Micro-channel-based liquid cooling and thermal through-silicon-vias (TSVs) have been adopted to alleviate the thermal issues in 3D-ICs. Thermal TSV enables higher interlayer thermal conductivity thereby achieving a more uniform thermal profile. Although somewhat effective in reducing temperatures, they are limited by the nature of the heat sink. On the other hand, micro-channel-based liquid cooling is significantly capable of addressing 3D-IC cooling needs, but consumes a lot of extra power for pumping coolant through channels. This study proposes a hybrid 3D-IC cooling scheme which combines micro-channel liquid cooling and thermal TSV with one acting as heat removal agent, whereas the other enabling beneficial heat conduction paths to the micro-channel structures. The experimental results show that the proposed hybrid cooling scheme provides much better cooling capability than using only thermal TSVs, although consuming 56% less cooling power compared with pure micro-channel cooling.","PeriodicalId":120076,"journal":{"name":"IET Circuits Devices Syst.","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"119458169","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Design space exploration and optimisation costs using conventional techniques have increased to infeasible levels. Hence, growing research for alternative design and metamodelling techniques with a much reduced design space exploration and optimisation cost and high level of accuracy, continues to be very active. This study presents a geostatistical inspired metamodelling and optimisation technique for fast and accurate design optimisation of nano-complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) circuits. The design methodology proposed integrates a simple Kriging technique with efficient and accurate prediction characteristics as the metamodel generation technique. A gravitational search algorithm (GSA) is applied on the generated metamodel (substituted for the circuit netlist) to solve the design optimisation problem. The proposed methodology is applicable to AMS circuits and systems. Its effectiveness is illustrated with the optimisation of a 45 nm CMOS thermal sensor. With six design parameters, the design optimisation time for the thermal sensor is decreased by 90% and produces an improvement of 36.8% in power consumption. To the best of the authors' knowledge this is the first work to use GSA for analogue design optimisation.","PeriodicalId":120076,"journal":{"name":"IET Circuits Devices Syst.","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"118215775","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To face this problem, post-silicon adaptive approaches have been proposed as a promising solution. However, their actual implementation requires the availability of effective monitoring architectures that can sense and sample process variation across the die. In this study, the authors present a sensor circuit for capturing on-chip variations owing to the fabrication process. The proposed solution is based on the concept of ‘variation amplification’ and uses the propagation delay measurement through a pass-transistor chain. Our monitor architecture, which consists of a self-contained cell containing N- and P-type sensors along with an all-digital delay measurement circuitry, is able to capture local variations of negative metal oxide semiconductors and positive metal oxide semiconductors transistors individually, therefore enabling fine tuning of the circuit. The authors also propose an array-based integration of the monitors, where the sensors are placed in a different location of the die and connected together with the scan–chain to distribute the sampled data. Detailed SPICE level simulations conducted on an industrial 45-nm CMOS technology demonstrate the sensing capability of the proposed architecture and the effectiveness of the on-chip all-digital measurement process.","PeriodicalId":120076,"journal":{"name":"IET Circuits Devices Syst.","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127429637","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To this end, a single- and a multi-core architecture are proposed and compared. The single-core architecture is composed of one ULP processing core, an instruction memory (IM) and a data memory (DM), while the multi-core architecture consists of several ULP processing cores, individual IMs for each core, a shared DM and an interconnection crossbar between the cores and the DM. These architectures are compared with respect to power/performance trade-offs for different target workloads of online biomedical signal analysis, while exploiting near threshold computing. The results show that with respect to the single-core architecture, the multi-core solution consumes 62% less power for high computation requirements (167 MOps/s), while consuming 46% more power for extremely low computation needs when the power consumption is dominated by leakage. Additionally, the authors show that the proposed ULP processing core, using a simplified instruction set architecture (ISA), achieves energy savings of 54% compared to a reference microcontroller ISA (PIC24).","PeriodicalId":120076,"journal":{"name":"IET Circuits Devices Syst.","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134267848","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The technique, which is additive with respect to the individual gate leakage values, employs a generalised extreme value (GEV) distribution. Compared with the previous methods based on (two-parameter) lognormal distribution, this method uses the GEV distribution with three parameters to increase the accuracy. Using the suggested distribution, the leakage yield of the circuits may be modelled. The accuracy of the approach is studied by comparing its results with those of a previous technique and HSPICE-based Monte Carlo simulations on ISCAS85 benchmark circuits for 45 nm CMOS technology. The comparison reveals a higher accuracy for the proposed approach. The proposed distribution does not add to the complexity and cost of simulations compared with the case of the lognormal distribution based on the additive approach.","PeriodicalId":120076,"journal":{"name":"IET Circuits Devices Syst.","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116239324","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For instance, real-time constraints cannot be guaranteed if a certain threshold temperature is exceeded, as it would immediately reduce the system reliability and performance. Dynamic thermal management techniques are promising methods to prevent a system from overheating. However, when designing real-time systems that make use of such thermal management techniques, the designer has to be aware of their effect on both real-time constraints and worst-case peak temperature. In particular, the worst-case peak temperature of a real-time system with non-deterministic workload is the maximum possible temperature under all feasible scenarios of task arrivals. This study proposes an analytic framework to calculate the worst-case peak temperature of a system with general resource availabilities, which means that computing power might not be fully available for certain time intervals. The event and resource models are based on real-time and network calculus, and therefore, our analysis method is able to handle a broad range of uncertainties in terms of task arrivals and available computing power. Finally, we propose an indicator for the quality of the resource model with respect to worst-case peak temperature and schedulability.","PeriodicalId":120076,"journal":{"name":"IET Circuits Devices Syst.","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124882554","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
