Priority encoders are typically considered expensive hardware components in terms of complexity, especially at high bit precisions or input lengths (e.g., above 512 bits). However, if the complexity can be reduced, priority encoders can…
We describe in this paper new design techniques used in the \cpp exact linear algebra library \linbox, intended to make the library safer and easier to use, while keeping it generic and efficient. First, we review the new simplified…
A front-end readout electronics system has been developed for silicon strip detectors. The system uses an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) ATHED to realize multi-channel E&T measurement. The slow control of ASIC chips is…
Polar codes are a class of capacity-achieving error correcting codes that have been selected for use in enhanced mobile broadband in the 3GPP 5th generation (5G) wireless standard. Most polar code research examines the original Arikan polar…
Semidefinite programs (SDPs) and their solvers are powerful tools with many applications in machine learning and data science. Designing scalable SDP solvers is challenging because by standard the positive semidefinite decision variable is…
The difficulty of deploying various deep learning (DL) models on diverse DL hardware has boosted the research and development of DL compilers in the community. Several DL compilers have been proposed from both industry and academia such as…
Approximate circuits have been developed to provide good tradeoffs between power consumption and quality of service in error resilient applications such as hardware accelerators of deep neural networks (DNN). In order to accelerate the…
High-performance micro-kernels must fully exploit today's diverse and specialized hardware to deliver peak performance to DNNs. While higher-level optimizations for DNNs are offered by numerous compilers (e.g., MLIR, TVM, OpenXLA),…
Modern software design practice implies widespread use in the development of ready-made components, usually designed as external libraries. The undoubted advantages of reusing third-party code can be offset by integration errors that appear…
We propose a sparse Grassmannian design for precoding codebooks. Due to their sparse structure, our proposed codebooks achieve low peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR), low complexity of precoder multiplication, and low storage cost, while…

Developing a group of machine cells and their corresponding part families to minimize the inter-cell and intra-cell material flow is the basic objective of the designing of a cellular manufacturing system (CMS). Afterwards achieving a…
Understanding and optimizing the properties of solar cells is becoming a key issue in the search for alternatives to nuclear and fossil energy sources. A theoretical analysis via numerical simulations involves solving Maxwell's Equations in…
Applications with safety requirements have become ubiquitous nowadays and can be found in edge devices of all kinds. However, microcontrollers in those devices, despite offering moderate performance by implementing multicores and cache…
Previous efforts on reconfigurable analog circuits mostly focused on specialized analog circuits, produced through careful co-design, or on highly reconfigurable, but relatively resource inefficient, accelerators that implement analog…
Sparsity, which occurs in both scientific applications and Deep Learning (DL) models, has been a key target of optimization within recent ASIC accelerators due to the potential memory and compute savings. These applications use data stored…
Modulation constellation design is a core challenge in digital communications, especially under stringent demands on spectral efficiency, robustness, and energy consumption. Classical schemes like PSK and QAM, while analytically tractable,…
Pattern matching design verification has gained noticeable attention in semiconductor technologies as it can precisely identify more localized problematic areas (weakpoints) in the layout. To address these weakpoints, engineers adopt…
Efficiency in embedded systems is paramount to achieve high performance while consuming less area and power. Processors in embedded systems have to be designed carefully to achieve such design constraints. Application Specific Instruction…
The paper deals with the task of optimal design of Analog to Digital Converters (ADCs). A general ADC is modeled as a causal discrete-time dynamical system with outputs taking values in a finite set, and its performance is defined as the…
