State of play and future steps for the EU Biodiversity Strategy (EU BDS) dashboard
No full text→ The EU BDS dashboard is publicly accessible through the website of the European Commission’s Knowledge Centre for Biodiversity (KCBD) under “Tools”.
→ Following the publication of six new indicators, the EU BDS dashboard currently contains 16 indicators to monitor progress on 8 out of the 16 EU BDS targets.
→ The EU BDS dashboard has also undergone technical updates to make it easier to navigate and maintain.
→ The two indicators selected following the last meeting of the EU Biodiversity Platform’s Monitoring and Assessment subgroup (EUBP-MA) are planned to be published by the end of 2024, as well as the two pesticide indicators previously proposed.
→ Two new indicators are proposed to be added in the EU BDS dashboard: EUBP-MA is invited to give its feedback on these proposed indicators.
→ The indicator developed to track progress on the EU BDS commitment to unlock at least € 20 billion/year for biodiversity is also presented and open to EUBP-MA feedback
A FPGA-Based Reconfigurable Software Architecture for Highly Dependable Systems
No full textNowadays, systems-on-chip are commonly equipped with reconfigurable hardware. The use of hybrid architectures based on a mixture of general purpose processors and reconfigurable components has gained importance across the scientific community allowing a significant improvement of computational performance. Along with the demand for performance, the great sensitivity of reconfigurable hardware devices to physical defects lead to the request of highly dependable and fault tolerant systems. This paper proposes an FPGA-based reconfigurable software architecture able to abstract the underlying hardware platform giving an homogeneous view of it. The abstraction mechanism is used to implement fault tolerance mechanisms with a minimum impact on the system performanc
Holistic methodology for designing ultra high-speed SHA-1 hashing cryptographic module in hardware
No full textNowadays security is a critical issue as long as electronic transactions are concerned. Moreover taking into consideration the rapid growth of e-commerce and the future needs, it is essential to achieve higher throughput rates for the incorporated security schemes. The most common components in such security schemes are a cipher block and a hash function, with the second one being hard to compete with the throughput achieved by cipher blocks. In this paper a top-down methodology is presented which manages to increase throughput of SHA-1 hash function hardware design about 160% comparing to conventional implementations with a minor area penalty. © 2008 IEEE
