In this paper, we present two new blocking universal constructions. The first one, called CC-BSim, is very efficient in systems that support coherent caches (CC), while the second one, called DSM-BSim, is more efficient in cache-less NUMA machines (where processors do not have caches). CC-BSim performs at most O(h + t) remote memory references (RMR), where h is an upper bound on the number of o...

FinFET and UTBSOI (or ETSOI) FET are the two promising multi-gate FET candidates for sub-22nm CMOS technology. The BSIM-CMG and BSIM-IMG are the surface potential based physical compact models for multi-gate MOSFETs. The BSIM-CMG model has been developed to model common symmetric double, triple, quadruple and surround gate MOSFET. The BSIM-IMG model has been developed to model independent doubl...

Large-scale collective behaviors such as synchronization and coordination spontaneously arise in many bacterial populations. With systems biology attempting to understand these phenomena, and synthetic biology opening up the possibility of engineering them for our own benefit, there is growing interest in how bacterial populations are best modeled. Here we introduce BSim, a highly flexible agen...

Compact Models for Future Generation CMOS by Darsen Duane Lu Doctor of Philosophy in Engineering — Electrical Engineeing and Computer Sciences University of California, Berkeley Professor Chenming Hu, Chair Multiple-gate MOSFETs with superior short channel control are expected to replace planar CMOS in the near future. An accurate and computationally efficient compact transistor model is necess...

Schistosoma mansoni antigens in the early life alter homologous and heterologous immunity during postnatal infections. We evaluate the immunity to parasite antigens and ovalbumin (OA) in adult mice born/suckled by schistosomotic mothers. Newborns were divided into: born (BIM), suckled (SIM) or born/suckled (BSIM) in schistosomotic mothers, and animals from noninfected mothers (control). When ad...

Agent-based models (ABMs) provide a number of advantages relative to traditional continuum modeling approaches, permitting incorporation of great detail and realism into simulations, allowing in silico tracking of single-cell behaviors and correlation of these with emergent effects at the macroscopic level. In this study we present BSim 2.0, a radically new version of BSim, a computational ABM ...

State-of-the-art architectural simulators support cycle accurate pipeline execution of application programs. However, it takes days and weeks to complete the simulation of even a moderatesize program. During the execution of a program, program behavior does not change randomly but changes over time in a predictable/periodic manner. This behavior provides the opportunity to limit the use of a pi...

The recent progress of BSIM (Berkeley Short-channel IGFET Model) SPICE models extended for SOI transistors are reviewed. The models cover partially depleted (PD), fully depleted (FD) and dynamic depletion (FD) (automatically transition between PD and FD). The key concept of dynamic depletion will be discussed.
