Abstract
With increasing demand for low-power and portable systems, energy efficient design solutions are sought at all levels of the design abstraction. In this talk I will explore adaptation and resiliency in digital circuits, both logic and memory, and their suitability in reducing the voltage and frequency guardbands. Different design solutions for process and environment sensing, error monitoring and correcting on a research microprocessor will be presented. I will address various aspects of calibration-less sensor design and how they can be coupled to adaptive voltage and clock controllers to provide energy optimal compute and memory solutions.
