  \englishAbstract{
    The development of magnetoresistive technologies resulted in three effects
  for commercial use: The giant magnetoresistive effect (GMR), used in
  harddisks, the anisotropic magnetoresistive effect (AMR) inside some memory
  devices e.g. for use in space, and the tunnel magnetoresistive effect (TMR)
  for newly developed memory ICs for mainstream use. This TMR effect shows
  significant advantages over SRAM and EEPROM technologies, and the project
  was started to study the usage of this technology inside field-programmable
  devices like FPGAs and CPLDs. The project included material research at the
  university of Bielefeld and Siemens Corporate Technology, microarchitectural
  components and circuit technology as well as software development for fitting
  applications to these devices.}

  \englishAbstract{
    Automation technology for controlling machines and safety technology to
  prevent persons and machines from accidents are completely separated from
  each other, concerning actual products on the market. But the market itself
  requires combined products, and this project refers to this requirement.
  The programmable logic control (PLC) devices of the future will integrate
  the control part as well as the safety part, and this must be based on
  diverse redundant hardware. The project consists of developing this
  hardware architecture and developing the corresponding software compiler
  for partitioning the application and mapping it on the hardware parts.}
