Solving such systems in real time is very demanding. This paper focuses on reducing the computational complexity of a direct Cholesky-decomposition-based solver. Our approximation scheme builds on the observation that, in well-conditioned problems, many elements in the decomposition nearly vanish. Such elements may be pruned from the dependency graph with mild accuracy degradation. Using an example from image-domain warping, we show that pruning reduces the amount of operations per solve by over 75 %, resulting in significant savings in computing time, area or energy.","PeriodicalId":433816,"journal":{"name":"2014 51st ACM/EDAC/IEEE Design Automation Conference (DAC)","volume":"89 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122627864","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}

We use a novel density function based on electrostatics to remove overlap and Nesterov's method to minimize the nonlinear cost. Steplength is estimated as the inverse of Lipschitz constant, which is determined by our dynamic prediction and backtracking method. An approximated preconditioner is proposed to resolve the difference between large macros and standard cells, while an annealing engine is devised to handle macro legalization followed by placement of standard cells. The above innovations are integrated into our placement prototype ePlace, which outperforms the leading-edge placers on respective standard-cell and mixed-size benchmark suites.

In this paper, we propose a framework for run-time aging and power optimization. Our technique is based on the observation that many GPGPU applications achieve optimal performance with only a portion of cores due to either bandwidth saturation or shared resource contention. During run-time, given the dynamically tracked NBTI-induced threshold voltage shift and the problem size of GPGPU applications, our algorithm returns the optimal number of cores using detailed performance modeling. The unused cores are power-gated for power saving and NBTI recovery. Experiments show that our proposed technique achieves on average 34% reduction in NBTI-induced threshold voltage shift and 19% power reduction, while the average performance degradation is less than 1%.","PeriodicalId":433816,"journal":{"name":"2014 51st ACM/EDAC/IEEE Design Automation Conference (DAC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133023050","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}

VIX improves switch allocation by allowing more than one input VC of an input port to transmit flits in the same cycle. Also, more input VCs can participate in the output arbitration, reducing the chances of uncoordinated decisions.

Among various techniques, quasi-delay-insensitive (QDI) design is promising due to its very relaxed timing assumption. Its expensive logic overhead, however, often nullifies its promise of performance and power improvements, and remains a major obstacle against its adoption. To overcome this obstacle, this paper proposes an efficient static performance analysis procedure and a synthesis flow for precharged half buffer (PCHB) and weak-conditioned half buffer (WCHB) circuit optimization.

The proposed approach, called SHiFA, is able to tolerate run-time faults at system level without any hardware overhead. In contrast to the existing system-level methods, network resources are also considered to be potentially faulty. Accordingly, applications are mapped onto healthy nodes of the system at run-time such that their interaction will not require the use of faulty elements. By utilizing the simple routing approach, results show 100% utilizability of PEs and 99.41% of successful mapping when up to 8 links are broken.

However, the system design and verification methodologies that capture the complexity of multistandard RF SoC's are still limited. In this paper, an HDL design methodology is introduced for multistandard RF SoC's, which covers all the design layers from system design, to automatic extraction of the models from circuits and a systematic top level verification. The offered HDL based design methodology combines top down and bottom up design approaches, and brings the design and verification closer by reflecting the circuits to models automatically via an Automatic Parameter Extraction (APX) tool. System or block level verification is obtained with models automatically by overnight runs, without the need for extra test benches or designer interaction. This enables short term detection of functional errors or performance losses. A first time tape out of a multimode Bluetooth transceiver SoC is designed and fabricated in 8 months by using the offered methodology. The accuracy of the system level simulations show a very good match with the measurement results after fabrication. The test SoC is fabricated with 0.13 μm CMOS technology.","PeriodicalId":433816,"journal":{"name":"2014 51st ACM/EDAC/IEEE Design Automation Conference (DAC)","volume":"148 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123402913","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}

Furthermore, the experimental verification of synchronization of STNOs could allow communication and computation with nanoscaled oscillators.

First, we show that an array of electrically coupled STNOs obey the dynamics of Kuramoto's weakly coupled oscillators [1]. This behavior allows us to use the STNO array to implement the oscillatory neurocomputer proposed by Hoppensteadt et. al. [2]. We next consider practical STNO device geometries which can be used in a parallel-connected array. We propose using a dual barrier magnetic tunnel junction (DMTJ) to produce strong, harmonic oscillation signals in the absence on an external magnetic field.

Thermoelectric coolers (TECs) generate heat during their operation. This heat plus the heat generated in the circuit should be transferred to the ambient environment in order to avoid high die temperatures. This paper describes a hybrid cooling solution in which TECs are augmented with forced-convection coolers (fans). Precisely, an optimization framework called OFTEC is presented which finds the optimum TEC driving current and the fan speed to minimize the overall power consumption of the cooling system while maintaining safe die temperatures. Simulation results on a set of eight benchmarks show the benefits of the proposed approach. In particular, a baseline system without TECs but with a fan could meet the thermal constraint for only three of the benchmarks whereas the OFTEC solution satisfied thermal constraints for all benchmarks. In addition, OFTEC resulted in 5.4% less average power consumption for the aforesaid three benchmarks while lowering the maximum die temperature by an average of 3.7°C.","PeriodicalId":433816,"journal":{"name":"2014 51st ACM/EDAC/IEEE Design Automation Conference (DAC)","volume":"144 3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121843198","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}
