Challenges and Opportunities for Test and Reliability*

Conference paper (2021) - Alberto Bosio, Ian O'Connor, Arnaud Virazel, Koen Bertels, Marcello Traiola, Jorge Echavarria, Jürgen Teich, Muhammad Abdullah Hanif, Muhammad Shafique, Said Hamdioui, Bastien Deveautour, Patrick Girard
The paper addresses some of the opportunities and challenges related to test and reliability of three major emerging computing paradigms; i.e., Quantum Computing, Computing engines based on Deep Neural Networks for AI, and Approximate Computing (AxC). We present a quantum accelerator showing that it can be done even without the presence of very good qubits. Then, we present Dependability for Artificial Intelligence (AI) oriented Hardware. Indeed, AI applications shown relevant resilience properties to faults, meaning that the testing strongly depends on the application behavior rather than on the hardware structure. We will cover AI hardware design issues due to manufacturing defects, aging faults, and soft errors. Finally, We present the use of AxC to reduce the cost of hardening a digital circuit without impacting its reliability. In other words how to go beyond usual modular redundancy scheme. ...

Technology, design automation and computing frontiers

Conference paper (2017) - Mario Barbareschi, Alberto Bosio, Hoang Anh Du Nguyen, Said Hamdioui, Marcello Traiola, E.I. Vatajelu
The memristor is an emerging technology which is triggering intense interdisciplinary activity. It has the potential of providing many benefits, such as energy efficiency, density, reconfigurability, nonvolatile memory, novel computational structures and approaches, massive parallelism, etc. These characteristics may lead to deeply revise existing computing and storage paradigms. This paper presents a comprehensive overview of memristor technology and its potential to design a new computational paradigm. ...
