The sensors embedded into functional circuits capture delay variations due to not only die-to-die process variation but also random process variation, environmental fluctuation and aging. By compensating circuit performance according to the sensor outputs, we can overcome PVT worst-case design and reduce power dissipation while satisfying circuit performance. We applied the adaptive speed control to subthreshold circuits that are very sensitive to random variation and environmental fluctuation. Measurement results of a 65nm test chip show that the adaptive speed control can compensate PVT variations and improve energy efficiency by up to 46% compared to the worst-case design and operation with guardbanding.","PeriodicalId":316253,"journal":{"name":"16th Asia and South Pacific Design Automation Conference (ASP-DAC 2011)","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-01-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125913387","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 traditional methods, either simulation-based or static, have the disadvantage of low efficiency and coarse bounds, which may lead to unnecessary bits. In this paper, we propose a new method that combines several techniques to perform fixed-point range analysis in a datapath towards obtaining the much tighter ranges efficiently.

Extreme process variation and high failure rate due to nondeter-ministic self assembly fabrication process pose serious challenges for logic implementation in this technology. In this paper, we analyze the effect of variations on mapped designs and propose an efficient mapping method to reduce variation effects on crossbar nano-architectures. This method takes advantage of reconfigurability and abundance of resources for tolerating variation and improving reliability. The main idea is based on duplicating crossbar input lines as well as swapping rows (columns) of a crossbar to reduce the output dependency and be able to reduce delay variation. Experimental results on a set of benchmarks show that the proposed method can reduce critical path delay up to 74% (57% in average).","PeriodicalId":316253,"journal":{"name":"16th Asia and South Pacific Design Automation Conference (ASP-DAC 2011)","volume":"360 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-01-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121719401","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}

Circuits mapped into traditional LUT-based logic elements have speeds that can be achieved by alternative logic elements that consume considerably less silicon area. We introduce the concept of a trimming input to a logic function, which is an input to a K-variable function about which Shannon decomposition produces a cofactor having fewer than K −1 variables. We show that trimming inputs occur frequently in circuits and we propose low-cost asymmetric FPGA logic element architectures that leverage the trimming input concept, as well as some other properties of a circuit's AND-inverter graph (AIG) functional representation. We describe synthesis techniques for the proposed architectures that combine a standard cut-based FPGA technology mapping algorithm with two straightforward procedures: 1) Shannon decomposition, and 2) finding non-inverting paths in the circuit's AIG. The proposed architectures exhibit improved logic density versus traditional LUT-based architectures with minimal impact on circuit speed.","PeriodicalId":316253,"journal":{"name":"16th Asia and South Pacific Design Automation Conference (ASP-DAC 2011)","volume":"69 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-01-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114482485","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 novel design-manufacturing system that the manufacturing tolerance reflecting design intention properly can be allocated to the layout has been proposed. According to the system, one can assign the “weak portion” explicitly on the layout, and can control the process for reducing the burden of manufacturing and further getting higher yield. More specifically, the extraction of electrically critical portion and conversion to the manufacturing tolerance has been demonstrated. The tolerance has applied to reduce computational burden of mask data preparation. Besides, the yield model-based layout scoring system has been also suggested to be significant remarkably.

However, clock skew scheduling, which has great impact on criticality of combinational paths in sequential circuit, has not been explored in the merit of MSV assignment. In this paper, we propose a discrete voltage assignment algorithm for sequential circuit under clock scheduling. The sequential MSV assignment problem is first formulated as a convex cost dual network flow problem, which can be optimally solved in polynomial time assuming delay of each gate can be chosen in continuous domain. Then a mincut-based heuristic is designed to convert the unfeasible continuous solution into feasible discrete solution while largely preserving the global optimality. Besides, we revisit the hardness of the general discrete voltage assignment problem and point out some misunderstandings on the approximability of this problem in previous related work. Benchmark test for our algorithm shows 9.2% reduction in power consumption on average, in compared with combinational MSV assignment. Referring to the continuous solution obtained from network flow as the lower bound, the gap between our solution and the lower bound is only 1.77%.","PeriodicalId":316253,"journal":{"name":"16th Asia and South Pacific Design Automation Conference (ASP-DAC 2011)","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-01-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132221995","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}

To overcome these faults, NoC routing schemes can be enhanced by adding fault tolerance capabilities, so that they can adapt communication flows to follow fault-free paths. A majority of existing fault tolerant routing algorithms are based on the turn model approach due to its simplicity and inherent freedom from deadlock. However, these turn model based algorithms are either too restrictive in the choice of paths that flits can traverse, or are tailored to work efficiently only on very specific fault distribution patterns. In this paper, we propose a novel fault tolerant routing scheme (NS-FTR) for NoC architectures that combines the North-last and South-last turn models to create a robust hybrid NoC routing scheme. The proposed scheme is shown to have a low implementation overhead and adapt to design time and runtime faults better than existing turn model, stochastic random walk, and dual virtual channel based routing schemes.","PeriodicalId":316253,"journal":{"name":"16th Asia and South Pacific Design Automation Conference (ASP-DAC 2011)","volume":"66 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-01-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132530117","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}
