Abstract:
|
Nanoscale circuits are subject to a wide range of new limiting phenomena making essential to investigate new design strategies at the circuit and architecture level to improve its performance and reliability. Proactive reconfiguration is an emerging technique oriented to extend the system lifetime of memories affected by aging. In this brief, we present a new approach for static random access memory (SRAM) design that extends the cache lifetime when considering process variation and aging in the memory cells using an adaptive strategy. To track the aging in the SRAM cells we propose an on-chip monitoring technique. Our results show the technique as a feasible way to extend the cache lifetime up to 5X. |
