These approaches can reduce energy consumption of instruction memory. Each approach is formulated as an integer programming problem which simultaneously determines (1) partitioning of scratch-pad memory spaces for the tasks, and (2) allocation of functions to the scratch-pad memory space for each task. The experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed approaches.","PeriodicalId":246670,"journal":{"name":"2009 International Symposium on VLSI Design, Automation and Test","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128235018","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 ILFD circuit is realized with a double cross-coupled complementary MOSFET LC-tank oscillator with two injection MOSFETs across the resonator inductors for signal injection. The self-oscillating VCO is injection-locked by third-harmonic input to obtain the division factor of three. Measurement results show that at the supply voltage of 2.0 V, the free-running frequency is from 3.18 GHz to 3.316 GHz. At the incident power of 0dBm, the total locking range is from the incident frequency 9.41 GHz to 10.03 GHz.

Since the architecture of MSE can record the “survival state number,” which can also be the resulted decoded data, no decision bit is required during trace back and decoding. Therefore, the power and chip area of the survivor memory unit in the MSE method are smaller than those of the existing trace back approaches. The VD using MSE approach for (2, 1, 6) convolutional code was designed using TSMC 0.18µm 1P6M CMOS technology.

Our novel Communication Architecture Based Thermal Management (CBTM) scheme manages thermal behavior of components by delaying the execution of chosen IP-blocks or components by regulating the flow of data over the on-chip communication bus. This temperature aware traffic flow over the bus is achieved by dynamically changing the communication priority table in response to thermal readings from sensors. With CBTM, the temperatures of individual components can be controlled selectively. In this paper we demonstrate the effectiveness of CBTM on four industrial size SoC designs and also evaluate its performance impact. We observe that CBTM maintained thermal thresholds and reduced the peak temperature of an SoC by as much as 29°C.","PeriodicalId":246670,"journal":{"name":"2009 International Symposium on VLSI Design, Automation and Test","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133916922","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 main area where ESL solutions are being successfully applied on current desire flows is Virtual Prototyping. The success of these methods relies on the rapidly adoption from Semiconductor industry and EDA vendors of standards such as SystemC and TLM 2.0. Ideally. TLM models must be accurate enough, fast enough and easy to create in order to fit all Virtual Prototype use-cases. However reality shows that different requirements are achieved only by using different type of models (the right model for the right use-case). This is because TLM modeling is a multidimensional problem where the different dimensions (speed, timing accuracy and modeling effort) are orthogonal with each other. Having to create and maintain a separated model for each use-case is drastically reducing the benefits of VP technology, due to elevated cost of creating and maintaining the models consistent with each other. Therefore, model reuse and refinement is a must for the suceess of ESL technology. This paper describes modeling concepts that can be used to create speed optimal models with low effort, which can be gradually refined with more timing accuracy and therefore reused for different VP use-cases.","PeriodicalId":246670,"journal":{"name":"2009 International Symposium on VLSI Design, Automation and Test","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114674660","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}

Moreover, most state-of-the-art SRAMs employ replica timing control scheme to mitigate the effects of excessive leakage and variation, and NBTI/PBTI induced VT drifts can render the scheme ineffective or even useless. In this paper, we investigate impacts of NBTI and PBTI on SRAM Write operations based on PTM 32nm CMOS technology node poly-gate and high-k metal-gate models. We propose an NBTI/PBTI tolerant Write-replica timing control scheme to mitigate Write margin and performance degradation. By using multi-bank architecture and biasing the virtual supply line of inactive timing-critical circuits to GND to minimize the stress time and maximize the “Recovery” period, the NBTI/PBTI induced SRAM Write performance degradation can be reduced by around 32–48%.","PeriodicalId":246670,"journal":{"name":"2009 International Symposium on VLSI Design, Automation and Test","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129494372","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}
