This paper presents a task priority scaling algorithm for dynamic thermal management of multi-core processors. The unique features of this algorithm include: 1) enabling task-level Dynamic Frequency Scaling (DFS) capability through software, 2) reducing task migration and provide load balancing using dynamic task priority scaling, 3) targeting DTM for systems with high workload. This algorithm is evaluated on a commercial quad-core processor. The experimental results indicate that the proposed approach can decrease the average and peak temperature by 9.73% and 7.1%, respectively, compared to Linux standard scheduler.

The minimum voltage of operation (Vmin) for memory arrays often limits the lowest system operating voltage. This paper introduces a novel read assist topology for a domino-based evaluation architecture in a read only memory (ROM). The implementation incorporates an assist pull-down (PD) device, which activates during the evaluation phase in order to increase the effective pull-down strength of the bit cells. This implementation maintains Vmin without increasing the size of pull down devices inside the bit cells. The assist topology improves read delay by 11-30% and increases noise margin. Area overhead can be limited to 27% in a typical ROM.

Gate sizing is one of the most important techniques for circuit optimization. Over the years, Elmore delay model (EDM) has been the predominant timing model used in gate sizing due to its simplicity. However, EDM is no longer effective in meeting the increasing demand of timing accuracy. In this paper, we propose a new gate delay model, which characterizes the timing information of lookup tables and creates a model which is mathematically similar to EDM, and can be easily incorporated into well-known EDM based gate sizing techniques using Lagrangian Relaxation (LR) with minor modifications. Experimental data show that it can produce even better results than those directly based on lookup tables, while keeping the benefit of the simplicity of EDM.

Stochastic computing (SC) employs conventional logic circuits to implement analog-style arithmetic functions acting on digital bit-streams. It exploits the advantages of analog computation -powerful basic operations, high operating speed, and error tolerance- in important applications such as sensory image processing and neuromorphic systems. At the same time, SC exhibits the analog drawbacks of low precision and complex underlying behavior. Although studied since the 1960s, many of SC"s fundamental properties are not well known or well understood. This paper presents, in a uniform manner and notation, what is known about the relations between the logical and stochastic behavior of stochastic circuits. It also considers how correlation among input bit-streams and the presence of memory elements influences stochastic behavior. Some related research challenges posed by SC are also discussed.

Unsupervised learning with sparse coding is widely adopted in applications of feature extraction, pattern classification, and compressive sensing. However, even with the state-of-the-art hardware platform of CPUs/GPUs, solving a sparse coding problem is still expensive in computation. In this paper, the resistive cross-point array architecture (CPA) is proposed to achieve on-chip acceleration of sparse coding, especially the matrix/vector operations that are intensively used in the algorithm. Learning and recognition experiments are conducted with the MNIST handwriting dataset. By co-optimizing the algorithm, architecture, circuit, and resistive synaptic devices, SPICE simulation at 65nm demonstrates that the CPA is able to accelerate sparse coding computation by more than 3800X, compared to software running on an 8-core CPU. Furthermore, this work investigates the technological limitations of a realistic resistive CPA, including reduced ON/OFF range of synaptic devices, nonlinearity in programming, spatial and temporal variations, and interconnect parasitics. The results illustrate both enormous opportunities and practical barriers of resistive CPA in real-time learning on a chip.

This paper proposes several approximate divider designs; two different levels of approximation (cell and array levels) are investigated for non-restoring division. Three approximate subtractor cells are proposed and designed for the basic subtraction; these cells mitigate accuracy in subtraction with other metrics, such as circuit complexity and power dissipation. At array level, by considering the exact cells, both replacement and truncation schemes are introduced for approximate array divider design. A comprehensive evaluation of approximation at both cell and divider level is pursued. Different circuit metrics including complexity and power dissipation are evaluated by HSPICE simulation. Mean error distance (MED), normalized error distance (NED) and MED-power product (MPP) are provided to substantiate the accuracy and power trade-off of inexact computing. Different applications in image processing are investigated by utilizing the proposed approximate arithmetic circuits.

In this work, we developed a methodology to analyze a bacteria model that mimics the stages through which bacteria change when phage therapy is applied. Due to the widespread misuse and overuse of antibiotics, drug resistant bacteria now pose significant risks to health, agriculture and the environment. Therefore, we were interested in an alternative to conventional antibiotics, a phage therapy. Our model was designed according to an experimental procedure to engineer a temperate phage, Lambda (λ), and then kill bacteria via light-activated production of superoxide. We applied formal analysis to our model and the results show that such an approach can speed up evaluation of the system, which would be impractical or possibly not even feasible to study in a wet lab.

Memory design has radically changed in the last few years; the emergence of new technologies has further improved performance and the traditional separation of storage levels between Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) and Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) is not viable as in the past. Recently, the embedded DRAM (eDRAM) has been proposed for cache utilization to improve density while attempting to retain high performance operations; this scheme is often referred as hybrid due to the utilization of different technologies in a memory. In this paper, a hybrid scheme is proposed by adding non-volatile features and related circuits to the SRAM/eDRAM; an Oxide Resistive Random Access Memory (RRAM) is utilized as non-volatile storage in the embedded memory circuit. Different memory cells are proposed in this manuscript; they are evaluated with respect to circuit-level figures of merit as related to operational features (read, write, static noise margin, power delay product) as well as tolerance to event upsets (critical charge) and variations. Extensive simulation results using nanometric PTMs are provided. It is shown that the proposed designs offer substantial improvements over previous hybrid cells as well as a conventional NAND Flash memory cell.
