New Embedded Memory Architecture for Enhanced Yield, Performance and Power Consumption
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new Cross-Shared Redundancy (CSR) architecture of embedded memory for yield improvement is proposed. The model of CSR takes into account cluster errors, which are common for deep-submicron technologies. The redundancy scheme is optimized in consideration of low-power and fast operation. A yield model of cross-shared redundancy for the embedded memory is presented.

Embedded Memory Test Strategies and Repair
The demand of self-testing proportionally increases with memory size in System on Chip (SoC). SoC architecture normally occupies the majority of its area by memories. Due to increase in density of embedded memories, there is a need of self-testing mechanism in SoC design. Therefore, this research study focuses on this problem and introduces a smooth solution for self-testing. In the proposed m...
متن کاملA Media-Enhanced Vector Architecture for Embedded Memory Systems
Next generation portable devices will require processors with both low energy consumption and high performance for media functions. At the same time, modern CMOS technology creates the need for highly scalable VLSI architectures. Conventional processor architectures fail to meet these requirements. This paper presents the architecture of Vector IRAM (VIRAM), a processor that combines vector pro...
متن کاملMemory power optimization of Java-based embedded systems exploiting garbage collection information
Nowadays, Java is used in all types of embedded devices. For these memory-constrained systems, the automatic dynamic memory manager (Garbage Collector or GC) has been always a key factor in terms of the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) performance. Moreover, in current embedded platforms, power consumption is becoming as important as performance. Thus, in this paper we present an exploration, from an...
متن کاملUltra-Low-Energy DSP Processor Design for Many-Core Parallel Applications
Background and Objectives: Digital signal processors are widely used in energy constrained applications in which battery lifetime is a critical concern. Accordingly, designing ultra-low-energy processors is a major concern. In this work and in the first step, we propose a sub-threshold DSP processor. Methods: As our baseline architecture, we use a modified version of an existing ultra-low-power...
متن کاملPower exploration of multimedia applications realized on embedded cores
Low power realization of video applications on embedded cores is described. Code transformations are applied to reduce the data memory power consumption. The transformed code indicates a power efficient data memory architecture while transformations move the main part of memory accesses from larger memories (possibly off-chip) to smaller ones (on-chip). The effect of transformations on performa...
