A reduced interface and high performance embedded system architecture (MSBUS) is proposed in this paper. The control bus is low-cost and low-power, whereas the data bus is high-bandwidth and high-speed especially. In addition, a Universal Verification Methodology (UVM)-based performance evaluation methodology is proposed to estimate the hardware structures. In order to evaluate the bus performance, AHB, AXI and MSBUS DMA are implemented as a case study. The experimental results show that MSBUS DMA uses the least hardware resources, reduces energy consumption to a half of AHB and AXI in the block transfer mode, and achieves 3.3 times and 1.6 times valid bandwidth of AHB and AXI respectively. Moreover, the proposed evaluation methodology is effectively used with sufficient accuracy.

Recent experimental studies reveal that FinFET devices commercialized in recent years tend to suffer from moresevere NBTI degradation compared to planar transistors, necessitating effective techniques on processors built with FinFET for endurable operations. We propose to address this problem by exploiting the device heterogeneity and leveraging the slower NBTI aging rate manifested on the planar devices. We focus on modern graphics processing units in this study due to their wide usage in the current community. We validate the effectiveness of the technique byapplying it to the warp scheduler and demonstrate NBTIdegradation is considerably alleviated with slight performance overhead.
最近的实验研究表明,与平面晶体管相比,近年来商业化的FinFET器件往往会遭受更严重的NBTI退化,因此需要在使用FinFET构建的处理器上采用有效的技术来持久运行。我们建议通过利用器件的异构性和利用在平面器件上表现出的较慢的NBTI老化率来解决这个问题。由于现代图形处理单元在当今社会的广泛使用,我们在本研究中重点关注现代图形处理单元。我们通过将其应用于warp调度器来验证该技术的有效性,并证明nbti退化在轻微的性能开销下得到了显着缓解。

FinFET device has been proposed as a promising substitute for the traditional bulk CMOS-based device at the nanoscale, due to its extraordinary properties such as improved channel controllability, high ON/OFF current ratio, reduced short-channel effects, and relative immunity to gate line-edge roughness. In addition, the near-ideal subthreshold behavior indicates the potential application of FinFET circuits in the near-threshold supply voltage regime, which consumes an order of magnitude less energy than the regular strong-inversion circuits operating in the super-threshold supply voltage regime. This paper presents a design flow of creating standard cells by using the FinFET 5nm technology node, including both near-threshold and super-threshold operations, and building a Liberty-format standard cell library. The circuit synthesis results of various combinational and sequential circuits based on the 5nm FinFET standard cell library show up to 40X circuit speed improvement and three orders of magnitude energy reduction compared to those of 45nm bulk CMOS technology.
FinFET器件由于其非凡的特性,如改进的沟道可控性、高的ON/OFF电流比、减少的短沟道效应以及相对抗栅极线边缘粗糙度,已被提出作为传统cmos器件在纳米尺度上的有前途的替代品。此外,近理想的亚阈值特性表明了FinFET电路在近阈值供电电压下的潜在应用,它比在超阈值供电电压下工作的常规强反转电路消耗的能量少一个数量级。本文介绍了使用FinFET 5nm技术节点创建标准单元的设计流程,包括近阈值和超阈值操作,并构建了liberty格式标准单元库。基于5nm FinFET标准单元库的各种组合和顺序电路的电路合成结果显示,与45nm块体CMOS技术相比,电路速度提高了40倍,能量降低了3个数量级。

Exploration of Magnetic RAM Based Memory Hierarchy for Multicore Architecture 基于磁性RAM的多核存储器层次结构研究
Pub Date : 2014-07-09 DOI: 10.1109/ISVLSI.2014.29

Today's memory systems mainly integrate SRAM, DRAM and FLASH technologies. SRAM and DRAM are generally used for cache and working memory, while FLASH memory is used for non-volatile storage at low speed. But all are facing to manufacturing constraints in the most advanced node, which compromises further evolution. Besides, with the increasing size of the memory system, a significant portion of the total system power is spent into memories. Magnetic RAM (MRAM) technology is a very attractive alternative offering simultaneously reasonable performance and power consumption efficiency, high density and non-volatility. While MRAM is always under severe investigation to improve manufacturing process, the state of the art shows that this memory technology can be accessed in less than 5ns with a read/write dynamic energy not so far to SRAM dynamic energy. Besides, non-volatility of MRAM can be used for optimizing leakage current thanks to instant on/off policies. This paper demonstrates how current characteristics of MRAM can be used into memory hierarchy of multiprocessor chips (CMPs). The goal is to highlight the interest to use MRAM for cache memory in order to keep overall application performance saving static power.
当今的存储系统主要集成了SRAM、DRAM和FLASH技术。SRAM和DRAM一般用于高速缓存和工作存储器,而FLASH存储器用于低速非易失性存储。但所有这些都面临着最先进节点的制造限制,这影响了进一步的发展。此外,随着存储系统的尺寸不断增大,系统总功率的很大一部分都花在了内存上。磁性RAM (MRAM)技术是一个非常有吸引力的替代方案,同时提供合理的性能和功耗效率,高密度和非易失性。虽然MRAM一直受到严格的研究,以改善制造工艺,但目前的技术表明,这种存储技术可以在不到5ns的时间内读取/写入动态能量,而不是SRAM动态能量。此外,MRAM的非挥发性可用于优化泄漏电流,这得益于即时开/关策略。本文阐述了如何将MRAM的电流特性应用到多处理器芯片(cmp)的存储器层次中。我们的目标是强调使用MRAM作为缓存的兴趣,以便保持整体应用程序性能节省静态功耗。

A Broadcast-Enabled Sensing System for Embedded Multi-core Processors 嵌入式多核处理器的广播传感系统
Pub Date : 2014-07-09 DOI: 10.1109/ISVLSI.2014.18
Jia Zhao, Shiting Lu, W. Burleson, R. Tessier
Contemporary multi-core architectures deployed inembedded systems are expected to function near the operational limits of temperature, voltage, and device wear-out. To date, most on-chip sensing systems have been designed to collect and use sensor information for these parameters locally. In this paper, a new sensing system to enhance multi-core dependability which supports both the local and global distribution of sensing data in embedded processors is considered. The benefit of the new sensing architecture is verified using the broadcast of microarchitectural parameter signatures which can be used toidentify impending voltage droops. Low-latency broadcasts are supported for a range of sensor data transfer rates. Up to a 9% performance improvement for a 16-core system is determined via the use of the distributed voltage droop sensor information (5.4% on average). The entire sensing system, including broadcasting resources, requires about 2.6% of multi-core area.

Although path-delay faults (PDF) have been studied extensively during the last three decades, design of combinational circuits to achieve low-overhead robust PDF testability, still poses many challenges. In this paper, we revisit the problem of synthesizing a robust path-delay fault testable combinational circuit based on certain new functional properties. Given the boolean cubes of a function, we first design a two-level robust PDF testable circuit by properly grouping the cubes using a few additional control lines. Next, we apply some testability-preserving algebraic factorization techniques to design multi-level circuits. The method readily extends to multi-output circuits as well. Experimental results establish that the proposed functional approach yields fully robust PDF-testable circuits with much lower overhead as compared to earlier approaches.

A Graph-Based 3D IC Partitioning Technique 一种基于图形的三维集成电路划分技术
Pub Date : 2014-07-09 DOI: 10.1109/ISVLSI.2014.82
Sabyasachee Banerjee, S. Majumder, B. Bhattacharya
Netlist partitioning is an important part of the physical design of 3D IC chips. Each subcircuit corresponding to a partition is subsequently assigned to a suitable device layer in the design phase. This paper proposes a netlist partitioning technique that intends to minimize the number of inter-layer interconnections while maintaining the area constraints. This, in turn, will minimize the area and cost associated with the Through-Silicon Vias (TSVs) needed in the design. The proposed method starts with an BFS-based initial solution and then improves iteratively using a heuristic. Experimental results demonstrate that by reassigning some modules to other layers, our algorithm could achieve up to 45% reduction in the number of TSVs on several benchmark circuits compared to earlier approaches. The resulting increase in floor area due to movement of modules a cross layers, is almost compensated by the decrease in TSV-area. Thus while satisfying the area-constraints, it allows us to reduce the number of TSVs as well as the IR-drop and delay associated with the vias.
网表分区是三维集成电路芯片物理设计的重要组成部分。随后在设计阶段将与分区相对应的每个子电路分配给合适的器件层。本文提出一种网表划分技术,在保持区域约束的前提下,尽量减少层间互连的数量。反过来,这将最大限度地减少与设计中所需的硅通孔(tsv)相关的面积和成本。该方法从基于bfs的初始解开始,然后使用启发式迭代改进。实验结果表明,通过将一些模块重新分配到其他层,与之前的方法相比,我们的算法可以在几个基准电路上减少多达45%的tsv数量。由于模块跨层移动而导致的建筑面积增加,几乎被tsv面积的减少所补偿。因此,在满足面积限制的同时,它允许我们减少tsv的数量以及与过孔相关的ir下降和延迟。

This paper presents a modified folded cascode error amplifier of low dropout (LDO) regulator and a slew-rate enhancement circuit to minimize compensation capacitance and improve transient response. The proposed error amplifier eliminates the tradeoffs between small and large slew-rate that is imposed by the tail-current in conventional error amplifier design. The design is implemented in a standard UMC 0.18 ìm standard CMOS process. Simulation results show that, the LDO regulator consumes a quiescent current of 49.64μA only with a total power consumption of .079mW. It regulates the output voltage at 1.4v from 1.6-1.8v supply. The overshoot/undershoot in the output voltage under the extreme load transients are 220.7mV/280.26mV for load current range of 0 to 100mA. The line regulation is 1.244mV/V at 1.8V, load regulation is 40.6mV/A. This circuit finds its beneficial behavior for chip-level power management units requiring high-area efficiency as compensation capacitors are avoided.
本文提出了一种改进的低压差(LDO)稳压器的折叠级联误差放大器和一种慢速增强电路,以减小补偿电容并改善瞬态响应。该误差放大器消除了传统误差放大器设计中尾电流所带来的大、小回转率的权衡。该设计采用标准UMC 0.18 ìm标准CMOS工艺实现。仿真结果表明,LDO稳压器的静态电流仅为49.64 μ a,总功耗为0.079 mw。它调节输出电压在1.4v从1.6-1.8v电源。负载电流范围为0 ~ 100mA,极端负载瞬态下输出电压超调/欠调为220.7mV/280.26mV。1.8V时线路稳压为1.244mV/V,负载稳压为40.6mV/A。由于避免了补偿电容,该电路对需要高面积效率的芯片级电源管理单元具有良好的性能。

Towards Secure Analog Designs: A Secure Sense Amplifier Using Memristors 迈向安全模拟设计:使用忆阻器的安全感测放大器
Pub Date : 2014-07-09 DOI: 10.1109/ISVLSI.2014.50

In this work, we propose a key-based locking/unlocking mechanism for sense amplifiers, an integral part of many analog systems. We leverage process variations to make the circuit functional only when the correct key is entered. An incorrect key will result in a circuit breakdown, making it inaccessible to an attacker. To enable this secure functionality, we leverage emerging technology devices, specifically memristors. The proposed secure sense amplifier can be used in important analog applications such as memories and sensors. We develop properties to ensure the security of the sense amplifier. These properties are validated by simulations results at the 22 nm CMOS technology node and assuming HP memristor properties.
在这项工作中,我们提出了一种基于密钥的感测放大器锁定/解锁机制,这是许多模拟系统的组成部分。我们利用过程变化使电路只有在输入正确的键时才起作用。错误的密钥将导致电路故障,使攻击者无法访问。为了实现这种安全功能,我们利用了新兴技术设备,特别是忆阻器。所提出的安全感测放大器可用于存储器和传感器等重要的模拟应用。为了保证传感放大器的安全性,我们开发了一些特性。这些特性在22nm CMOS技术节点和假设HP忆阻器特性的仿真结果中得到验证。

To enable this secure functionality, we leverage emerging technology devices, specifically memristors. The proposed secure sense amplifier can be used in important analog applications such as memories and sensors. We develop properties to ensure the security of the sense amplifier.

Long test application time for a System on Chip (SoC) is a major problem in digital design testing. This problem mostly originates from large test data. High volume test data not only increases required ATE memory and bandwidth, but also increases test time. Test compression reduces test data volume without any impact on its coverage. This work proposes two novel efficient test data compression schemes. These schemes suggest a slice partitioning along with a multiple dictionaries bitmask approach, and also a slice bit reordering method. These approaches are combined with low power method to decrease power consumption without sacrificing compression efficiency. Experimental results show improvements in compression efficiency and power consumption when compared with the existing works.
片上系统(SoC)测试应用时间过长是数字设计测试中的一个主要问题。这个问题主要来源于大量的测试数据。大容量的测试数据不仅增加了所需的ATE内存和带宽,而且增加了测试时间。测试压缩减少了测试数据量,但对其覆盖范围没有任何影响。本文提出了两种新的高效测试数据压缩方案。这些方案建议采用切片分区和多字典位掩码方法,以及切片位重排序方法。这些方法与低功耗方法相结合,在不牺牲压缩效率的情况下降低功耗。实验结果表明,与现有算法相比,压缩效率和功耗均有显著提高。
