On BTI Aging Rejuvenation in Memory Address Decoders

Memory designs require timing margins to compensate for aging and fabrication process variations. With technology downscaling, aging mechanisms became more apparent, and larger margins are considered necessary. This, in return, means a larger area requirement and lower performance for the memory. Bias Temperature Instability (BTI) is one of the...

Software-Based Mitigation for Memory Address Decoder Aging

Integrated circuits typically contain design margins to compensate for aging. As aging impact increases with technology scaling, bigger margins are necessary to achieve the desired reliability. However, these increased margins lead to a reduced performance and lower yield. Alternatively, mitigation schemes can be deployed to reduce the aging....

Hardware-based aging mitigation scheme for memory address decoder

Designers typically add design margins to memories to compensate for their aging. As the aging impact increases with technology scaling, bigger margins become necessary. However, this negatively impacts area, yield, performance, and power consumption. Alternatively, mitigation schemes can be used to reduce the impact of aging. This paper...

Pattern classification approaches to matching building polygons at multiple scales

Matching of building polygons with different levels of detail is crucial in the maintenance and quality assessment of multi-representation databases. Two general problems need to be addressed in the matching process: (1) Which criteria are suitable? (2) How to effectively combine different criteria to make decisions? This paper mainly focuses on...

Applying DLM and DCM concepts in a multi-scale data environment

Formalization and data enrichment for automated evaluation of building pattern preservation

Automated evaluation of generalization output relies to a large extent on that requirements (e.g. specifications, constraints) being formalized in machine-readable formats. Previous studies suggest that the formalization and automated evaluation are relatively easier for legibility constraints (improve the readability of maps) than for...

Kartografie: Visualisatie van ruimtelijke gegevens

Dit boek wil de nodige bagage bieden voor het zelf vervaardigen van kaarten met de computer. Omdat de technishe mogelijkheden daarbij steeds verder worden uitgebreid biedt dit boek ook een intoductie tot kartografische aspecten van multimedia, Internet en animatie, en een behandeling van elektronische atlassen. Men moet zich daarbij realiseren...

Het Zwin, successen en lessen: Bresgroeiexperimenten op 6 en 7 oktober 1994

Op 6 en 7 oktober 1994 hebben twee grootschalige damdoorbraakexperimenten plaatsgevonden in Het Zwin in Zee uwsch-Vlaanderen. Vooral het eerste experiment op 6 oktober heeft veel publicitaire aandacht getrokkcn. Op het beslissende ogenblik, het begin van de proef rondom het tijdstip van hoogwater, verliep deze proef niet volgens verwachting. Het...
