Stochastic computing, which is based on probability, involves a trade-off between accuracy and power and is a promising solution for energy-efficiency in error-tolerance designs. In this paper, adder and multiplier circuits based on the proposed stochastic computing architecture are studied and analyzed. First, we propose an efficient yet simple stochastic computation technique for multipliers and adders by exchanging the wires used for their operation. The results demonstrate that the proposed design reduces the relative error in computation compared with the conventional designs and has smaller area compared to conventional designs. Then, a new energy-efficient and high-performance stochastic adder with acceptable error metrics is investigated. The proposed multiplier shows better error metrics than other existing stochastic multipliers, and significantly improves area utilization and power consumption compared to the exact binary multiplier. Finally, we apply the proposed stochastic architecture to an edge detection algorithm and achieve a significant reduction in area utilization (64%) and power consumption (96%). It is therefore demonstrated that the proposed stochastic architecture is suitable for energy-efficient hardware designs.

A network-on-chip (NoC) offers high performance, flexibility and scalability in communication infrastructure within multi-core platforms. However, NoCs contribute significantly to the overall system’s power consumption. The double-layer energy efficient synchronous-asynchronous circuit-switched NoC (CS-NoC) is proposed to enhance the power utilization. To reduce the dynamic power consumption, single-rail asynchronous protocols are utilized. The two-phase and four-phase encoding algorithms are analyzed to determine the most efficient technique. For the data layer, the two asynchronous protocols reduced the power consumption by 80%, with an increase in latency when compared with the fully synchronous protocol. However, the two-phase single-rail protocol had better performance compared with the four-phase protocol by 38%, with the same power consumption and a slight increase in area of 5%. Based on this conducted analysis, the asynchronous two-phase layer had significant power reduction yet operated at a moderate frequency. Therefore, the proposed NoC is divided into two data transfer layers with a single control layer. The data transfer layers are designed using synchronous and asynchronous protocols. The synchronous layer is designated to high-frequency loads, and the asynchronous layer is confined to low-frequency loads. The switching between the layers creates a trade-off between the maximum allowed frequency and the power consumption. The proposed NoC reduces the overall power consumption by 23% when compared with recent previous work. The NoC maintains the same system performance with an 8% area increase over the fully synchronous double-layer in the literature.

In the last years, embedded systems have evolved so that they offer capabilities we could only find before in high performance systems. Portable devices already have multiprocessors on-chip (such as PowerPC 476FP or ARM Cortex A9 MP), usually multi-threaded, and a powerful multi-level cache memory hierarchy on-chip. As most of these systems are battery-powered, the power consumption becomes a critical issue. Achieving high performance and low power consumption is a high complexity challenge where some proposals have been already made. Suarez et al. proposed a new cache hierarchy on-chip, the LP-NUCA (Low Power NUCA), which is able to reduce the access latency taking advantage of NUCA (Non-Uniform Cache Architectures) properties. The key points are decoupling the functionality, and utilizing three specialized networks on-chip. This structure has been proved to be efficient for data hierarchies, achieving a good performance and reducing the energy consumption. On the other hand, instruction caches have different requirements and characteristics than data caches, contradicting the low-power embedded systems requirements, especially in SMT (simultaneous multi-threading) environments. We want to study the benefits of utilizing small tiled caches for the instruction hierarchy, so we propose a new design, ID-LP-NUCAs. Thus, we need to re-evaluate completely our previous design in terms of structure design, interconnection networks (including topologies, flow control and routing), content management (with special interest in hardware/software content allocation policies), and structure sharing. In CMP environments (chip multiprocessors) with parallel workloads, coherence plays an important role, and must be taken into consideration.

Background & Objective: In this paper, a modified pseudo domino configuration has been proposed to improve the leakage power consumption and Power Delay Product (PDP) of dynamic logic using Carbon Nanotube MOSFETs (CN-MOSFETs). The simulations for proposed and published domino circuits are verified by using Synopsys HSPICE simulator with 32nm CN-MOSFET technology which is provided by Stanford. Methods: The simulation results of the proposed technique are validated for improvement of wide fan-in domino OR gate as a benchmark circuit at 500 MHz clock frequency. Results: The proposed configuration is suitable for cascading of the high performance wide fan-in circuits without any charge sharing. Conclusion: The performance analysis of 8-input OR gate demonstrate that the proposed circuit provides lower static and dynamic power consumption up to 62 and 40% respectively, and PDP improvement is 60% as compared to standard domino circuit.

AbstractUltracompact and low-power-consumption optical switches are desired for high-performance telecommunication networks and data centers. Here, we demonstrate an on-chip power-efficient 2 × 2 thermo-optic switch unit by using a suspended photonic crystal nanobeam structure. A submilliwatt switching power of 0.15 mW is obtained with a tuning efficiency of 7.71 nm/mW in a compact footprint of 60 μm × 16 μm. The bandwidth of the switch is properly designed for a four-level pulse amplitude modulation signal with a 124 Gb/s raw data rate. To the best of our knowledge, the proposed switch is the most power-efficient resonator-based thermo-optic switch unit with the highest tuning efficiency and data ever reported.
