Hierarchical Memory Diagnosis

High-quality memory diagnosis methodologies are critical enablers for scaled memory devices as they reduce time to market and provide valuable information regarding test escapes and customer returns. This paper presents an efficient Hierarchical Memory Diagnosis (HMD) approach that accurately diagnoses faults in the entire memory. Faults are...

Skeleton-based Synthesis Flow for Computation-In-Memory Architectures

Memristor-based Computation-in-Memory (CIM) is one of the emerging architectures for next-generation Big Data problems. Its design requires a radically new synthesis flow as the memristor is a passive device that uses resistances to encode its logic values. This article proposes a synthesis flow for mapping parallel applications on memristor...

Parallel Matrix Multiplication on Memristor-Based Computation-in-Memory Architecture

One of the most important constraints of today’s architectures for data-intensive applications is the limited bandwidth due to the memory-processor communication bottleneck. This significantly impacts performance and energy. For instance, the energy consumption share of communication and memory<br/>access may exceed 80%. Recently, the concept of...

Skeleton-based design and simulation flow for Computation-in-Memory architectures

Memristor-based Computation-in-Memory is one of the emerging architectures proposed to deal with Big Data problems. The design of such architectures requires a radically new automatic design flow because the memristor is a passive device that uses resistance to encode its logic value. This paper proposes a design flow for mapping parallel...
