Due to the battery limitations of such edge devices, energy consumption has become a major problem. Tree-based models, such as Decision Trees (DTs) and Random Forests (RFs), are well-known ML tools that provide higher than standard accuracy results for several tasks. These tools are convenient for battery-powered devices due to their simplicity, and they can be further optimized with approximate computing techniques. This paper explores gate-level pruning for DTs and RFs. By using a framework that generates VLSI descriptions of the ML models, we investigate gate-level pruning to the mapped netlist generated after logic synthesis for three case studies. Several analyses on the energy- and area-accuracy trade-offs were performed and we found that we can obtain significant energy and area savings for small or even negligible accuracy drops, which indicates that pruning techniques can be applied to optimize tree-based hardware implementations.","PeriodicalId":356481,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE 13th Latin America Symposium on Circuits and System (LASCAS)","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115794074","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 read those detectors circuits must, on the one hand, be fast enough to capture the signals, and on the other hand, manage the detector capacitance. Also, they must deal with SiPM gain variations depending on external variables, and read the complete range of fired pixels. This work aims to design and tape-out a SiPM readout chip that reads high-capacitance SiPMs with up to 3000 pixels and to control their gain. To achieve those objectives, a 4 channel chip was designed using a 180 nm CMOS technology, with bias voltage control of each detector to adjust their gains. The integrated circuit called TISIRC was designed, simulated, fabricated, and soon it will be tested.","PeriodicalId":356481,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE 13th Latin America Symposium on Circuits and System (LASCAS)","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117038250","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}

Standard 12-Lead ECG setup is most commonly used by doctors for the diagnosis. But the promising type of wearable ECG device uses minimal wire setup on the body to increase patients' comfort resulting in fewer recorded leads, mainly single lead. There is a need to reconstruct the remaining leads from these less recorded leads. Accounting for this, we are proposing a novel Single Lead to 12-Lead ECG reconstruction methodology using convolution neural networks (CNN) and long short term memory (LSTM). In the proposed methodology, lead-II is taken as the basis lead to reconstruct the remaining independent leads (I, V1, V2, V3, V4, V5, and V6). Seven individual models corresponding to the above mentioned seven independent leads have been trained, where each model takes lead-II as input and gives I/V1/V2/V3/V4/V5/V6 as output. Leads III, aVR, aVL, and aVF are reconstructed using a standard approach using original lead II and reconstructed lead I signals, without the need for deep learning models. The proposed methodology was evaluated on myocardial infarction data from PTBDB using R2 statistics, correlation coefficient, and regression coefficient. The mean values averaged across all the 11 leads of the stated performance metrics obtained were 93.62%, 0.973, and 0.959, respectively.","PeriodicalId":356481,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE 13th Latin America Symposium on Circuits and System (LASCAS)","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133450318","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}

Utilizing the state-of-the-art ROUP approximate multipliers, we systematically explore their fine-grained distribution across the network according to our layer-, filter-, and kernel-level approaches, and examine their impact on accuracy and energy. We use the ResNet-8 model on the CIFAR-10 dataset to evaluate our approximations.

On the other hand, the circuit susceptibility to faults is increasing. The Triple Modular Redundancy with a majority voter presents a 100% fault coverage for single faults in the modules, but it has more than 200% of area overhead. Approximate computing is used to create Approximate Triple Modular Redundancy (ATMR) modules, reducing area overhead. This work proposes a fast method to obtain approximate modules for an ATMR architecture. This is done using variables with the highest correlation with the output to create approximate solutions. The generated ATMRs have in the best case an area overhead of 86% and an error rate of 3.6%. Our method generates ATMR functions 7 orders of magnitude faster on average when compared to [1]. Therefore, the proposed method presents higher scalability capable of embracing higher complex-ity designs. The low computational cost of finding the solutions is key to turning feasible using ATMR in complex designs.","PeriodicalId":356481,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE 13th Latin America Symposium on Circuits and System (LASCAS)","volume":"479 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116167229","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}
