The rise of dark silicon is driving a new class of architectural techniques that “spend” area to “buy” energy efficiency. In this talk we examine two new frameworks employed by computer architects to understand the challenges and opportunities that await us. The first is the utilization wall [3], a simple model that architects use to understand how technology scaling under post-Dennard assumptions...
Presents the introductory welcome message from the conference proceedings. May include the conference officer(s) offer(s) congratulations to all involved with the conference event and publication of the proceedings record.
Microelectronics is the dominant industrial technology of today. Its rate of innovation, spelled out by Moore's Law, is exceptional by any commercial metric, especially, as it has been on this trajectory for almost 40 years. It is not surprising, that other industrial sectors are taking advantage of the innovation engine of the semiconductors for its own product innovation: Cars are safer and more...
The unbelievable properties of our information processing capabilities regarding the processing of big data, resilience, and energy efficiency are inspiration sources for the optimization and the rethinking of the principles of electronic information processing. Here, we present an approach of integrated circuits intended to solve chemical problems by active processing of chemical information.
Organic semiconductors with conjugated electron system are currently intensively investigated for optoelectronic applications. This interest is spurred by novel devices such as organic light-emitting diodes (OLED), organic solar cells, and flexible electronics. In this talk, I will discuss some of the recent progress in realizing devices, in particular highly efficient white OLED for lighting and...
Virtual prototypes for automotive applications see a unique life cycle in the context of the supply chain from semiconductor to Tier1 to OEMs and within the eco-system. The presentation gives an overview of current experiences and finding in this field and challenges observed. The virtual platforms targeting the mid to high end application spaces of chassis, to powertrain and driver information systems...
The automotive industry is in a radical change process driven by technology. On the one hand side the proliferation of communication technologies into the car leads to internet connected vehicles. The vehicle will become an integral part of the internet — opening new processing paradigms for the car itself. On the other hand the vehicle itself significantly expands its sensor and processing capabilities...
Improving performance of computers at historical rates, as dictated by Moore's Law, is becoming increasingly more challenging especially because we are hitting the chip power-budget wall. But challenges usually direct us to focus on opportunities we have neglected in the past. I will focus on some of these overlooked opportunities in this talk. One such opportunity is to question what are meaningful...
Resilience at different design hierarchies will be needed in Complex SoCs to handle failures due to variability, reliability and design errors (logical or electrical). The main reasons for the marginal behavior are sheer design complexity, uncertainties in manufacturing processes, temporal variability and operating conditions. In this session, we will cover the basics of cross layer resiliency and...
Printed electronics has recently moved from a focus on the production of individual components towards the design and initial commercialization of integrated systems. This paper describes the current status and further trends of ferroelectric nonvolatile memories as developed and produced by Thin Film Electronics.
The recent advent of spin transfer torque (STT) has shed a new light on MRAM with the promises of much improved performances and greater scalability to very advanced technology nodes. As a result, MRAM is now viewed as a credible solution for stand-alone and embedded applications where the combination of non-volatility, speed and endurance is key. Whereas the technology is nearing maturity for DRAM...
European research projects produce many excellent results, and the quality of research papers at DATE and other major European conferences is often outstanding. But how many academic research results in computing technologies and EDA actually make it into industrial practice? In the context of the transition into the Horizon 2020 framework program, the European research community is currently investigating...
Application demands in our embedded world are growing dramatically. Consumer expectations and the industry's forward-looking technology roadmaps paint a picture of a connected world full of intelligent devices once thought to have fixed functionalities. Researchers exploring next generation wireless systems, Internet of Things (IOT), and even machine-to-machine (M2M) communications face many challenges...
