  • Hardware Synthesis from SCCharts to FPGA [possibly also Master Topic](Bachelor/Master)
    Use the circuit-based code generation to produce code for FPGAs
  • Automatic documentation generation [possibly also Master Topic]
    Develop an automatic SCCharts documentation system
  • Optimizations for the SCCharts compiler [possibly also Master Topic]Optimizations for the SCCharts compiler (Bachelor/Master)
    Profile the actual SCCharts compiler and apply optimizations
  • Optimizations of the SCCharts transformations (Bachelor/Master)
    Profile the actual SCCharts compiler transformation and apply optimizations
  • Multi-core SCCharts compiler [possibly also Master Topic]
    Implement the possibility to use more than one core to compile large SCCharts
  • Adding dataflow to SCCharts [possibly also Master Topic]
    Add dataflow to SCCharts 

  • Detecting tick boundaries in SCCharts (Master/Bachelor)

  • Efficient data dependency analyses in SCCharts (Master/Bachelor)
    Implement data dependency analyses for SCCharts
  • KIELER evaluation environment for synchronous languages (Master/Bachelor)
    Develop a reliable evaluation environment to compare common synchronous languages (i.e. Esterel/SyncCharts & SCCharts)
  • Raceyard evaluation (Master/Bachelor)
    Evaluate the possibility for the use of SCCharts in the Raceyard context and pave the way for future experiments

    Integrate the synchronous Quartz language into KIELER for validation purposes and teaching.
  • Implementation of a priority-based compilation approach (Master) [work in progress, Caroline Butschek]
    Implement the SyncCharts priority-based compilation approach into the SCCharts compiler chain.
  • From Esterel to SCL (Master) [work in progress, Karsten Rathlev]
    Implement transformations that translate Esterel programs to SCL 
  • Curing Schizophrenia in SCCharts (Master)
    Develop new synchronizer to handle schizophrenia properly (e.g. depth join).
  • Railway 4.0 (Master) [work in progress, Nis Wechselberg]
    Design a new and modern hardware controlling (Version 4) for the railway installation.

PRETSY / PRETSY2

Advisors: Insa Fuhrmann., Steven Smyth

  • Real-time extensions for SCCharts [possibly also Master Topic] (Bachelor/Master)
    Make the timing instructions delay_until und exception_on_expire of the FlexPRET processor available in SCCharts.

  • Adding dataflow to SCCharts (Bachelor/Master) [work in progress, Axel Umland]
    Add dataflow to SCCharts 

  • Multithreaded/Multicore execution of SCCharts (Master/Bachelor)
    Evaluate possibilities to preserve parallelism in SCCharts, implement mapping for (fine grained) multithreading and multicore 
    based on the FlexPRET processor.

Miscellaneous Topics

Advisors: to be determined.

  • Developing an Info Screen (Bachelor)
    Info screens are screens that present data in ways that can be easily understood. This includes static data (project description graphics, members of a team, ...) as well as dynamically aggregated data (bug statistics, automatic build overviews, ...). This topic is about developing such an info screen for our group and making it easily configurable.
