Modern many-core architectures (including GPUs) offer a promising alternative to traditional multi-core processors for improving runtime performance. In this work, we propose a GPU-accelerated simulated-annealing variant for FPGA placement. Our approach uses the Star+ wirelength model along with a novel method of efficiently generating large sets of independent swap operations, providing a high level of parallelism. Speedups from 5.4-89.2× (median 20.2×) were achieved over a single-core CPU-only implementation.","PeriodicalId":122918,"journal":{"name":"10th IEEE International NEWCAS Conference","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116787153","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 network utilizes distributed nodes with heterogeneous sensing capacity to create a rich collection of ecological data about climatic variations in the country. Using ZigBee-based communication protocols, mobile nodes in SoNET can exchange data and ensure data penetration to the weather server. Through experimental measurements, in this paper we demonstrate that SoNET can be an effective alternative to deploying expensive individual climate stations or challenging dense sensor networks. We also evaluate the performance of our proposed protocols for data exchange between mobile nodes.","PeriodicalId":122918,"journal":{"name":"10th IEEE International NEWCAS Conference","volume":"92 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121726038","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}

They are used in fields ranging from military, medical, to structural health monitoring for buildings for example. We have introduced an instruction set simulator in our IDEA1 WSN design framework to account for a fine-grained representation of the software running on the node hardware. We modelled the communication between the nodes' microcontrollers and their radio interface and microcontroller and sensor, respectively. This was done at transaction level by use of the SystemC simulation kernel.

The differential charge sharing architecture enables to A/D convert the convolution of multiple binary weighted pixels signals on multi-scale kernels. The CMOS image sensor is constituted of two tiers. An array of C-SAR is implemented on the bottom layer. Each C-SAR is associated to a square of 8×8 pixels on the top layer, with a pitch of 10μm and a fill factor of 80%. With regard to a standard differential SAR ADC, only multiplexing facilities are added in the C-SAR. This area over cost is 10 times lower than the surface induced by the memory required for a counterpart digital architecture. The total noise of 458μVRMS simulated at transistor level on a 65nm technology enables to reach a processing resolution of 9 signed bits on 0.5V pixels dynamic. As the processing is done within the conversion stage, no additional time is needed. With a power consumption of 400μW and a bandwidth of 1 mega-convolution per second, this processing architecture outputs a FOM of 6.25pJ/pixel.","PeriodicalId":122918,"journal":{"name":"10th IEEE International NEWCAS Conference","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114225660","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}

It is known that the hot-spots exhibit a characteristic frequency corresponding to their biological function. In this paper, a new technique using a statistically optimal null filter (SONF) is proposed to predict the locations of hot-spots in proteins. The technique involves detecting the characteristic frequency corresponding to hot-spots of interest. This is achieved using an instantaneous matched filter in SONF which increases the signal-to-noise ratio and the estimation is further improved by using a least squared optimization. Through examples it is shown that the proposed technique is more accurate and reliable as compared to the popular modified Morlet wavelet technique.","PeriodicalId":122918,"journal":{"name":"10th IEEE International NEWCAS Conference","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133324376","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}

In order to measure hydrogen concentration, conductance change of a miniaturized palladium nanowire sensor is measured and converted to a digital signal with 12-bit resolution, using an area-efficient readout circuit. The proposed microsystem has been implemented in a 0.18μm CMOS process and occupies a core area of only 0.47mm2.

The transistor and gate sizing tools are based on Geometric Programming (GP) and delay is calculated using the Elmore delay model. Tests were made mapping ISCAS'85 benchmark circuits for 45nm technology considering delay minimization. First, circuits were mapped to a typical standard cell library. Then, the gate sizing and transistor sizing were performed. Gate sizing reduced the delay by 21%, in average, for a same area and power values of the sizing provided by standard-cells library. After transistor sizing reduced delay by 40.4% and power consumption by 2.9%, in average, compared with gate sizing. However, transistor sizing requires a bigger computing time, using a number of variables twice higher than with gate sizing.","PeriodicalId":122918,"journal":{"name":"10th IEEE International NEWCAS Conference","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121827948","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}
