Utilization of Path-Clustering in Efficient Stress-Control Gate Replacement for NBTI Mitigation

development and implementation of an optimized control strategy for induction machine in an electric vehicle

in the area of automotive engineering there is a tendency to more electrification of power train. in this work control of an induction machine for the application of electric vehicle is investigated. through the changing operating point of the machine, adapting the rotor magnetization current seems to be useful to increase the machines efficiency. in the literature there are many approaches wh...

A Multi-Level Approach to NBTI Mitigation in Processors

We are in the era of multicore processors and it is expected that the number of the processing cores on a chip will steadily increase over the next decade, driven by Moore’s Law. While technology scaling has benefitted high performance, the scaling has a dark side too: a degradation in the reliability of silicon devices. Processors have become highly susceptible to a variety of reliability prob...

NBTI-Aware Nanoscaled Circuit Delay Assessment and Mitigation

As semiconductor manufacturing entered into nanoscale era, performance degradation due to Negative Bias Temperature Instability (NBTI) became one of the major threats to circuits reliability. In this paper, we present a model and analysis of NBTI impact on circuit delays. First, we model NBTI impact on gate intrinsic delay and output transition delay. The insights of our models reveal that NBTI...

Efficient Utilization of Biomass for Bioenergy in Environmental Control

The continuous decline of petroleum and natural gas reserves and non linear rise of oil price has brought about a realisation of the need for a change in our perpetual dependence on the fossil fuel. A day to day increased consumption of crude and petroleum products has made a considerable impact on our foreign exchange reserves. Hence, an alternate resource for the conversion of energy (both li...
