      The heavily-threaded data processing demands of streaming multiprocessors (SM) in a GPGPU require a large register file (RF). The fast increasing size of the RF makes the area cost and power consumption unaffordable for ...
    • Circuit propagation delay estimation through multivariate regression-based modeling under spatio-temporal variability 

      Ganapathy, Shrikanth; Canal Corretger, Ramon; González Colás, Antonio María; Rubio Sola, Jose Antonio (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2010)

      With every process generation, the problem of variability in physical parameters and environmental conditions poses a great challenge to the design of fast and reliable circuits. Propagation delays which decide circuit ...
    • Dynamic fine-grain body biasing of caches with latency and leakage 3T1D-based monitors 

      Ganapathy, Shrikanth; Canal Corretger, Ramon; González Colás, Antonio María; Rubio Sola, Jose Antonio (2011-04-15)
      Report de recerca
      Accés obert
      In this paper, we propose a dynamically tunable fine-grain body biasing mechanism to reduce active & standby leakage power in caches under process variations.
    • Effectiveness of hybrid recovery techniques on parametric failures

      Memory circuits are playing a key role in complex multicore systems with both data and instructions storage and mailbox communication functions. There is a general concern that conventional SRAM cell based on the 6T structure ...
    • INFORMER: an integrated framework for early-stage memory robustness analysis 

      Ganapathy, Shrikanth; Canal Corretger, Ramon; Alexandrescu, Dan; Costenaro, Eric; González Colás, Antonio María; Rubio Sola, Jose Antonio (European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance (EDAA), 2014)
      Text en actes de congrés
      Accés restringit per política de l'editorial
      With the growing importance of parametric (process and environmental) variations in advanced technologies, it has become a serious challenge to design reliable, fast and low-power embedded memories. Adopting a variation-aware ...
    • iRMW: A low-cost technique to reduce NBTI-dependent parametric failures in L1 data caches 

      Ganapathy, Shrikanth; Canal Corretger, Ramon; González Colás, Antonio María; Rubio Sola, Jose Antonio (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2014)
      Text en actes de congrés
      Accés obert
      Negative bias temperature instability (NBTI) is a major cause of concern for chip designers because of its inherent ability to drastically reduce silicon reliability over the lifetime of the processor. Coupled with statistical ...
    • MODEST: a model for energy estimation under spatio-temporal variability
