...
