Traditional delay diagnosis algorithm has a limited support for cell internal timing related failures based on transition delay faults, and tends to provide a large suspect list. It cannot provide the precise defect location inside the cell that is necessary for effective physical failure analysis and statistical yield learning. In this work, we present a new cell-aware delay diagnosis algorithm, based on accurate delay fault models derived by analog simulation, which can pinpoint the defect location within a cell for various timing related cell internal defects. Preliminary results for real silicon failures show that significant diagnosis resolution improvement can be achieved by the proposed method.","PeriodicalId":369130,"journal":{"name":"VLSI Design, Automation and Test(VLSI-DAT)","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-04-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133701127","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 particular, leakage power is becoming a dominant source of power consumption. In recent years, the reconfigurable single-electron transistor (SET) array has been proposed as an emerging circuit design style for continuing Moore's Law due to its ultra-low power consumption. Several automated synthesis techniques for area minimization have been developed for the reconfigurable SET array in the past few years. Nevertheless, most of those existing methods focus on variable and product term reordering during SET mapping. In fact, minimizing the number of product terms can greatly reduce the area as well, which has not been well addressed before. In this paper, we propose a dynamic shifting based variable ordering algorithm that can minimize the number of disjoint sum-of-product terms extracted from the given ROBDD. Experimental results show that the proposed method can achieve an area reduction of up to 49% as compared to current state-of-the-art techniques.","PeriodicalId":369130,"journal":{"name":"VLSI Design, Automation and Test(VLSI-DAT)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-04-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132491891","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 trinocular DE hardware is the enhanced version of the recently published binocular AWDE implementation. The T-AWDE hardware generates a very high-quality depth map by merging two depth maps obtained from the center-left and center-right camera pairs. The T-AWDE hardware enhances disparity results by applying a double checking scheme which solves most of the occlusion problems existing in the AWDE implementation while providing correct disparity results even for objects located at left or right edge of the center image. The proposed T-AWDE hardware architecture enables handling 55 frames per second on a Virtex-7 FPGA at a 1024×768 XGA video resolution for a 128 pixels disparity range.","PeriodicalId":369130,"journal":{"name":"VLSI Design, Automation and Test(VLSI-DAT)","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-04-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121026701","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}

Traditional floorplanning focuses on minimizing wirelength and area. As design complexity grows, more and more nets need to be routed in a chip, which makes routing difficulty increase dramatically in modern ICs. Hence, it is necessary to consider net routability during floorplanning. This paper proposes the first work to consider routability and wirelength in floorplanning with fixed-outline constraint by using an analytical based approach. To estimate congestion more accurately, we also propose a new model to measure net usages, and transform the model into differentiable functions such that they can be solved by the optimization approach. The proposed method is efficient and effective, and the experimental results demonstrate the approach can actually reduce overflows without increasing routing wirelength.","PeriodicalId":369130,"journal":{"name":"VLSI Design, Automation and Test(VLSI-DAT)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-04-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130831599","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 reduce the extra power source and level-shifter a single voltage IO cell is proposed with less than 28% performance degradation.

The BER performance is severely degraded by the non-ideal carrier frequency in 60 GHz bandwidth, which causes both common phase error (CPE) and residual carrier frequency offset (RCFO). The proposed simplified two-stage CPE algorithm solves the RCFO and common phase nose in the frequency domain and eliminates the constellation rotation on each sub-channel. Two-stage architecture together with deep pipelining technique achieves a high throughput rate.

In this work, we introduce an Adaptive Granularity and coordinated Prefetching (AGP) that consists of a coarse-grained and fine-grained prefetched mechanism to provide a better caching environment for parallel applications. AGP targets on the degree-adjusting and location-choosing and tries to minimize the influence caused by prefetcher for each core. AGP could produce more timely prefetched requests reducing the cache pollutions and contentions. Across a variety of PARSEC benchmarks, AGP can contribute 6.5% (up to 36%) of performance improvement on a 4-core multicore system compared to the non-prefetching.","PeriodicalId":369130,"journal":{"name":"VLSI Design, Automation and Test(VLSI-DAT)","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-04-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130564872","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}
