Given the intricate designs and workloads of multi or many-core processors, it is computationally exhaustive to develop models that accurately calculate the temperature and performance of a given processor under various operating conditions. To abstract the underlying design complexity, we propose the use of supervised machine learning techniques to develop versatile models that capture the thermal characterization of multi-core processors under various input conditions and workloads. We then use the developed models to create a framework where various design constraints and objectives are expressed and solved using combinatorial optimization techniques. Using established power modeling and thermal simulation tools, we show that it is possible to boost the performance of multi-core processors by up to 11.4% at no impact to the maximum temperature.","PeriodicalId":166672,"journal":{"name":"Proceeding of the 13th international symposium on Low power electronics and design (ISLPED '08)","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-08-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128302100","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}

Through modeling process variations into a random vector, we show that the standard cell leakage can be modeled as an inverse Gaussian random variable and further demonstrate that full-chip leakage can also be approximated to be an inverse Gaussian random variable. Hence, the leakage estimation problem is reduced to the estimation of the mean value and variance of the full-chip leakage. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is over 1000X faster than Monte Carlo simulation while the maximum estimation error is less than 6%.","PeriodicalId":166672,"journal":{"name":"Proceeding of the 13th international symposium on Low power electronics and design (ISLPED '08)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-08-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127870554","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 the first, limited decision errors are introduced in the add-compare-select units (ACSUs) of a VD to reduce their critical path delays so that they can be operated at lower supply voltages in absence of timing errors. In the second one, we allow data-dependent timing errors which occur whenever a critical path in the ACSU is excited. Algorithmic noise-tolerance (ANT) is then applied at the level of the ACSU to correct for these errors. Power reduction in this design is achieved by either overscaling the supply voltage (voltage overscaling (VOS)) or designing at the nominal process corner and supply voltage (average-case design). Power savings in the first and second design are 58% and 40% at a coding loss of 0:15 dB and 1:1 dB respectively in a IBM 130 nm CMOS process.","PeriodicalId":166672,"journal":{"name":"Proceeding of the 13th international symposium on Low power electronics and design (ISLPED '08)","volume":"422 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-08-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116086796","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 proposed platform measures device speed during post-fabrication testing. Then the fast die is marked so that the body-bias circuit turns on and reduces leakage current of the die that is selected and marked in a user application. Because the slow die around the speed specifications of a product is not body-biased, the product runs as fast as a normal non-body-biasing product. Although the leakage power of a fast die is reduced, the speed specification does not change. The proposed platform improves the worst corner specification comprising the two worst cases of speed and leakage power. The test chip, fabricated using 45-nm technology, improves the worst corner of stand-by leakage power vs. speed by 70%.","PeriodicalId":166672,"journal":{"name":"Proceeding of the 13th international symposium on Low power electronics and design (ISLPED '08)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-08-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123967515","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}

Reliability has become a major concern for SRAM designs in modern technologies. Both local mismatch and scaled VDD degrade read stability and write ability. Several static approaches, including traditional SNM, BL margin, and the N-curve method, can be used to measure static write margin. However, static approaches cannot indicate the impact of dynamic dependencies on cell stability. We propose to analyze dynamic write ability by considering the write operation as a noise event that we analyze using dynamic stability criteria. We also define dynamic write ability as the critical pulse width for a write. By using this dynamic criterion, we evaluate the existing static write margin metrics at normal and scaled supply voltages and assess their limitations. The dynamic write time metric can also be used to improve the accuracy of VCCmin estimation for active VDD scaling designs.","PeriodicalId":166672,"journal":{"name":"Proceeding of the 13th international symposium on Low power electronics and design (ISLPED '08)","volume":"67 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-08-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128329285","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 H.264/AVC video coding standard is one of the latest video codecs and features a complex Motion Estimation scheme that accounts for a major part of the encoder energy. We therefore present a power-aware Motion Estimator for H.264 that adapts at run time according to the available energy level. We perform a set of adaptations at different Processing Stages of Motion Estimation. Our results show that in case of CIF videos (typically used in portable devices; but our approach is equally applicable to other video resolutions too), we achieve an average energy reduction of 52 times and 27 times as compared to UMHexagonS and EPZS respectively. This energy saving comes at the cost of an average loss of only 0.39 dB in Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR: an objective quality measure) and 23% increase in area (synthesized for 90 nm technology).","PeriodicalId":166672,"journal":{"name":"Proceeding of the 13th international symposium on Low power electronics and design (ISLPED '08)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-08-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129975429","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}
