DEEP -- Decision support for Energy Efficient Processing

Resources for Instruction in Energy Efficiency and Security

• This Wiki provides entries below describing DEEP and the Intel Atom LEAP Platform

• Please also see the Reference for Instructors entry with detailed information intended to assist in Embedded Security Course development

• We are indebted to Intel for valuable support of development of instructional resources for Energy Efficient Embedded Security based on Atom LEAP

Recent News

• DEEP was recently presented at IEEE WiMob 2012 in Barcelona, Spain!

• We're gearing up for UCLA EE 202C Networked Embedded Systems Design in the Winter quarter and putting together distribution materials for DEEP.

General

• The Decision support for Energy Efficient Processing (DEEP) technology is based on LEAP (Low-power Energy Aware Platform).
• The latest DEEP and LEAP systems support the Intel Atom architecture.

• Intel Atom LEAP Whitepaper -- about the Intel Atom LEAP including its complete implementation and bill of materials

• A DEEP Testbed has been developed that provides convenient remote access to fully instrumented LEAP systems for large course and research groups

DEEP Software Distribution

• AboutDeep -- about the DEEP distribution

• DeepDocumentation -- distribution documentation

• DeepGitRepo -- git repository for instrumentation software

• InstallerIso -- DVD .iso for installing OpenSUSE and the NI-DAQ drivers to our standard platform

DEEP Testbed

The DEEP Testbed currently includes 5 Intel Atom-based DEEP platforms.

Graduate Course Example

EE202C Networked Embedded Systems Design

• The EE202C Networked Embedded Systems Design course provides background in embedded multicore processor system architecture and embedded Linux principles and technology.
• EE202C research projects engage student teams with mentors and the instructor (W. Kaiser) in the collaborative development of new systems in energy efficient embedded computing, Wireless Health, and other areas.

Undergraduate Course Example

CS 188

• UCLA's CS 188 is an undergraduate research course investigating the trade-offs between power and security on embedded systems with a specific challenge associated with a mobile notepad concept.
• The Atom LEAP system and the Atom LEAP Testbed have supported all development.

Reference Presentations on LEAP

• Drs. Kaiser and Reiher recently spoke at the Intel Embedded Research and Education Summit 2011, discussing the Atom LEAP. A video is available online, as are the slides for the talk. Enjoy!

• Peter Peterson recently presented a poster at the Intel Embedded Research and Education Summit 2013 on the Atom LEAP. The poster PDF is available here.
