Source performance metrics for EUV mask inspection
By Technical Paper Link - 18 Apr, 2022 - Comments: 0

Abstract "Rules are derived to obtain specifications on radiance, power, lifetime, and cleanliness of the source for an actinic patterned mask inspection system. We focus on the physical processes and technological aspects governing the requirements of radiation sources for reticle inspection. We discuss differences and similarities to scanner with respect to magnification, system etendue, a... » read more

A Survey of Network-Based Hardware Accelerators
By Technical Paper Link - 18 Apr, 2022 - Comments: 0

Abstract "Many practical data-processing algorithms fail to execute efficiently on general-purpose CPUs (Central Processing Units) due to the sequential matter of their operations and memory bandwidth limitations. To achieve desired performance levels, reconfigurable (FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array)-based) hardware accelerators are frequently explored that permit the processing units’ a... » read more

Performance Implications for Multi-Core RISC-V Systems with Dedicated Security Hardware

Machine Learning for VLSI CAD: A Case Study in On-Chip Power Grid Design
By Technical Paper Link - 15 Apr, 2022 - Comments: 0

Abstract "With the improvement of VLSI technology, on-chip power grid design is becoming more challenging than before. In this design phase of VLSI CAD, power grids are generated in order to make power and ground connections to transistors or logic blocks. However, due to the scaling of supply voltage and increase in the number of transistors per unit area of the chip, power grid design has ... » read more

DarkGates: A Hybrid Power-Gating Architecture to Mitigate the Performance Impact of Dark-Silicon in High Performance Processors
By Technical Paper Link - 12 Apr, 2022 - Comments: 0

New research paper from ETH Zurich and others. Abstract "To reduce the leakage power of inactive (dark) silicon components, modern processor systems shut-off these components' power supply using low-leakage transistors, called power-gates. Unfortunately, power-gates increase the system's power-delivery impedance and voltage guardband, limiting the system's maximum attainable voltage (i.e., ... » read more
