Outline of Final Research Achievements |
With technology scaling, process, voltage, and temperature (PVT) variations and soft errors pose great challenges on integrated circuit designs. In this project, we conduct researches on in-situ error prediction for dependable low energy LSI designs, which is achieved by introducing the concept of prediction into LSI designs as a solution to the reliability problems of state-of-the-art integrated circuits. At first, a predication-based timing monitoring method called suspicious timing error prediction (STEP) was proposed for variation-resilient LSI designs. And then low power soft error tolerant latch designs have been developed to deal with the soft error problem. Finally, an in-situ prediction-based AVS method was proposed for energy minimization, which has been implemented and verified on a real large processor design.
