Hence, to reduce power consumption, the number of multiplications has to be minimized. The number of Signed-Power-of-Two (SPT) terms in the filter coefficients has to be optimally minimized, without compromising on the filter response. A modified Differential Evolution (MDE) algorithm has been used to generate optimized coefficients for digital FIR filters. The filters designed using MDE and the standard Remez (REM) Exchange method are synthesized in 90nm technology and their performances are compared. The critical delay, area and power of MDE implementation are found to improve by 6%, 12% and 16%respectively with respect to REM.","PeriodicalId":349073,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Symposium on Electronic System Design","volume":"81 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129877283","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}

While former needs the support of higher precision formats like Double Precision(DP) / Extended Precision(EP), the latter needs Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD) feature in Single Precision (SP) mode. This paper presents the design of an FPM catering to both the needs using a hierarchical design approach. The FPM supports nine parallel SP multiplications every cycle with a latency of two cycles and one DP/EP multiplication every cycle with a latency of three cycles. The FPM is architected to support all four IEEE rounding modes. Compared to other FPMs that support multiple precision and SIMD processing, our FPM achieves 9x throughput for vectored SP mode without penalising the throughput for DP/EP modes. This improvement in performance is achieved at a modest cost of 30 percent more area and 11 percent more power. The modular architecture of the proposed FPM results in significant power reduction upto 80 percent for scalar SP mode.","PeriodicalId":349073,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Symposium on Electronic System Design","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117087194","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}

HS is a relatively new meta-heuristic inspired from musical process, in which population represents memory of a group of musicians, that searches for a perfect state of harmony. Performance of HS is compared with Differential Evolution (DE) algorithm for design of a 180nm CMOS process based Folded Cascode Operational Trans-conductance Amplifier (FCOTA) with continuous time common mode feedback. Results show that, at initial period of iterations, HS converges quickly but fails to converge to the global optimum as compared to DE algorithm.","PeriodicalId":349073,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Symposium on Electronic System Design","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116443529","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 counter this researchers have proposed various bit-cell and non-bit-cell oriented designs. However, the proposed techniques require additional circuitry and hence account for large area overhead. In this paper we propose the use of rise time of word-line signal as a measure to reduce the impact of the process variations on the SRAM cells. Simulation results show that using a higher rise time resulted in drastic reduction in the number of cells that fail to read or write. Number of cells that can successfully write or read improved from 82% to 98.2% and 90% to 98.8% respectively.

JPEG-XR surely has several advantages over JPEG in terms of higher dynamic range, image tiling capability and higher compression ratios. However it still needs some time before it is actually deployed and accepted by the imaging community. JPEG standard currently has wide-spread usage right from software utilities for viewing and processing images, to support in browsers and to even having dedicated hardware engines to encode and decode JPEG images. In this paper we try to explore the possibilities of interoperability issues in JPEG-XR usage model with reference to handling of non-standard YUV images. When non-standard YUV images are processed by JPEG-XR encoder and decoder, the image viewers cannot display proper images. Based on the simulation results obtained from this study, we show that the proposed approach can overcome the limitation and enable proper images being viewed. In all, we propose three possible approaches that can be followed to make JPEG-XR deployment a user-friendly experience.","PeriodicalId":349073,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Symposium on Electronic System Design","volume":"255 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131735997","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}
