In this work, routing strategies of an arriving request to a server in a prioritized limited multi-server processor-sharing (PS) system are studied in order to optimize a given performance criterion. In this system, an arriving request enters the dispatcher, which routes this request to each server according to a predetermined strategy. In the prioritized limited PS server, a high-priority request...
Early design space exploration has been shown to be an important factor in reducing the development time for Network on Chips. In this paper, we present a Matlab toolbox aimed at the early-stage design space exploration for NoC router design, the router founding element of a NoC. The toolbox is based on the discrete event simulation engine SimEvents. The presented toolbox can be used to graphically...
Network-on-Chip (NoC) Router has an important impact on the network communication performance. High performance router will help to build a high-throughput, power-efficient and low-latency NoC. However, the existing baseline router of Triplet-based Hierarchical Interconnection Network (THIN) can not fully exert the potential performance of THIN because it does not consider the characteristic of THIN...
Geiselmann and Steinwandt proposed an ASIC based hardware design “YASD” for the sieving step in the number field sieve (NFS) method of integer factorization in 2004. The design is attractive since its regular structure seems suitable for implementation, however, performance valuation for 1024-bit integers has not been provided. This paper firstly evaluates the performance of YASD for 1024-bit integers...
Networks on chip (NoCs) communicate the components located inside a chip. Overall system performance depends on NoC performance, that is affected by several factors. One of them is the network clock frequency, imposed by the critical path delay. Recent works show that switch critical path includes buffer control logic. Consequently, by removing switch buffers, switch frequency can be doubled. In this...
Due to their reconfigurability and their high density of resources, SRAM-based FPGAs are more and more used in embedded systems. For some applications (Pay-TV,Banking, Telecommunication ...), a high level of security is needed. FPGAs are intrinsically sensitive to ionizing effects, such as light stimulation, and attackers can try to exploit faults injected in the downloaded configuration. Previous...
Cryptographic devices are recently implemented with different countermeasures against side channel attacks and fault analysis. Moreover, some usual testing techniques, such as scan chains, are not allowed or restricted for security requirements. In this paper, we analyze the impact that error detecting schemes have on the testability of an implementation of the advanced encryption standard, in particular...
Field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) are getting more and more attractive for military and aerospace applications, among others devices. The usage of non volatile FPGAs, like Flash-based ones, reduces permanent radiation effects but transient faults are still a concern. In this paper we propose a new methodology for effectively measuring the width of radiation-induced transient faults thus allowing...
This paper describes a design flow for the circuit-level optimization of a technology. The concurrent exploration of device characteristics and library design choices leads to a more application-optimal technology. We illustrate the design flow by: 1) analyzing the impact of buffer cell design, and 2) by optimizing a 130 nm technology for low operational power.
3D contactless technology based on capacitive coupling represents a promising solution for high-speed and low power signaling in vertically integrated chips. AC coupled interconnects do not suffer from mechanical stress, and the parasitic load is much reduced when compared to standard DC solutions, such as wire bonding and micro bumps. Communication system based on wireless interconnection scheme...
A new low-jitter polyphase-filter-based frequency multiplier incorporating a phase error calibration circuit to reduce the phase errors is presented. Designing with a multiplication ratio of eight, it has been fabricated in a 0.13-mum CMOS process. For input frequency of 25 MHz, the measured jitter is 2.46 ps (rms) and plusmn9.33 ps (pk-pk) at 200-MHz output frequency, while achievable maximum static...
According to international technology roadmap for semiconductors (ITRS), before the end of this decade, we will be entering the era of a billion transistors on a single chip. The major threat toward the achievement of billion transistor on a chip is poor scalability of current interconnect infrastructure. With the advent of "network on chip (NoC)" various characters and methodologies of...
