IEEE EDS Distinguished Lecture: Low Power Design and Predictive Failure Analytics in Silicon in nm Era
IEEE EDS Toronto is proud to invite you to a Distinguished Lecture by Dr. Rajiv V. Joshi of the T. J. Watson Research Center, IBM.
Join us Monday, Nov 21 at 6:00PM in BA 2155 on the University of Toronto main campus. Food and refreshments will be served.
Abstract
Power has become the key driving force in processor as well AI specific accelerator designs as the frequency scale-up is reaching saturation. In order to achieve low power system, circuit and technology co-design is essential. This talk focuses on related technology and important circuit techniques for nanoscale VLSI circuits. Achieving low power and high performance simultaneously is always difficult. Technology has seen major shifts from bulk to SOI and then to non-planar devices such as FinFET and Trigates.
This talk consists of pros and cons analysis on technology from power perspective and various techniques to exploit lower power. As the technology pushes towards sub-7nm era, process variability and geometric variation in devices can cause variation in power. The reliability also plays an important role in the power-performance envelope. This talk also reviews the methodology to capture such effects and describes all the power components. All the key areas of low power optimization such as reduction in active power, leakage power, short circuit power and collision power are covered. Usage of clock gating, power gating, longer channel, multi-Vt design, stacking, header-footer device techniques and other methods are described for logic and memory used for processors and AI. Finally the talk summarizes key challenges in achieving low power.
In addition the tutorial gives a brief overview of predictive failure analytics used in nm Technology. Process and environmental variations impact circuit behavior it is important to model their effects to build robust circuits. The tutorial describe how key statistical techniques can be effectively used to analyze and build robust circuits.
