Internet-of-Things (IoT) is the technical backbone of smart cities which are envisioned to cope up with rapid urbanization of human population with limited resources. IoT provides three key features of smart cities such as intelligence, interconnection, and instrumentation. IoT is essentially a system-of-systems which can be considered as a configurable dynamic global network of networks. The main components of IoT include the following: 1) The Things; 2) Internet; 3) LAN; and 4) The Cloud. IoT is built by various diverse components including electronics, sensors, actuators, controllers, networks, firmware, and software. However, the existing electronics, controllers, and processors do not meet IoT requirements, such as multiple sensors, communication protocols, and security requirements. The existing computer-aided design (CAD) or electronic design automation tools are not enough to meet diverse challenges such as time-to-market, complexity, and cost of IoT. The required electronic circuits and systems need to be developed by handling and solving specific requirements. Real-time and ultralow power plays a major role since mobile devices in the IoT have to provide a long availability with a relative small energy budget. At the same time, reliability, availability, real-time constraints, and performance requirements pose significant challenges, and therefore, lead to a high interest in research. In this special issue, different approaches to design novel devices, circuits, and systems for solving the challenges with IoT are targeted. Various novel design automation components including modeling, design flows, simulation methods, and optimizations for designing of modern IoT are targeted, from system level down to device level. The current special issue was envisioned with the above technical considerations. After a rigorous review process, a set of articles were selected for this special issue. These papers are briefly discussed in the rest of the editorial.

This paper presents a set of methods for effective compression of 3D-CNN deep learning architectures with a particular focus on embedded platforms. Deep learning models are massive regarding the number of parameters, especially in video processing. Such memory consumption poses a challenge when it comes to efficient deployment to embedded devices. The authors applied a series of quantization and pruning techniques and showed that it is possible to significantly reduce an 80M-parameters-large deep learning model with a negligible (approx. 1 perc.) decrease in accuracy.

In this paper, we evaluate a partitioning and placement technique for mapping concurrent applications over a globally asynchronous locally synchronous (GALS) multi-core architecture designed for simulating a spiking neural network (SNN) in real-time. We designed a task placement pipeline capable of analysing the network of neurons and producing a placement configuration that enables a reduction of communication between computational nodes. The neuronto-core mapping problem has been formalised as a two phases problem: Partitioning and Placement. The Partitioning phase aims at grouping together the most connected network components, maximising the amount of self-connections within each identified group. For this purpose we used a multilevel k-way graph partitioning strategy capable of generating network-partitions. The Placement phase aims at placing groups of neurons over the chip mesh minimising the communication between computational nodes. For implementing this step, we designed and evaluate the performances of three placement variants. In the results, we point out the importance of using a partitioning algorithm for the SNN graph. We were able to achieve an increase in self-connections of 19% and an improvement of the final overall post-placement synaptic elongation of 29% using the simulated annealing placement technique, compared to 22% obtained without partitioning.

The amount and diversity of connected computing platforms in the Internet of Things (IoT) is expected to increase exponentially throughout the next years, together with their dependability requirements. This imposes many challenges to software and hardware developers and calls for safe and secure real-time operating systems (RTOSs) that are portable to different or changing hardware. Middleware ports, including RTOS ports, must keep functional and non-functional behavior constant towards the application. Current middleware portability approaches for embeddedsystems, however, are arduous and error prone. We present a novel approach towards portability of embedded RTOSs based on the formal, hardware-independent and detailed specification of RTOS kernels. With additional models of relevant MCU properties and instruction set architectures (ISA), we are able to generate low level RTOS code for different target architectures. This paper focuses on the hardware-independent model of the context switch within a multi-tasking RTOS. With the general approach, we expect to (1) reduce the effort for maintaining and porting RTOS code, as well as the (2) likeliness for errors, (3) make it easier to test new kernel concepts during OS development, (4) improve security by modeling different levels of access permissions for memory or peripherals depending on the execution mode, and (5) improve safety by formally proving the correctness and consistency of the models.

For the multi-core systems, the distributed shared memory(DSM) has become the mainstream for its scalability and portable. A new security policy needs to be designed to protect the data in the DSM. In this paper, a memory confidentiality protection method is designed based on the dynamic key and compression counter(CPS), The method improves the encryption efficiency significantly and solves the problem of the ciphertext re-encrypting when the counter overflows. A memory integrity protection method is proposed based on a multi-granularity incremental hash tree(MIT), to reduce the memory occupation and the amount of calculation. A secondary conversion method of the ciphertext is designed so that the data can be transmitted among the untrusted processing units without sharing the private keys. The optimized methods are quantitatively evaluated using the SimpleScalar architecture simulation tool. Experimental results show that the performance degradation of the proposed confidentiality protection method is 11.84% on average, which is better than the split counter mode(SPLIT) method and the block encryption method. The proposed integrity protection method has a 48.72% reduction in memory occupation and a 32.62% improvement in the performance reduction rate compared with the hash-tree method, it's better than the multi-grained hash tree(MGT) method and the Bonsai Merkle Tree(BMT) method too.

The efficient usage and development of embedded multi-and many-core systems is an important field of research for years and decades. In the last decade, utilizing embedded and especially low-power architectures for high performance computing (HPC) applications became an important part of research. The reason for this are the constantly increasing energy costs along with an increasing awareness of energy consumption in general. As suitable low-power HPC architectures are not yet available at a larger scale, simulation of new and appropriate architectures becomes an important factor for the success of low-power systems and clusters. In order to speed up simulation, at the cost of accuracy, different levels of abstraction were introduced. Currently the class of instruction accurate simulations seems to yield the best trade-off between speed and precision, especially when simulating complex multi-and many-core systems. In this paper we present our investigations about the accuracy of the state-of-the-art instruction accurate embedded multi-and many-core simulation environment Open Virtual Platforms (OVP) in comparison to an actual embedded hardware system from Altera. Our investigations include the actual usage of the same operating system running on both, the target hardware and the simulation as well as serial and parallel software benchmarks. We analyze the current accuracy of the simulation environment with respect to a performance model, based on the execution time of the simulation and the actual embedded hardware system. Using the instruction accurate simulation technology from OVP is for the simulation of embedded/low-power HPC hardware architectures and applications. Furthermore, we point out first steps towards further possibilities for obtaining a better performance model by the use of our simple memory model.
