We observed that the applications following SPMD (Single Program and Multiple Data) programming model tend to spark domain-wide voltage resonance because multiple threads sharing the same function body exhibit similar power activity. When threads are judiciously relocated among the cores, the voltage droops can be greatly reduced. We propose “Orchestrator”, a sensor-free non-intrusive scheme for multi-core architectures to smooth the voltage droops. Orchestrator focuses on the inter-core voltage interactions, and maximally leverages the thread diversity to avoid voltage droops synergy among cores. Experimental results show that Orchestrator can reduce up to 64% voltage emergencies on average, meanwhile improving performance.","PeriodicalId":6310,"journal":{"name":"2013 Design, Automation & Test in Europe Conference & Exhibition (DATE)","volume":"24 1","pages":"208-213"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86653379","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 propose a runtime verification algorithm to verify design properties of nonlinear analog circuits.

The proposed runtime verification methodology consists of i) incremental construction of the TRRT to explore the state-time space and ii) use of an incremental online monitoring algorithm to check whether or not the incremented TRRT satisfies or violates specification properties at each iteration. In comparison to the Monte Carlo simulations, for providing the same state-space coverage, we utilize a logarithmic order of memory and time.","PeriodicalId":6310,"journal":{"name":"2013 Design, Automation & Test in Europe Conference & Exhibition (DATE)","volume":"25 1","pages":"21-26"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83457029","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}

Superlattice-based thermoelectric cooling (TEC) is a promising technology that offers large heat pumping capability and the ability to target hot spots of each core independently. In this paper, we devise novel system-level methods that address the two main sources of dark silicon using superlattice TECs. Our methods leverage the TECs in conjunction with dynamic voltage and frequency scaling and number of threads to maximize the performance of multi-core processor under thermal and power constraints. Using an experimental setup based on a quad-core processor, we provide an evaluation of the trade-offs among performance, temperature and power consumption arising from the use of superlattice-based TECs. Our results demonstrate the potential of this emerging cooling technology in mitigating dark silicon problems and in improving the performance of multi-core processors.","PeriodicalId":6310,"journal":{"name":"2013 Design, Automation & Test in Europe Conference & Exhibition (DATE)","volume":"55 7 1","pages":"1391-1394"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83610981","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 approach uses Taylor Expansion Diagrams (TEDs), a functional graph-based design representation, as a vehicle to optimize the dataflow graph (DFG) used as input to the subsequent synthesis. The optimization focuses on critical path compaction in the functional representation before translating it into a structural DFG representation. Our approach engages several passes of a traditional high-level synthesis (HLS) process in a simulated annealing-based loop to make efficient cost tradeoffs. The algorithm is time efficient and can be used for fast design space exploration. The results indicate a latency performance improvement of 22% on average versus HLS with the initial DFG for a series of designs mapped to Altera Stratix II devices.","PeriodicalId":6310,"journal":{"name":"2013 Design, Automation & Test in Europe Conference & Exhibition (DATE)","volume":"73 1","pages":"1553-1558"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76499443","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}

Retiming is a structural operation that relocates registers in a circuit without changing its functionality. In this paper, the effect of retiming on soft error rate (SER) of a sequential circuit is investigated considering both logic masking and timing masking. A minimum observability retiming problem under error-latching window constraints is formulated to reduce the SER of the circuit. And an efficient algorithm is proposed to solve the problem optimally. Experimental results show on average a 32.7% reduction on SER from the original circuits and a 15% improvement over the existing method.","PeriodicalId":6310,"journal":{"name":"2013 Design, Automation & Test in Europe Conference & Exhibition (DATE)","volume":"82 1","pages":"1008-1013"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83922909","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}

An important limitation of SystemC regarding performance is that the reference implementation is sequential, and the official semantics makes parallel executions difficult. As the number of cores in computers increase quickly, the ability to take advantage of the host parallelism during a simulation is becoming a major concern. Most existing work on parallelization of SystemC targets cycle-accurate simulation, and would be inefficient on loosely timed systems since they cannot run in parallel processes that do not execute simultaneously. We propose an approach that explicitly targets loosely timed systems, and offers the user a set of primitives to express tasks with duration, as opposed to the notion of time in SystemC which allows only instantaneous computations and time elapses without computation. Our tool exploits this notion of duration to run the simulation in parallel. It runs on top of any (unmodified) SystemC implementation, which lets legacy SystemC code continue running as-it-is. This allows the user to focus on the performance-critical parts of the program that need to be parallelized.","PeriodicalId":6310,"journal":{"name":"2013 Design, Automation & Test in Europe Conference & Exhibition (DATE)","volume":"62 1","pages":"9-14"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88392837","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}

Degradation of parameters can be even worse if the system is operated at extreme supply voltages and temperature conditions. In this work we study the behavior of synchronizers in a broad range of supply voltage and temperature corners. A digital on-chip measurement system is presented that helps to characterize synchronizers in future technologies and a new calibrating system is shown that accounts for changes in delay values due to supply voltage and temperature changes. We present a detailed comparison of measurements and simulations for a fabricated 65nm bulk CMOS circuit and discuss implications of the measurements for synchronization systems in 65nm and beyond.

As modern vehicles incorporate more complex computational systems, ensuring the safety of critical systems becomes paramount. One-to-one redundant units have been previously proposed as measures for evolving critical functions like x-by-wire. However, these may not be viable solutions for power-constrained systems like next generation electric vehicles. Reconfigurable architectures offer alternative approaches to implementing reliable safety critical systems using more efficient hardware. In this paper, we present an approach for implementing redundancy in safety-critical in-car systems, that uses FPGA partial reconfiguration and a customised bus controller to offer fast recovery from faults.
