The advantage of such a system is that errors can be caught as soon as they occur, and thus data contamination is prevented. Although much effort has been concentrated on the design of self-checking checkers by previous researchers, very few results have been presented for the design of self-checking functional circuits, and fewer still for the design of self-checking systems. Methods are explored for the cost-effective design of combinational and sequential functional circuits, checkers and systems.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":239827,"journal":{"name":"[1991 Proceedings] IEEE International Conference on Computer Design: VLSI in Computers and Processors","volume":"67 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127411021","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}

Fault-tolerant model of neural computing 神经计算的容错模型

A mixed-mode redundancy is a combination of spatial redundancy and temporal redundancy. The redundancy is based on the homogeneity of both structures and operations of neurons in neural networks. This fault-tolerant model can be applied to both hardware architecture and parallel software simulation. By storing multiple sets of weights in a neuron and recomputing the outputs of this neuron at other different neurons, faults in the neuron can be detected and the output errors can be corrected. The degree of the fault tolerance of this model is analyzed. Further, the sufficient conditions for detecting errors and recovering outputs are also presented. The model can highly increase the reliability of neural computing so that a fairly large number of faulty neurons can be detected and that the outputs of these faulty neurons can be recovered.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":239827,"journal":{"name":"[1991 Proceedings] IEEE International Conference on Computer Design: VLSI in Computers and Processors","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115676356","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 interconnection line is considered to be driven by a MOS gate source, MOS gate loads, and RC interconnection branches. The minimum number of required RC sections is obtained for each case of driving an interconnection line and for a specified average relative error. Also, a rule based on the worst case of driving an interconnection branch in a complex RC tree network is proposed in order to automatically determine the recommended number of RC sections. This can be used as a first step before timing simulations.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":239827,"journal":{"name":"[1991 Proceedings] IEEE International Conference on Computer Design: VLSI in Computers and Processors","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115122915","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}

Robust path delay-fault testability on dynamic CMOS circuits 动态CMOS电路的鲁棒路径延迟故障可测试性

It is demonstrated that the concepts of static sensitizability and robust path delay-fault (RPDF) testability are synonymous on these circuits, and that hence RPDF testability is somewhat easier on these circuits than on static logic circuits. It is also argued that a less restrictive testability condition than the RPDF criterion detects all path delay-faults which will affect the operation of the circuit. It is shown that the set of test vectors which satisfies this less-restrictive condition is exactly the union of the on-sets of the primary circuit outputs.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":239827,"journal":{"name":"[1991 Proceedings] IEEE International Conference on Computer Design: VLSI in Computers and Processors","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124038731","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 SFG-tracing methodology is a multi-level design verification paradigm that aims at bridging the gap between higher level specifications down to lower level implementations up to the transistor switch level. The concepts of the SFG-tracing methodology are illustrated by the automatic verification of a transistor level implementation of a small chip generated from its high level specification by the Cathedral-II silicon compiler. This application, although simple, includes a datapath, register files, a multi-branch micro coded controller, and additional circuitry as necessary for design for testability measures. This application illustrates the SFG-tracing verification methodology as applied to one member of a partitioned SFG behavioral specification. Experimental results on more complex, completely verified designs of 32000 transistors demonstrate the feasibility of the approach.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":239827,"journal":{"name":"[1991 Proceedings] IEEE International Conference on Computer Design: VLSI in Computers and Processors","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128745825","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 goal of this work is a design style as close to a synchronous one as possible, but with the advantages of an asynchronous method. The implementations realize asynchronous state-machine specifications using standard combinational logic, flow latches as storage elements, and a locally-generated clocking signal that pulses whenever there is a change in state. This design style allows multiple input changes which can arrive at arbitrary times. The implementations use a minimal or near-minimal number of states. It also allows arbitrary state encoding and flexibility in logic minimization and gate-level realization, so it can take advantage of systematic CAD optimization techniques.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":239827,"journal":{"name":"[1991 Proceedings] IEEE International Conference on Computer Design: VLSI in Computers and Processors","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130880782","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}
