A design method for functional safety.
In this paper a method for dynamic fault injection and fault simulation as well as its application to MEMS based sensor systems is described. The prerequisite for this approach is the availability of accurate, but numerically efficient models for the MEMS element. Simulations based on SystemC and SystemC AMS are suitable to analyze the nominal behavior of complex sys- tems including electronics and the mechanical behavior of the MEMS elements. They offer capabilities to represent analog and digital hardware, as well as software and nonelectrical components in one simulation environment. Especially for the modeling of mechanical structures, dedicated modeling algorithms like model order reduction have to be applied to ensure high numerical efficiency.

The more compute power, the better. But what’s the best way to get there?
Yield rises with mask protection; multiple sources will likely reduce costs.
More heterogeneous designs and packaging options add challenges across the supply chain, from design to manufacturing and into the field.
CNTs promise big performance improvements, but achieving consistency and replacing incumbent technologies will be difficult.
Computational storage approaches push power and latency tradeoffs.
The backbone of computing architecture for 75 years is being supplanted by more efficient, less general compute architectures.
How long a chip is supposed to function raises questions design teams need to think about, including how much they trust aging models.
Servers today feature one or two x86 chips, or maybe an Arm processor. In 5 or 10 years they will feature many more.
Tradeoffs in AI/ML designs can affect everything from aging to reliability, but not always in predictable ways.
Predicting the power or energy required to run an AI/ML algorithm is a complex task that requires accurate power models, none of which exist today.
New technology could have an impact on NVM, in-memory processing, and neuromorphic computing.
But one size does not fit all, and fine-tuning is required.
Advanced nodes and packaging are turning minor issues into major ones.
