Semiconductor scaling causes increasing and unavoidable within-die parametric variability. This paper describes accurate measurement techniques for characterising both systematic and stochastic delay variability in FPGAs. Results and analysis are presented from measurements made on a sample of 90nm devices, showing that delay per logic element varies stochastically by plusmn3.54% on average over the...
This paper is concerned with the application of formal optimisation methods to the design of mixed-granularity FPGAs. In particular, the authors investigate the appropriate mix and floorplan of heterogeneous elements: multipliers, RAMs, and LUT-based logic, in order to maximise the performance of a set of DSP benchmark applications, given a fixed silicon budget. The authors extend our previous mathematical...
The affective content of a video is defined as the expected amount and type of emotion that are contained in a video. Utilizing this affective content will extend the current scope of application possibilities. The dimensional approach to representing emotion can play an important role in the development of an affective video content analyzer. The three basic affect dimensions are defined as valence,...
This paper presents a novel bio-inspired spatiotemporal saliency framework. The framework incorporates spatial feature detection, feature tracking and motion prediction in order to generate a spatiotemporal saliency map. Experimental results demonstrate its ability and robustness to produce saliency responses to motion pop-up phenomena that are in line with humans responses. Moreover, the limited...
Embedded systems in field-programmable gate arrays can be customised and adaptive if assembled from modular components at run time. This paper describes techniques for modelling inter-module channel behaviour based on statistical time division multiplexing. Where modules communicate over shared media, the proposed techniques enable systematic development of on-chip communication infrastructure to...
Hereditary multiple exostoses (HME), a dominantly inherited genetic disorder characterized by multiple cartilaginous tumors, is caused by mutations in members of the EXT gene family, EXT1 or EXT2. The corresponding gene products, exostosin-1 (EXT1) and exostosin-2 (EXT2), are type II transmembrane glycoproteins which form a Golgi-localized heterooligomeric complex that catalyzes the polymerization...
