A High-Level Tool Framework for Exploring and Designing NoC Architectures for 3D Ics

This high-level tool framework supports the exploration of alternative NoC architectures targeting to 3D ICs, in terms of numerous design parameters (i.e. energy dissipation, latency, QoS, etc) under multiple topologies. Also, it automates the generation of RTL description for the optimized 3D NoC topology.

MECS, DesParO - Hierarchical Simulation and Robust Design Aspects

Within a Fraunhofer research project we are developing a hierarchical simulation strategy and accompanying software modules with special emphasis on easy transfer between design levels, investigation of the influence of parameter changes over several levels, and general robust design aspects.

Reducing Circuit Soft Error Rate (SER): From Combinational to Sequential Circuits

Soft errors, which have been a great concern in memories, are now a main factor in reliability degradation of logic circuits. The framework to be demonstrated aims at reducing the circuit susceptibility to soft errors, quantified as soft error rate (SER). Three methods, which target different parts of logic circuits, are developed for SER reduction of both combinational and sequential circuits.

SEP - Software Encoded Processing – Enable Software to Detect Execution Errors

Software Encoded Processing transforms software from an unsafe original to a safe version. The functionality of both versions is equivalent. But while the unsafe original version is vulnerable to execution errors such as transient and permanent hardware errors, the safe version is not.
