The standard design technology co-optimization (DTCO) involves frequent interactions between circuit design and process manufacturing, which requires several months. To assist designers in establishing a bridge between device parameters and circuit metrics efficiently, and provide guidance for parameter optimization in the early stages of circuit design. In this paper, we propose an efficient machine learning (ML)-enhanced DTCO framework. This framework achieves the co-optimization of device parameters and circuit metrics. We select the gate metal work function (WF) as the parameter to validate the effectiveness of our framework. And the ridge regression approach is used to bypass TCAD simulation, compact model extraction and cell library characterization. We reduces time consumption by at least 92% compared to traditional DTCO framework, while ensuring that errors of delay, internal power consumption and leakage power below 4 ps, 0.035 mJ, and 0.4 μW, respectively. By adjusting the WF, we achieved a better balance between circuit delay and power consumption. This work contributes to designers exploring a broader design space and achieving a efficient DTCO flow.

Enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB) and ultra-reliable low-latency communication (URLLC) are two critical services in 5G mobile networks. While there has been extensive research on their coexistence, few studies have considered the impact of bursty URLLC on their coexistence performance. In this paper, we propose a method to allocate computing and radio resources for coexisting eMBB and bursty URLLC services by preempting both computing queues in the base station (BS) and time-frequency resources at the air interface. Specifically, we first divide the computing resources at the BS into a shared part for both URLLC and eMBB users and an exclusive part only for eMBB users, and propose a queuing mechanism with preemptive-resume priority for accessing the shared computing resources. Furthermore, we propose a preemptive puncturing method and a threshold-based queuing mechanism in the air interface to enable the multiplexing of eMBB and URLLC on shared time-frequency resources. We analytically derive the average queuing delay, average computation delay, and average transmission delay of eMBB and URLLC packets. Based on this analysis, we formulate a mixed-integer nonlinear programming problem to minimize the average delay of URLLC packets while satisfying the average delay and throughput requirements of eMBB by jointly optimizing the eMBB subcarrier allocation, the URLLC subcarrier scheduling and the computing resource allocation. We decompose this problem into three sub-problems and solve them alternately using a block coordinate descent algorithm. Numerical results show that our proposed method reduces the outage probability and average delay of URLLC compared to the existing works.

Multimodal emotion recognition technology leverages the power of deep learning to address advanced visual and emotional tasks. While generic deep networks can handle simple emotion recognition tasks, their generalization capability in complex and noisy environments, such as multi-scene outdoor settings, remains limited. To overcome these challenges, this paper proposes a novel multimodal emotion recognition framework. First, we develop a robust network architecture based on the T5-small model, designed for dynamic-static fusion in complex scenarios, effectively mitigating the impact of noise. Second, we introduce a dynamic-static cross fusion network (D-SCFN) to enhance the integration and extraction of dynamic and static information, embedding it seamlessly within the T5 framework. Finally, we design and evaluate three distinct multi-task analysis frameworks to explore dependencies among tasks. The experimental results demonstrate that our model significantly outperforms other existing models, showcasing exceptional stability and remarkable adaptability to complex and dynamic scenarios.
