Modern network-on-chip (NoC) systems face reliability issues due to process and environmental variations. The power supply noise (PSN) in the power delivery network of a NoC plays a key role in determining reliability. PSN leads to voltage droop, which can cause timing errors in the NoC. This paper makes a novel contribution towards formally analyzing PSN in NoC systems. We present a probabilistic model checking approach to observe the PSN in a generic 2x2 mesh NoC with a uniform random traffic load. Key features of PSN are measured at the behavioral level. To tackle state explosion, we apply incremental abstraction techniques, including a novel probabilistic choice abstraction, based on observations of NoC behavior. The Modest Toolset is used for probabilistic modeling and verification. Results are obtained for several flit injection patterns to reveal their impacts on PSN. Our analysis finds an optimal flit pattern generation with zero probability of PSN events and suggests spreading flits rather than releasing them in consecutive cycles in order to minimize PSN.

Stimulation of target neuronal populations using optogenetic techniques during specific sleep stages has begun to elucidate the mechanisms and effects of sleep. To conduct closed-loop optogenetic sleep studies in untethered animals, we designed a ful
ly integrated, low-power system-on-chip (SoC) for real-time sleep stage classification and stage-specific optical stimulation. The SoC consists of a 4-channel analog front-end for recording polysomnography signals, a mixed-signal machine-learning (ML) core, and a 16-channel optical stimulation back-end. A novel ML algorithm and innovative circuit design techniques improved the online classification performance while minimizing power consumption. The SoC was designed and simulated in 180 nm CMOS technology. In an evaluation using an expert labeled sleep database with 20 subjects, the SoC achieves a high sensitivity of 0.806 and a specificity of 0.947 in discriminating 5 sleep stages. Overall power consumption in continuous operation is 97 uW.
The relationship between topology and network throughput of arbitrarily-connected mesh networks is studied. Taking into account nonlinear channel properties, it is shown that throughput decreases logarithmically with physical network size with minor dependence on network ellipticity.
This paper presents the design, implementation and evaluation of In-N-Out, a software-hardware solution for far-field wireless power transfer. In-N-Out can continuously charge a medical implant residing in deep tissues at near-optimal beamforming pow
er, even when the implant moves around inside the human body. To accomplish this, we exploit the unique energy ball pattern of distributed antenna array and devise a backscatter-assisted beamforming algorithm that can concentrate RF energy on a tiny spot surrounding the medical implant. Meanwhile, the power levels on other body parts stay in low level, reducing the risk of overheating. We prototype In-N-Out on 21 software-defined radios and a printed circuit board (PCB). Extensive experiments demonstrate that In-N-Out achieves 0.37~mW average charging power inside a 10~cm-thick pork belly, which is sufficient to wirelessly power a range of commercial medical devices. Our head-to-head comparison with the state-of-the-art approach shows that In-N-Out achieves 5.4$times$--18.1$times$ power gain when the implant is stationary, and 5.3$times$--7.4$times$ power gain when the implant is in motion.
Voice traffic prediction is significant for network deployment optimization thus to improve the network efficiency. The real entropy based theorectical bound and corresponding prediction models have demonstrated their success in mobility prediction.
In this paper, the real entropy based predictability analysis and prediction models are introduced into voice traffic prediction. For this adoption, the traffic quantification methods is proposed and discussed. Based on the real world voice traffic data, the prediction accuracy of N-order Markov models, diffusion based model and MF model are presented, among which, 25-order Markov models performs best and approach close to the maximum predictability. This work demonstrates that, the real entropy can also predict voice traffic well which broaden the understanding on the real entropy based prediction theory.
The resource constraints and accuracy requirements for Internet of Things (IoT) memory chips need three-dimensional (3D) monolithic integrated circuits, of which the increasing stack layers (currently more than 176) also cause excessive energy consum
ption and increasing wire length. In this paper, a novel 3D wireless network on chips (3DWiNoCs) model transmitting signal directly to the destination in arbitrary layer is proposed and characterized. However, due to the the reflection and refraction characteristics in each layer, the complex and diverse wireless paths in 3DWiNoC add great difficulty to the channel characterization. To facilitate the modeling in massive layer NoC situation, both boundary-less model boundary-constrained 3DWiNoC model are proposed, of which the channel gain can be obtained by a computational efficient approximate algorithm. These 3DWiNoC models with approximation algorithm can well characterize the 3DWiNoC channel in aspect of complete reflection and refraction characteristics, and avoid massive wired connections, high power consumption of cross-layer communication and high-complexity of 3DWiNoC channel characterization. Numerical results show that: 1) The difference rate between the two models is lower than 0.001% (signal transmit through 20 layers); 2) the channel gain decreases sharply if refract time increases; and 3) the approximate algorithm can achieve an acceptable accuracy (error rate lower than 0.1%).
