High-performance flexible nanoscale transistors based on transition metal dichalcogenides
By Technical Paper Link - 24 Aug, 2021 - Comments: 0

Read the paper here. Published June 17, 2021, Nature Electronics. Abstract Two-dimensional (2D) semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides could be used to build high-performance flexible electronics. However, flexible field-effect transistors (FETs) based on such materials are typically fabricated with channel lengths on the micrometre scale, not benefitting from the short-channel advan... » read more

A Compact Model For Scalable MTJ Simulation
By Technical Paper Link - 24 Aug, 2021 - Comments: 0

Read the full technical paper. Published June 9, 2021. Abstract This paper presents a physics-based modeling framework for the analysis and transient simulation of circuits containing Spin-Transfer Torque (STT) Magnetic Tunnel Junction (MTJ) devices. The framework provides the tools to analyze the stochastic behavior of MTJs and to generate Verilog-A compact models for their simulation in lar... » read more

2D materials–based homogeneous transistor-memory architecture for neuromorphic hardware
By Technical Paper Link - 21 Aug, 2021 - Comments: 0

Abstract "In neuromorphic hardware, peripheral circuits and memories based on heterogeneous devices are generally physically separated. Thus exploring homogeneous devices for these components is an important issue for improving module integration and resistance matching. Inspired by ferroelectric proximity effect on two-dimensional materials, we present a tungsten diselenide-on-LiNbO3 cascaded... » read more

FORMS: Fine-grained Polarized ReRAM-based In-situ Computation for Mixed-signal DNN Accelerator
By Technical Paper Link - 19 Aug, 2021 - Comments: 0

Abstract: "Recent work demonstrated the promise of using resistive random access memory (ReRAM) as an emerging technology to perform inherently parallel analog domain in-situ matrix-vector multiplication—the intensive and key computation in deep neural networks (DNNs). One key problem is the weights that are signed values. However, in a ReRAM crossbar, weights are stored as conductance of... » read more

Vector Runahead
By Technical Paper Link - 19 Aug, 2021 - Comments: 0

Abstract: "The memory wall places a significant limit on performance for many modern workloads. These applications feature complex chains of dependent, indirect memory accesses, which cannot be picked up by even the most advanced microarchitectural prefetchers. The result is that current out-of-order superscalar processors spend the majority of their time stalled. While it is possible to bui... » read more

Hardware Architecture and Software Stack for PIM Based on Commercial DRAM Technology
By Technical Paper Link - 19 Aug, 2021 - Comments: 0

Abstract: "Emerging applications such as deep neural network demand high off-chip memory bandwidth. However, under stringent physical constraints of chip packages and system boards, it becomes very expensive to further increase the bandwidth of off-chip memory. Besides, transferring data across the memory hierarchy constitutes a large fraction of total energy consumption of systems, and the ... » read more

Leaky Buddies: Cross-Component Covert Channels on Integrated CPU-GPU Systems

IChannels: Exploiting Current Management Mechanisms to Create Covert Channels in Modern Processors
By Technical Paper Link - 11 Aug, 2021 - Comments: 0

Find technical paper link here. Abstract: "To operate efficiently across a wide range of workloads with varying power requirements, a modern processor applies different current management mechanisms, which briefly throttle instruction execution while they adjust voltage and frequency to accommodate for power-hungry instructions (PHIs) in the instruction stream. Doing so 1) reduces the pow... » read more

A RISC-V in-network accelerator for flexible high-performance low-power packet processing
By Technical Paper Link - 11 Aug, 2021 - Comments: 0

Find the technical paper link here. Abstract "The capacity of offloading data and control tasks to the network is becoming increasingly important, especially if we consider the faster growth of network speed when compared to CPU frequencies. In-network compute alleviates the host CPU load by running tasks directly in the network, enabling additional computation/communication overlap and pot... » read more
