We present an adaptive technique for compensating manufacturing and environmental
variability in subthreshold circuits using “canary flip-flop (FF),” which can predict timing …

An apparatus for monitoring timing of a plurality of critical paths of a functional circuit
includes a plurality of canary circuits, each configured to be coupled to a critical path of a …

This paper proposes a stochastic framework for error rate estimation that models adaptive
speed control as a continuous-time Markov process and derives its transition rates using …

Reducing design and operational margin is a key factor that makes fabricated chips
competitive in terms of speed and power consumption. On the other hand, a smaller margin …

This paper presents an adaptive technique for compensating manufacturing and
environmental variability in subthreshold circuits using ldquocanary Flip-Floprdquo that can …

Stereo and bi-ocular head-mounted displays (HMDs) require the user to fuse two images
into a coherent picture of the threedimensional world. The human visual system performs …

Post-fabrication tuning for mitigating manufacturing variability is receiving a significant
attention. To reduce leakage increase involved in performance compensation by body …

Multicore processor is one of the promising techniques to satisfy computing demands of the
future consumer devices. Dynamic voltage scaling (DVS) technique is a mature power …

The performance of a microelectronic circuit can be configured by making an operating
parameter assume an operating parameter value. An operating method comprises …

This paper discusses run-time adaptive performance control with on-chip sensors that
predict timing errors. The sensors embedded into functional circuits capture delay variations …
