  • Cluster partitioning approaches to parallel Monte Carlo simulation on multiprocessors

    Creator:
    Ranawake, Udaya A.
    Abstract:
    We consider the parallelization of Monte Carlo algorithms for analyzing numerical models of charge transport used in semiconductor device physics. Parallel algorithms for the standard k-space Monte Carlo simulation of a three band model of bulk GaAs on hypercube multicomputers are first presented. This Monte Carlo model includes scattering due...

  • Measurement and characterization of ultra-wideband wireless interconnects within active computing systems

    Creator:
    Woracheewan, Sirikarn
    Abstract:
    Ultra-wideband (UWB) radio has become an attractive alternative for wireless communications due to the robustness to multipath fading, low power transmission, mostly-digital implementation, and low cost. Furthermore, short-range, high data-rates applications are possible with UWB radios due to the wide spectral allocations at 3.1 - 10.6 GHz. This thesis presents...

  • Energy-efficient, short-range ultra-wideband radio transceivers

    Creator:
    Hu, Changhui
    Abstract:
    Short-range wireless communications continually attract interest from both industry and academia, and it is changing our life in every aspect in the last decade. The design of wireless transceivers is the bottleneck for variety applications, due to RF modeling inaccuracy, stringent FCC regulations over the transmitted power spectrum, interference, multi-path...

  • Analysis and design on low-power multi-Gb/s serial links

    Creator:
    Hu, Kangmin
    Abstract:
    High speed serial links are critical components for addressing the growing demand for I/O bandwidth in next-generation computing applications, such as many-core systems, backplane and optical data communications. Due to continued process scaling and circuit innovations, today's CMOS serial link transceivers can achieve tens of Gb/s per pin. However, most...

  • Simulator for optimizing performance and power of embedded multicore processors

    Creator:
    Goska, Benjamin J.
    Abstract:
    This work presents improvements to a multi-core performance/power simulator. The improvements which include updated power models, voltage scaling aware models, and an application specific benchmark, are done to increase the accuracy of power models under voltage and frequency scaling. Improvements to the simulator enable more accurate design space exploration for...

  • Compressive Sensing for Low Power Sensor Design

    Creator:
    Behravan, Vahid
    Abstract:
    Recent sensor System-on-Chips (SoC) have enabled significant advances in energy-efficiency by incorporating various micro-powered building blocks. Unfortunately, most of these sensor systems do not address the high power cost associated with data storage and transmission, which in some cases vastly exceeds the power consumed by the rest of the SoC....

  • The Architecture of a Reusable Built-In Self-Test for Link Training, IO and Memory Defect Detection and Auto Repair on 14nm Intel SOC

    Creator:
    Querbach, Bruce
    Abstract:
    The complexity of designing and testing today's system on chip (SOC) is increasing due to greater integrated circuit (IC) density and higher IO and memory frequencies. SOCs for the mobile phone and tablet market have the unique challenge of short product development windows, at times less than six months, and...

  • The design and development of the wearable health and activity monitor

    Creator:
    Glover, Neil E.
    Abstract:
    This work describes the development of an accurate, low-cost, expandable and wearable health and activity monitoring platform. Wearable monitors used to track physical activity are becoming an increasingly popular and effective way to combat our dangerously sedentary lifestyles. Unfortunately most existing wearable solutions are either costly, inaccurate or cumbersome. The...

  • Techniques for improving timing accuracy of multi-gigahertz track/hold circuits

    Creator:
    Wang, Jingguang
    Abstract:
    Multi-Gigahertz sampling rate Analog-to-Digital Converters (ADC) with 5-8 bits resolution are used in many signal communication applications. Unfortunately, the performance of the high speed ADC is limited by the timing accuracy of the sampling clock. A small sampling uncertainty can cause a large error in the sampled voltage and result...
