Even though a fresh metal oxide RRAM sampled in the pristine state cannot exhibit resistive switching before electroforming, the integration of the electroforming circuit in RRAM based applications has not been discussed thoroughly. A major challenge in integrating forming circuits is the high voltage required for the forming process. The 4T-1R structure used for the implementation extends the applicability of the array to inference as well as training. The ADCs used to convert the RRAM current to digital output consume lots of area and power. They also suffer from nonlinearity that needs special attention, increasing the design complexity. In this work, we present an RRAM array with a circuit designed to isolate the peripheral circuitry during forming to avoid malfunctioning. We also propose an RRAM current sensor circuit that converts the RRAM current to output pulses that are converted to digital output. Since there is a large gap between the two resistive states, the synapse is tolerant to 25% cycle-to-cycle and device-to-device variation. We test the functionality of the array in the presence of Random Telegraph Noise (RTN) that is inherent to RRAM. The compliance current for the proposed design is 100 µA. The proposed RRAM array is 2.7× more energy efficient than the recent state-of-the-art designs. The area of the RRAM current sensor circuit is 18.1µm × 27.3µm.","PeriodicalId":315053,"journal":{"name":"2023 24th International Symposium on Quality Electronic Design (ISQED)","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132258725","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}

Key encapsulation mechanism (KEM) Saber, a module lattice-based PQC, is one of the four encryption scheme finalists in the third-round National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) standardization process. In this paper, we propose a novel Toeplitz Matrix-Vector Product (TMVP)-based design strategy to efficiently implement polynomial multiplication (essential arithmetic operation) for KEM Saber. The proposed work consists of three layers of interdependent efforts: (i) first of all, we have formulated the polynomial multiplication of KEM Saber into a desired mathematical form for further developing into the proposed TMVP-based algorithm for high-performance operation; (ii) then, we have followed the proposed TMVP-based algorithm to innovatively transfer the derived algorithm into a unified polynomial multiplication structure (fits all security ranks) with the help of a series of algorithm-to-architecture co-implementation/mapping techniques; (iii) finally, detailed implementation results and complexity analysis have confirmed the efficiency of the proposed TMVP design strategy. Specifically, the field-programmable gate array (FPGA) implementation results show that the proposed design has at least less 30.92% area-delay product (ADP) than the competing ones.","PeriodicalId":315053,"journal":{"name":"2023 24th International Symposium on Quality Electronic Design (ISQED)","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132433384","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}

Recent advance mainly targets at pruning neuron through heuristic \"hard\" constraints or through penalizing neurons. However, these two methods heavily rely on expert knowledge in designing model-and-task-specific constraints and penalization, which prohibits easily applying pruning to general models. In this paper, we propose an automatic non-expert-friendly differentiable subnetwork search algorithm which dynamically adjusts the layer-wise neuron-pruning penalty based on sensitivity of Lagrangian multipliers. The idea is to introduce \"soft\" neuron-cardinality layer-wise constraints and then relax them through Lagrangian multipliers. The sensitivity nature of the multipliers is then exploited to iteratively determine the appropriate pruning penalization hyper-parameters during the differentiable neuron pruning procedure. In this way, the model weight, model subnetwork and layer-wise penalty hyper-parameters are simultaneously learned, relieving the prior knowledge requirements and reducing the time for trail-and-error. Results show that our method can select the state-of-the-art slim subnetwork architecture. For VGG-like on CIFAR10, more than 6× neuron compression rate is achieved without accuracy drop and without retraining. Accuracy rates of 66.3% and 57.8% are achieved for 150M and 50M FLOPs for MobileNetV1, and accuracy rates of 73.46% and 66.94% are achieved for 200M and 100M FLOPs for MobileNetV2, respectively.","PeriodicalId":315053,"journal":{"name":"2023 24th International Symposium on Quality Electronic Design (ISQED)","volume":"27 4","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120841629","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}

For high performance, sorting-hardware based sorting designs are implemented by conventional binary or emerging stochastic computing (SC) approaches. Binary designs are fast and energy-efficient but costly to implement. SC-based designs, on the other hand, are area and power-efficient but slow and energy-hungry. So, the previous studies of the hardware-based sorting further faced scalability issues. In this work, we propose a novel scalable low-cost design for implementing sorting networks. We borrow the concept of SC for the area- and power efficiency but use weighted stochastic bit-streams to address the high latency and energy consumption issue of SC designs. A new lock and swap (LAS) unit is proposed to sort weighted bit-streams. The LAS-based sorting network can determine the result of comparing different input values early and then map the inputs to the corresponding outputs based on shorter weighted bit-streams. Experimental results show that the proposed design approach achieves much better hardware scalability than prior work. Especially, as increasing the number of inputs, the proposed scheme can reduce the energy consumption by about 3.8% - 93% compared to prior binary and SC-based designs.","PeriodicalId":315053,"journal":{"name":"2023 24th International Symposium on Quality Electronic Design (ISQED)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121886731","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}

A recently proposed device, based on a twisted bilayer graphene (tBLG) on hexagonal boron nitride(hBN) shows immense promise as a scalable cryogenic memory. This device exhibits two topologically-protected variation tolerant non-volatile resistive states governed by the quantum anomalous Hall effect (QAHE). The implied memory states are read by the direction of the Hall voltage appearing across the two terminals of the device. The four terminal structure of the device and the Hall voltage property can be utilized to design a compact memory array suitable for in-memory computing. In this work, we design a simple in-memory binary multiplier, otherwise a complex circuit with traditional technologies, by utilizing the series addition of Hall voltages in the memory array. In addition, our novel in-memory binary-multiplier does not explicitly change the memory array architecture unlike DRAM in-memory multipliers. We also demonstrate bit-wise AND operation and partial product summation using our proposed design. Compared to a cutting-edge in-memory DRAM implementation our design is highly compact and significantly reduces processing complexity. Our simulations show an ultra-low power budget of 52nW /bit multiplication. Our designs demonstrate that QAHE devices are powerful candidates for future cryogenic in-memory computing.","PeriodicalId":315053,"journal":{"name":"2023 24th International Symposium on Quality Electronic Design (ISQED)","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126471367","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 work aims to characterize on-chip EdDSA using four different state-of-the-art (SOTA) multipliers. Multiplier forms critical design component in the EdDSA implementation, hence different SOTA multipliers are characterized for hardware metrics and its impact on the overall EdDSA module is investigated. Four different multipliers in the form of Conventional polynomial (CA), Karat-suba (KA), overlap-free-Karatsuba (OKA), overlap-free based multilpier strategy (OBS), along with the default array multiplier which are traditionally employed in hardware designs were investigated for 32-bit and 64-bit data format individually. These multipliers were further employed for designing on-chip EdDSA and its characteristics are presented. CA based on-chip EdDSA was characterized to work reliably at a maximum operating frequency of 120 MHz, whereas OBS and OKA derived on-chip EdDSA presented the most compact on-chip designs. The on-chip EdDSA work is a step towards attaining reliable on-chip cryptosystems in the future.","PeriodicalId":315053,"journal":{"name":"2023 24th International Symposium on Quality Electronic Design (ISQED)","volume":"122 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125731846","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}
