Logica Programmabile in Sistemi Safety Critical – Progettazione, Sviluppo e Test

Relatore: Ing. Massimo Fiorelli Head of firmware engineering Neat S.r.l

I sistemi safety critical sono in grado di gestire funzioni sempre più complesse e diventano sempre più importanti nella vita di tutti i giorni.
Trasporti (auto, treni, aerei), apparecchi medicali, Impianti industriali, centrali nucleari sono solo alcuni esempi di settori in cui un malfunzionamento di un sistema può avere conseguenze catastrofiche.

Le architetture di questi sistemi hanno caratteristiche comuni e prevedono normalmente più unità di elaborazione che cooperano per realizzare la funzione di sicurezza.
Ciascuna unità di elaborazione, e quindi i suoi sottosistemi HW ed il suo SW, deve rispettare una serie di vincoli e adottare una serie di tecniche standardizzate per garantire l’adeguato livello di integrità della sicurezza del sistema (SIL).

Molto frequente ormai è l’utilizzo di dispositivi programmabili (FPGA) per l’ implementazione di funzioni critiche che necessitano di tempi di risposta veloci o per il controllo di numerosi GPIO.
Per questo motivo le nuove normative pongono molta attenzione sul processo di sviluppo basati su linguaggi di descrizione dell’hardware (VHDL, Verilog). Questo seminario presenterà il ciclo di vita di sistemi safety critical che utilizzano device FPGA: definizione dei requisiti, progettazione, implementazione, test e validazione.

 

Note sul relatore
L’Ing. Massimo Fiorelli è a capo dell’ ingegneria del firmware di Neat. Fiorelli è esperto di architetture di sistemi embedded e real time basati su microprocessori e logiche programmabili.
Neat S.r.l. è specializzata nella progettazione di prodotti HW e SW per applicazioni critiche in ambito avionico/aerospazio, ferrotramviario e industriale.

Venerdì 31 Gennaio ore 14:00 Sala Riunioni R2 Fault Tolerant and Secure Embedded Systems

Speaker: Dr. Luca Cassano Politecnico di Milano

The ubiquitous employment of embedded systems in safety-/mission-critical systems but also in consumer products and the growing interest in autonomous systems, e.g., autonomous cars and drones, impose designers to meet specific reliability-related requirements. Moreover, the distributed supply-chain which is commonly adopted to reduce design costs and time-to- market exposes digital systems to a number of security-related threats.

This talk will introduce the research activities carried out at Politecnico di Milano to design innovative solutions in the area of fault tolerance and security of digital circuits and systems. The first half of the talk will present an adaptive Convolutional Neural Network-based fault management scheme for image processing applications. The second half of the talk will focus on solutions to detect the presence and the activation of Hardware Trojans into CPU-based systems.

Rad-hard standard cells for space applications

Speaker: Dr. Cristiano Calligaro RedCat Devices Srl, Milano, Italy

Semiconductor components to be used in space applications have as a major constraint the need to be resilient against radiations.
Total Ionizing Dose (TID) and Single Event Effects (SEE) come from energetic particles interacting with silicon devices and produce both hard errors (Latch-up, degradation of oxides) and soft errors (bit flip of memory elements and transient propagation).

To mitigate such effects very tailored design techniques are adopted (Radiation Hardening by Design or simply RHBD) making leverage on standard and well consolidated silicon process (mainly CMOS).
In this tutorial the major effects on the interaction between charged prticles and silicon devices will be presented together with the most common techniques to make a mitigation according to the expected mission (low orbits, high orbits, deep space). Design techniques at circuit level (smart schematics) and at layout level (robust layouts) will be mentioned with a specific focus on digital building blocks (standard cells, embedded SRAMs) used for larger mixed signal ASICs (microcontrollers, core processors, imagers, DSPs).

In the last part of the tutorial some “real world” examples will be shown together with a list of the major Free Open Source (FOS) CAD tools available.

Reliability of Computing Systems in the Era of Autonomous Vehicles and Supercomputers

Speaker: Prof. Paolo Rech
Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul, Porto Alegre, RS, Brazil

Reliability is one of the major concerns for both safety-critical and High-Performance Computing applications. A neutron impact can generate faults in computing devices, leading to application crashes, wrong results, and system hangs. Several evidences showed that neutron-induced faults have corrupted large-server operations, have caused unexpected behaviors in airplanes, lead to car accidents … and have even influenced politics results.

In the talk we will briefly cover the effects of neutron impact on computing systems and applications. Particular emphasis will be given to self-driven cars, which is the newest trend in the automotive industry. We will present the results of several experiments on object- detection frameworks for automotive applications and show that neutrons can effectively change the way a vehicle senses objects, potentially leading to accidents.

Lately, novel architectural solutions, such as heterogeneous computing and mixed-precision architectures, have been introduced to increase devices computational efficiency. We will discuss if and how we can take advantage of these novel architectural solutions to improve applications reliability without unnecessary overhead. Particular attention will be given to the reliability of Xilinx Field-Programmable Gate-Arrays (FPGA), Intel Xeon Phis, NVIDIA Graphics Processing Units (GPUs), ARM embedded devices, and AMD heterogeneous devices.

Speaker’s short bio

He is the 2019 Rosen Scholar Fellow at the Los Alamos National Laboratory and he is actively collaborating with major research centers as Jet Propulsion Laboratory and Rutherford Appleton Laboratory as well as silicon industries as NVIDIA, AMD, and ARM. His main research interests include the evaluation and mitigation of radiation-induced effects in large-scale HPC centers and in autonomous vehicles for automotive applications and space explorations.

venerdì 7 febbraio ore 14:30 Sala Riunioni R2 High-Performance Embedded Computing in Space

Speaker: Dr. Gianluca Furano European Space Agency

Future missions, such as active debris removal for cleaning up the low Earth orbit environment, will rely on novel high-performance avionics to support advanced image processing algorithms with substantial workloads. However, when designing new avionics architectures, constraints relating to the use of electronics in space present great challenges, further exacerbated by the need for significantly faster processing compared to conventional space-grade central processing units. With the long-term goal of designing high performance embedded computers for space, in this seminar, an extended study and tradeoff analysis of a diverse set of computing platforms and architectures (i.e., central processing units, multicore digital signal processors, graphics processing units, and field-programmable gate arrays, AI accelerators) will be presented.

Animal Monitoring by Wireless Sensor Network with Experiments in Galapagos (Ecuador)

Abstract: The design of wireless sensor nodes for animal tracking is a multidisciplinary activity that presents several research challenges from both technical and biological point of views. A monitoring device has to be designed accounting for all system requirements including the specific characteristics of animals and environment. In this talk we present some aspects of the design of the wireless sensor node to track and monitor the pink iguana: a recently discovered species living in remote locations at the Galapagos Islands. The few individuals of this species live in a relatively small area that lacks of any available communication infrastructure. We present and discuss the energy harvesting architecture and the related energy management logic. We also discuss the impact of packaging on the sensor performance and the consequences of the limited available energy on the GPS tracking. We also present the new results coming from 20 devices installed on wild pink and yellow Iguanas in September 2019 and whose operation is planned for one year.

Venerdì 28/02 dalle ore 10:00 alle ore 12:30 presso l’Università degli Studi di Roma TOR VERGATA Facoltà di Ingegneria – Via del Politecnico, 1 – Aula B15 – Nuovo Edificio Didattico

Il Dr. Luca Callegaro

dell’ Istituto Nazionale di Ricerca Metrologica (INRIM) terrà un seminario organizzato dal Prof. Gaspare Galati per la Ph.D. School in Electronic Engineering – DIE – Tor Vergata University su:

The Redefinition of the International System of Units

Abstract: The International System of units (SI) is the basis of modern day measurements. In the SI currently in force, base units are defined in very different ways; the kilogram is defined as the mass of a single object, the international prototype – a cylinder of platinum-iridium alloy manufactured in 1889. The prototype is unique, at risk of damaging, nearly inaccessible (only about every 40 years) and there is some evidence of a change in its mass. On 16 November 2018 the General Conference of Weights and Measures has approved a major redefinition of the SI. All the seven base units are defined in terms of a fundamental constant of nature, which will have an exact value. It will be possible to realize the units everywhere and every time, by probing with experiments these fundamental constants. Electrical units are defined in terms of the elementary charge e and the Planck constant h; it will be possible to realize the volt, ohm and ampere by quantum experiments in solid-state devices. The kilogram, redefined in terms of the Planck constant h, is realized by counting atoms in a silicon sphere, or linking it to the quantum realization of the electrical power unit, the watt. The redefinition entered into force on May 20th, 2019.

Luca Callegaro:

Luca Callegaro holds a degree in Electronic Engineering (1992) and a Ph. D. in Physics (1996), both from Politecnico di Milano. He joined the Istituto Nazionale di Ricerca Metrologica, INRIM in Torino in 1996.
