Reconfigurable hardware operating systems provide software-like abstractions for hardware accelerators. In particular abstractions that view hardware accelerators as threads and integrate them into a multi-threaded environment have received popularity. However, such abstractions are not yet available for latest platform FPGAs. In this paper, we present ReconOS(64), a reconfigurable hardware operating system for 64-Bit modern platform FPGAs. We discuss the architecture and the build flow and report on a number of experiments that evaluate the performance of the system. In particular, we compare the performance to a previous, 32-Bit ReconOS system. The evaluation shows that the step towards 64-Bit is not only necessary to make hardware operating system support available for modern platform FPGAs, but also improves the performance of operating system calls and memory accesses for hardware threads.

Aerial reconstruction of 3D object mapping involves utilizing drones or Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) equipped with cameras to capture images for high-resolution 3D model reconstruction of various objects and terrains. This technique is applicable across various fields, such as Urban Planning, Vehicle Navigation, Environmental Studies, Civil engineering, and Cultural Heritage Conservation. Drones capture hundreds of overlapping aerial photos, which are then processed to generate photorealistic 3D representations of topographic surfaces using photogrammetry software. However, the reconstruction process is time-consuming and computationally intensive, especially when processing large datasets. This research addresses these challenges by employing parallel computing using the Message Passing Interface (MPI) to distribute the computational workload across multiple nodes. By utilizing MPI, the computational tasks are efficiently divided among four nodes, significantly reducing processing time and alleviating the burden on individual CPUs. The study demonstrates that parallel computing with MPI reduces the reconstruction time from 74 minutes to 27 minutes, achieving a speedup of 2.74 times. This research demonstrates a novel application of MPI to the domain of aerial 3D reconstruction, achieving a specific and substantial reduction in processing time. Additionally, it provides insights into future enhancements, such as parallel texture reconstruction and automation of translation processes.

Cloud-native architectures are often based on microservices and combine different aspects that aim to leverage the capabilities of cloud platforms for software development. Cloud-native architectural characteristics like patterns and best practices aim to design, develop, deploy, and operate such systems efficiently with minimal time and effort. However, architects and developers are faced with the challenge of applying such characteristics in a targeted manner to improve selected quality attributes. Hence, we aim to investigate relationships, or more specifically impacts, between architectural characteristics of cloud-native applications, and quality aspects. The architectural characteristics in consideration are based on our recently proposed quality model for cloud-native software architectures. To validate its elements and revise this literature-based quality model, we conducted a questionnaire-based survey among 42 software professionals. While the survey results reinforce the quality model to a fair extent, they also indicate parts requiring a revision. Thus, as an additional contribution, we present an updated version of the quality model incorporating the survey results. Practitioners will benefit from our work when designing and developing cloud-native applications in a quality-oriented way. Researchers will moreover profit from our specifically developed questionnaire-based survey tool, which allows surveying complex structures like a hierarchical quality model.
