Evolution of von Neumann's paradigm: Dependable and green computing

The research and implementation issues in areas of safety and energy critical SW-, HW- and FPGA-based systems in context of John Von Neumann's paradigm (VNP) are discussed. The stages of the VNP evolution and related problems connected with creation of dependable (and safe) systems out of undependable (and unsafe) components are analyzed. Aspects of the VNP development regarding resilient and green computing are described. A conception of green and safe computing is formulated. Features of the VNP application for green computing are analyzed.
