The delay variations are hardly predictable and thus require additional design margin and impede the chance to reduce area and power consumption of a chip. One way to alleviate the problem is to measure the circuit delay at run-time and control the supply voltage accordingly through a closed-loop dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (closed-loop DVFS) scheme. The circuit delay is typically measured by a monitoring circuit. However, the key issue of this scheme is the delay mismatch between the monitoring circuit and the target circuit block such as a CPU or a GPU. A large delay mismatch might lose the advantage of closed-loop DVFS. And it becomes worse as the circuit block operates in a wider voltage-range. This paper proposes a novel adaptive delay monitoring scheme for a wide voltage-range operation, which provides a better delay correlation between the monitor and the target compared to conventional monitoring approaches. The proposed approach reduces the average error in the measured delay by up to 45% and the maximum error by up to 68%. The reduction of the error brings the decrease of design margin, resulting in a lower-power and lower-cost design.","PeriodicalId":311352,"journal":{"name":"2016 Design, Automation & Test in Europe Conference & Exhibition (DATE)","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125764021","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}

Among the different ways that hardware faults can manifest in a system, errors related to the control flow of a program tend to be the most difficult to handle when ensuring reliable computing. Errors in the sequencing of instructions executed are usually catastrophic, resulting in system hangs, crashes, and/or corrupted data. For this reason, conventional approaches rely on some form of general redundancy for detecting or recovering from a control flow error. Due to the power constraints of emerging systems however, these types of conservative approaches are quickly becoming infeasible. Control Flow Checking by Software Signatures (CFCSS) is a software-based technique for detecting control flow errors [1] that using assigned signatures rather than by using general redundancy. Unfortunately, the performance overhead for CFCSS can still be as high as 80%-90% for many applications. In this paper, we propose a novel method for reducing the overhead of control flow checking by exploiting the regular control structure found in many applications. Specifically, we observe that the alternating sequence of conditional and unconditional based control allows for the full control signatures to be computed at alternating basic blocks. Based on experimental results of the proposed approach, we observe that the overheads of the traditional methods are reduced on average by 25.9%.","PeriodicalId":311352,"journal":{"name":"2016 Design, Automation & Test in Europe Conference & Exhibition (DATE)","volume":"102 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132467985","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 this paper, we first demonstrate that most energy-efficient choice is dependent on (1) workload (memory bound, CPU bound etc.), (2) process variation and (3) support for Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT). We then propose an approach for mapping application threads on SMT multicore systems at run-time, to minimize energy consumption. The proposed approach interfaces with the OS and hardware performance counters to characterize application threads. This characterization captures the effect of process variation on execution time and identifies the break-even operating point, where one strategy (slowdown or race-to-idle) outperforms the other. Thread mapping is performed using these characterized data by iteratively collapsing application threads (SMT) followed by binary programming-based thread mapping. Finally, performance slack is exploited at run-time to select between slowdown and race-to-idle, based upon the break-even operating point calculated for each individual thread. This end-to-end approach is implemented as a run-time manager for the Linux OS and is validated across a range of high performance applications. Results demonstrate up to 13% energy reduction over all state-of-the-art approaches, with an average of 18% improvement over Linux.","PeriodicalId":311352,"journal":{"name":"2016 Design, Automation & Test in Europe Conference & Exhibition (DATE)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130287636","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 achieve a high test coverage of vision-based surround sensing systems, a lot of different environmental conditions need to be tested. Unfortunately, it is by far too time-consuming to build test sets of all relevant environmental conditions by recording real video data. This paper presents a novel approach for ambient-aware virtual prototyping and robustness testing. We propose a method to significantly reduce the needed on-road recordings being used for design and validation of vision-based Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and fully automated driving. Our approach facilitates the generation of comparable test sets by using largely reduced amounts of real on-road recordings and applying computer-generated variations of falling rain to it in a comprehensive virtual prototyping environment. In combination with the simulation of camera properties, which influence the visual effects of falling rain to a great extent, we are able to generate different rain scenarios under a wide variety of parameters. Our approach has been applied to an automotive lane detection system using a series of multiple rain scenarios. We have explored, how falling rain can influence such a system and how such behavior can be detected using simulated rain scenarios.","PeriodicalId":311352,"journal":{"name":"2016 Design, Automation & Test in Europe Conference & Exhibition (DATE)","volume":"2015 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133896903","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}
