To understand the effects of geomorphology and environment on the C character of soil organic carbon (SOC) in a hilly karst area, 26 soil samples were collected in 2008 in Nanchuan, Chongqing, SW China. The results showed that the δC-SOC values were between -18.66‰~-27.41‰, with the mean value of -23.3‰. The data firmly indicated that the modern soil organic carbon was the mixture of C3 and C4 ...

The demand of self-testing proportionally increases with memory size in System on Chip (SoC). SoC architecture normally occupies the majority of its area by memories. Due to increase in density of embedded memories, there is a need of self-testing mechanism in SoC design. Therefore, this research study focuses on this problem and introduces a smooth solution for self-testing.  In the proposed m...

The advent of system-on-a-chip (SoC) technology is a result of ever increasing transistor density. Unfortunately, this means that verification will pose the greatest problem to design because difficulties in verification scale faster than transistor technology. This paper provides evidence of this effect by citing industry trends, as well as discusses the potential pitfalls in SoC verification....

As machine learning becomes ubiquitous, the need to deploy models on real-time, embedded systems will become increasingly critical. This is especially true for deep solutions, whose large pose interesting challenges target architectures at “edge” that are resource-constrained. The realization of learning, and being driven by availability specialized hardware, such as system-on-chip which provid...

In the deep submicron era, the downscaling of silicon technology and the possibility of building multiprocessor System-on-Chip (MPSoCs) makes intrachip communication, a key challenge in the gigascale chip designing process. Performance and power of gigascale System-on-Chip(SoC) is mainly communication dominated. SoC communication architectures start facing scalability as well as modularity limi...

Recent advances in IC design methodologies and manufacturing technologies have led to the integration of a complete system onto a single IC, called system on chip (SoC). Such a core based SoCs pose major challenges in the manufacturing test and design validation and debug domain. IP centric validation and testing in a system-on-chip (SoC) which is also referred as modular testing methodology, i...

In the system-on-chip (SoC) debugging and performance analysis/optimization, monitoring the on-chip bus signals are necessary. But, such signals are difficult to observe since they are deeply embedded in a SoC and no sufficient I/O pins to access those signals. Therefore, we embed a bus tracer in SoC to capture the bus signals and store them.The stored trace memory can be loaded to the trace an...
