Two-Photon 3-Dimensional Photoelectrochemical Etching Of Single Crystal Silicon Carbide, Peter Robert Nyholm
Two-Photon 3-Dimensional Photoelectrochemical Etching Of Single Crystal Silicon Carbide, Peter Robert Nyholm
Theses and Dissertations
This thesis presents the first use of a novel direct-write, non-line-of-sight, two-photon photoelectrochemical etching technique for etching of single crystal silicon carbide substrates. The use of this technique has resulted in structuring of 3-dimensional structures in high quality single crystal silicon carbide wafers. The 3-dimensional structures demonstrated cannot be formed by any single or combination of traditional silicon carbide machining techniques. This thesis outlines the development of the optical, electrical, and diagnostic components required to achieve two-photon photoelectrochemical etching in silicon carbide. The diagnostic sub-assemblies --a single pixel confocal detector assembly and an in-situ optical microscope assembly-- and their design …
Inter-Core Interference Mitigation In A Mixed Criticality System, Michael Glenn Hinton
Inter-Core Interference Mitigation In A Mixed Criticality System, Michael Glenn Hinton
Theses and Dissertations
In this thesis, we evaluate how well isolation can be achieved between two virtual machines within a mixed criticality system on a multi-core processor. We achieve this isolation with Jailhouse, an open-source, minimalist hypervisor. We then enhance Jailhouse with core throttling, a technique we use to minimize inter-core interference between VMs. Then, we run workloads with and without core throttling to determine the effect throttling has on interference between a non-real time VM and a real-time VM. We find that Jailhouse provides excellent isolation between VMs even without throttling, and that core throttling suppresses the remaining inter-core interference to a …
