Modeling And Architectural Simulations Of The Statistical Static Timing Analysis Of The Variation Sources For Vlsi Circuits, Abu M. Baker

College of Engineering: Graduate Celebration Programs

As CMOS technology scales down, process variation introduces significant uncertainty in power and performance to VLSI circuits and significantly affects their reliability. Although Static-Timing Analysis (STA) remains an excellent tool, current trends in process scaling have imposed significant difficulties to STA. As one of the promising solutions, Statistical static timing analysis (SSTA) has become the frontier research topic in recent years in combating such variation effects. This poster will be focusing on two aspects of SSTA and its applications in VLSI designs: (1) Statistical timing modeling and analysis; and (2) Architectural implementations of the atomic operations (max and add) using …

INTRODUCTION

Manual Counters:

•The vehicles counts and characteristics at signalized intersections and others transportation facilities are usually made using manual counters. These manual counters are mechanical or digital boards in which the user can record the different observations from the field. The use of these devices is usually required when more sophisticated methods are not available, when expensive equipment is not justified and for scholastic practices.

A Consumer Level Simulation Model For Demand Response Analysis On Smart Grid, Sungchul Lee, Yoohwan Kim

College of Engineering: Graduate Celebration Programs

With the growing awareness of the need for Smart Grid, various countries are taking initiatives for developing Smart Grid.

However, there is limited research on utilizing Smart Grid for Demand-Response (DR).

This study advances the current system of DR by creating a Smart Grid Simulator that allows an intuitive demand response analysis.

The simulator demonstrates that substantial amount of electric power can be reduced efficiently by selective demand control over Smart Grid.

The graphical interface allows generating the electrical usage data and displays both individual and aggregate usage data over time.

This research employs U.S. census data for accurate estimate …

Decimal Alu, Ming Zhu

College of Engineering: Graduate Celebration Programs

The decimal number system is used in many commercial applications, such as financial analysis, banking, tax calculation, currency conversion, insurance and accounting. With the explosively increasing amount the data to be proposed, computers are introduced to help deal with it. However, in digital Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) circuit systems, the binary number system is widely used for its simplicity and easy realization in physical layout. This project aims at constructing an ALU that contains decimal additions, subtractions and multiplications using binary coded decimal (BCD) on a binary system platform.

Cognitive Congestion Control For Data Portal, Ershad Sharifahmadian, Shahram Latifi

College of Engineering: Graduate Celebration Programs

Network congestion is one of challenging tasks in communication networks and leads to queuing delay, packet loss or the blocking of new connections. Here, a data portal is considered as an application-based network, and a cognitive method is proposed to deal with congestion in this kind of network. The cognitive method is proposed to improve bandwidth sharing, and deal with congestion in a data portal. When the data portal is about climate change data, congestion control is more emphasized, because the scientific climate data is voluminous and there is a high traffic to/from data portal by the scientific community, research …
