Asynchronous Stream Computing for Low Power IoT – Asynchronous Stochastic Computing (ASC), Asynchronous Stream Processing (ASP) and Asynchronous Impulse Radio (AIR) for ubiquitous sensing at the Edge - Prof. Mircea Stan, University of Virginia,USA
2021-05-04 16:00 - 17:30 (Asia/Jerusalem) | Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/285151
Asynchronous circuits have many potential advantages over their synchronous counterparts in terms of robustness to parameter variations, wide supply voltage ranges, and potentially low power by not needing a clock, yet their promise has not been translated yet into commercial success due to several issues related to design methodologies and the need for handshake signals. Stochastic computing is another processing paradigm that has shown promises of low power and extremely compact circuits but has yet to become a commercial success mainly because of the need for a fast clock to generate the random streams.
In this talk we will go over three complementary circuit techniques: Asynchronous Stochastic Computing (ASC), Asynchronous Stream Processing (ASP) and Asynchronous Impulse Radio (AIR). These techniques combine the best features of asynchronous circuits with the best features of stochastic computing to enable extremely compact and low power IoT sensing nodes. Together they can fulfill the promise of smart dust, a concept that was ahead of its time and yet to achieve commercial success.
Mircea R. Stan is the Virginia Microelectronics Consortium (VMEC) professor at the University of Virginia. He is teaching and doing research in the areas of high-performance low-power VLSI, Processing in Memory, temperature-aware circuits and architecture, Cyber-Physical Systems, spintronics, and nanoelectronics. He leads the High-Performance Low-Power (HPLP) lab and is an associate director of the Center for Automata Processing (CAP). He received the 2018 Influential ISCA Paper Award, the NSF CAREER award in 1997 and was a co-author on best paper awards at ASILOMAR19, LASCAS19, SELSE17, ISQED08, GLSVLSI06, ISCA03 and SHAMAN02 and IEEE Micro Top Picks in 2008 and 2003. Prof. Stan is a fellow of the IEEE, a member of ACM, and of Eta Kappa Nu, Phi Kappa Phi and Sigma Xi.

Closed-Loop Neuromodulation - Prof. Dejan Marković, University of California, Los Angeles, USA
2021-04-21 19:00 - 21:30 (Asia/Jerusalem) | Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/297830
Facing a growing number of patients with neurological disorders, there are only limited therapeutic pharmacological measures which provide only temporary and mild amelioration of the devastating symptoms of these disorders. The use of electrical stimulation of the brain is a treatment option for patients with severe treatment-resistant disorders. Current deep-brain stimulation (DBS) approaches are hindered by inadequate technology that is low-precision and bulky, power-inefficient, and of limited diagnostic utility. The seminar will discuss a high-precision implantable neurotechnology for closed-loop neuromodulation of functional networks of the human brain. Key features of the technology are: 1) sensing from a high number of channels, 2) sensing concurrent with stimulation for true closed-loop operation, and 3) real-time secure wireless data telemetry. The proposed neurotechnology could revolutionize brain therapies in efficacy, size and cost of medical implants.
Dejan Marković is a Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). He is also affiliated with UCLA Bioengineering Department, Neuroengineering field. He completed the Ph.D. degree in 2006 at the University of California, Berkeley, for which he was awarded 2007 David J. Sakrison Memorial Prize. His current research is focused on implantable neuromodulation systems, domain-specific compute architectures, and design methodologies. Dr. Marković co-founded Flex Logix Technologies, a semiconductor IP startup, in 2014, and helped build foundational technology of Ceribell, a medical device startup. He received an NSF CAREER Award in 2009. In 2010, he was a co-recipient of ISSCC Jack Raper Award for Outstanding Technology Directions. He also received 2014 ISSCC Lewis Winner Award for Outstanding Paper. Prof. Markovic is an IEEE Fellow.

TAU Seminar: Developments and application of luminescent carbon nanotube for super-resolution imaging in the NIR
2021-03-03 13:00 - 14:00 (Asia/Jerusalem) | Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/283058
Tel Aviv University – Seminar
Laurent Cognet
Institut d’Optique, CNRS & Université de Bordeaux, Talence, France
Co-sponsored by: Tel Aviv University
Speaker(s): Laurent Cognet,
Agenda:
Single-molecule localization microscopy has set a new paradigm in the field of optical imaging, especially in bioscience, by delivering super-resolution images i.e. with resolution much better than the diffraction limit. Yet, imaging at the single molecule sensitivity remains difficult in the NIR-II biological window (~1000–1350 nm) due to lack of suitable emitters. In addition, the use of long wavelength does not represent an asset when nanoscale imaging is desired. It would however be highly advantageous for in vivo studies because of low light extinction by biological constituents at these wavelengths.
Interestingly, single wall carbon nanotubes display bright and stable photoluminescence in the near-infrared, the domain of wavelength bearing many promises in bioimaging but also in quantum optics for instance. Applying concepts developed in super-resolution imaging to engineer and study basic carbon nanotube photophysics or to design novel nanoprobes thus represents an appealing opportunity. In his quest I will present our efforts to marry carbon nanotube luminescence and super-resolution imaging, for understanding basic excitonic processes in carbon nanotubes, advancing the field of bioimaging or creating optical molecular switches based on carbon nanotube nano-hydrids.

Circuits and architectures with ultra-wide power-performance adaptation – going way beyond voltage scaling - Prof. Massimo Alioto, ECE - National University of Singapore
2021-03-02 11:00 - 12:30 (Asia/Jerusalem) | Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/297829
Wide power-performance adaptation down to nWs has become crucial in always-on nearly real-time and energy-autonomous SoCs that are subject to wide variability in the power availability and the performance target. Wide adaptation is indeed a prerequisite to assure continuous operation in spite of the widely fluctuating energy/power source (e.g., energy harvester), and to grant swift response upon the occurrence of events of interest (e.g., on-chip data analytics), while maintaining extremely low consumption in the common case. These requirements have led to the strong demand of SoCs having an extremely wide performance-power scalability and adaptation, so that they can relentlessly operate without interruption in spite of the highly-uncertain power availability.
In this talk, new directions to drastically extend the performance-power scalability of digital, analog and power management circuits and architectures are presented. Silicon demonstrations of better-than-voltage-scaling adaptation to the workload are illustrated for both the data path (i.e., microarchitecture) and the clock path in the digital sub-system. New directions to achieve full-system coordinated power-performance scaling are also discussed. Silicon demonstrations and trends in the state of the art of battery-light, battery-less and battery-indifferent SoCs are illustrated to quantify the benefits offered by wide power-performance adaptation, identifying opportunities and challenges for the decade ahead. Finally, an always-on mm-scale integrated system that operates uninterruptedly when solely powered by moonlight is demonstrated, paving the way to a new generation of always-on systems with little to no battery.
Massimo Alioto is a Professor at the ECE Department of the National University of Singapore, where he leads the Green IC group, and is the Director of the Integrated Circuits and Embedded Systems area and the FD-FAbrICS research center on intelligent&connected systems. He held positions at the University of Siena, Intel Labs CRL, University of Michigan Ann Arbor, University of California Berkeley, EPFL – Lausanne.
He is (co)author of 300 publications on journals and conference proceedings, and four books with Springer. His primary research interests include ultra-low power circuits and systems, self-powered integrated systems, near-threshold circuits for green computing, widely energy-scalable integrated systems, circuits for machine intelligence, hardware security, and emerging technologies.
He is the Editor in Chief of the IEEE Transactions on VLSI Systems, Distinguished Lecturer for the IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society, and was Deputy Editor in Chief of the IEEE Journal on Emerging and Selected Topics in Circuits and Systems. Previously, Prof. Alioto was the Chair of the “VLSI Systems and Applications” Technical Committee of the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society (2010-2012), as well as Distinguished Lecturer (2009-2010) and member of the Board of Governors (2015-2020).

Circuits and architectures with ultra-wide power-performance adaptation – going way beyond voltage scaling - Prof. Massimo Alioto, ECE - National University of Singapore
2021-03-02 11:00 - 12:30 (Asia/Jerusalem) | Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/285061
Wide power-performance adaptation down to nWs has become crucial in always-on nearly real-time and energy-autonomous SoCs that are subject to wide variability in the power availability and the performance target. Wide adaptation is indeed a prerequisite to assure continuous operation in spite of the widely fluctuating energy/power source (e.g., energy harvester), and to grant swift response upon the occurrence of events of interest (e.g., on-chip data analytics), while maintaining extremely low consumption in the common case. These requirements have led to the strong demand of SoCs having an extremely wide performance-power scalability and adaptation, so that they can relentlessly operate without interruption in spite of the highly-uncertain power availability.
In this talk, new directions to drastically extend the performance-power scalability of digital, analog and power management circuits and architectures are presented. Silicon demonstrations of better-than-voltage-scaling adaptation to the workload are illustrated for both the data path (i.e., microarchitecture) and the clock path in the digital sub-system. New directions to achieve full-system coordinated power-performance scaling are also discussed. Silicon demonstrations and trends in the state of the art of battery-light, battery-less and battery-indifferent SoCs are illustrated to quantify the benefits offered by wide power-performance adaptation, identifying opportunities and challenges for the decade ahead. Finally, an always-on mm-scale integrated system that operates uninterruptedly when solely powered by moonlight is demonstrated, paving the way to a new generation of always-on systems with little to no battery.
Massimo Alioto is a Professor at the ECE Department of the National University of Singapore, where he leads the Green IC group, and is the Director of the Integrated Circuits and Embedded Systems area and the FD-FAbrICS research center on intelligent&connected systems. He held positions at the University of Siena, Intel Labs CRL, University of Michigan Ann Arbor, University of California Berkeley, EPFL – Lausanne.
He is (co)author of 300 publications on journals and conference proceedings, and four books with Springer. His primary research interests include ultra-low power circuits and systems, self-powered integrated systems, near-threshold circuits for green computing, widely energy-scalable integrated systems, circuits for machine intelligence, hardware security, and emerging technologies.
He is the Editor in Chief of the IEEE Transactions on VLSI Systems, Distinguished Lecturer for the IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society, and was Deputy Editor in Chief of the IEEE Journal on Emerging and Selected Topics in Circuits and Systems.

CE Club Seminar - Designing a Programming Language Shared-Memory Concurrency Semantics
2021-02-17 11:30 - 12:30 (Asia/Jerusalem) | Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/283121
A concurrency semantics (aka a memory model) for a programming language defines the allowed behaviors of multithreaded programs. For programmers, sequential consistency (i.e., standard interleaving-based semantics) is considered as the most intuitive model. However, it is too costly to implement. Designing a satisfactory substitute is highly challenging as it requires to carefully balance the conflicting desires of programmers, compilers, and hardware. In this talk I will introduce this challenge and the key ideas behind the prototype example of the C/C++ concurrency model from 2011. Then, I will demonstrate the drawback of the C/C++ approach, notoriously known as the “out-of-thin-air” problem. I will conclude by describing the “promising semantics” solution, and remaining challenges.
We study basic demand-aware problems in offchain network design: Efficiently mapping users to an offchain topology of a known structure as well as constructing a topology of a bounded number of channels that can serve well typical payments. Likewise, we suggest an approach for jointly serving multiple payments by finding an equivalent set of payments that has the same impact on user balance but can be served efficiently in a given topology.
