Abstract:
|
Process variations and device aging have a significant
impact on the reliability and performance of nano scale
integrated circuits. Proactive reconfiguration is an emerging
technique to extend the lifetime of embedded SRAM memories.
This work introduces a novel version that modifies and enhances
the advantages of this method by considering the process
variability impact on the memory components. Our results show
between 30% and 45% SRAM lifetime increases over the
existing proactive reconfiguration technique and between 1.7X
and ~10X improvement over the non-proactive reconfiguration. |
