  • Architecture Optimizations for Memory Systems of Throughput Processors

    Creator:
    Gu, Yongbin
    Abstract:
    Throughput-oriented processors, such as graphics processing units (GPUs), have been increasingly used to accelerate general purpose computing, including machine learning models that are being utilized in numerous disciplines. Thousands of concurrently running threads in a GPU demand a highly efficient memory subsystem for data supply in GPUs. In this dissertation,...

  • Distributed arithmetic architecture for the discrete cosine transform

    Creator:
    Poplin, Dwight
    Abstract:
    The Discrete Cosine Transform is used in many image and video compression standards. Many methods have been developed for efficiently computing the Discrete Cosine Transform including flowgraph algorithms, distributed arithmetic and two-dimensional decompositions. A new architecture based on distributed arithmetic is presented for computing the Discrete Cosine Transform and it's...

  • A case for application-based linear transformers : applied towards text-to-spectrogram

    Creator:
    Agostinelli, Victor
    Abstract:
    Various natural language processing (NLP) tasks necessitate deep models that are fast, efficient, and small based on their ultimate application at the edge or elsewhere. While significant investigation has furthered the efficiency and reduced the size of these models, reducing their downstream latency without significant trade-offs remains a difficult task....

  • TIMR : Time Interleaved Multi Rail

    Creator:
    Ruggeri, Thomas L.
    Abstract:
    This work presents a new energy saving technique for modern digital designs. We propose Time Interleaved Multi-Rail (TIMR) - a method for providing two dynamic supply rails to a circuit. This technique uses the first supply rail to mask the transition delay while changing the voltage of the second rail....

  • Methods to improve the reliability and resiliency of near/sub-threshold digital circuits

    Creator:
    Crop, Joseph A.
    Abstract:
    Energy consumption is one of the primary bottlenecks to both large and small scale modern compute platforms. Reducing the operating voltage of digital circuits to voltages where the supply voltage is near or below the threshold of the transistors has recently gained attention as a method to reduce the energy...

  • Low-power dynamic CMOS circuits in high-performance memory arrays

    Creator:
    Patwary, Md. Ataur R.
    Abstract:
    Dynamic CMOS circuits are commonly used in high-performance memory arrays to implement wide-NOR logic functions for their read and search operations. This is because dynamic circuits have significantly higher speed and lower area compared to static circuits for performing similar operations. Register File (RF) arrays are located at the top...

  • Machine learning for computer architecture design and optimization

    Creator:
    Penney, Drew
    Abstract:
    Machine learning applied to computer architecture has rapidly transitioned from a theoretical novelty to being a driving force behind design, control, and simulation in practically all components. These machine-learning-based methodologies are further notable for their scalability to increasingly complex design challenges, which has allowed these methodologies to surpass the prior...

  • Sliding-mode control of the super maneuverable aircraft

    Creator:
    Koo, Chang Sul
    Abstract:
    In this thesis, A nonlinear methodology for the control of the highly maneuverable, high performance aircraft HARV (F-18) is studied by using sliding-mode control (SMC). This control law, which takes a continuous function when the input constraints are not considered, satisfies the reachability condition by which concerned states are driven...

  • Efficient Spectrum Sensing and Sharing Techniques for Dynamic Wideband Spectrum Access

    Creator:
    Khalfi, Bassem
    Abstract:
    Besides enabling an enhanced mobile broadband access, fifth-generation (5G) wireless mobile networks are envisioned to support the connectivity of massive, heterogeneous Internet of Things (IoT) devices. Connecting these devices through 5G systems and providing them with their needed data rates require huge amounts of spectrum and power resources, thus calling...

  • Non-enzymatic electrochemical sensors based on functionalized nanomaterials

    Creator:
    Wu, Bo
    Abstract:
    Unlike other biosensing, electrochemical biosensor has the advantages of robustness, easy miniaturization, excellent detection limits, and capability in handling small analyte volumes. The detection selectivity of the electrochemical biosensors is mainly supported by bioreceptors. However, these receptors always suffer from the performance variation caused by the environment and the thermal-...
