Cross-Compiling Rust to Run on PYNQ-Z1

The PYNQ-Z1 is a versatile hardware platform used within many of our courses. Using xsct, the Xilinx Command Line Tool, one can run software on PYNQ without an operating system (OS) - a method known as bare metal. We repurposed these tools to create an executable from Rust code instead of the usual C. This will allow students to practice writing drivers and embedded software in a modern programming language.

C++-standardointi: dinosauruksen evoluutio

C++ on ohjelmointikielenä säilyttänyt asemansa 4 suosituimman ohjelmointikielen joukossa. Olen päässyt parin viime vuoden aikana seuraamaan läheltä, millaista on suuren ohjelmointikielen standardointiprosessi, mihin suuntaan C++ on kehittymässä ja mikä kehitystä ohjaa.

Rust: productivity for resource-constrained implementations

Deploying state-of-the-art research on tiny devices is a challenge. Connecting conceptual research with practical hardware requires tools that handle both sides of the equation efficiently. Rust is a technology that I believe will make an impact by bringing productivity-enhancing tools close to metal, and by making deployment easier to teach.

Bachelor or Master level student needed for developing mathematical software in brain imaging

We welcome a Bachelor or Master level student to complete a thesis work in developing mathematical open source solutions for estimating the activity of the human brain. An important topic would be to develop code for filtering and pre-processing the measured signal, and to evaluate the outcome with experimental data. The goal will be to implement filtering algorithms in the interface, and test the impact of the filtering parameters on the quality of the source and connectivity estimates. Tuning the topic depending on one’s personal interests and skills will be possible. The outcome can be integrated in Zeffiro Interface (ZI) Matlab package.

ITC Get Together - Pepper wants to replace humans

Faculty of Information Technology and Communication Sciences (ITC) Get Together party took place at the former locomotive garage, now known as Tornihotelli. The venue was full of happy people, ready to network and discuss, and cross the borderlines between different scientific fields. Pepper was one of the stars and had a very important task - to interview our Dean Jyrki Vuorinen. How did it go?
