Prof. Alioto’s talk at HotChips 2014 summarizes the current state of the art and provides technology directions for ultra-low power VLSI design for the Internet of Things. The video is available at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WDQepWIs9A#t=2974.
The vision of Prof. Alioto on the Internet of Things has been featured in the PC World magazine, which is a popular global publication and the largest-circulation computing magazine in the world with millions of readers. The article can be found at http://www.pcworld.com/article/2463500/energy-harvested-from-body-environment-could-power-wearables-iot-devices.html.
Collaboration with Prof. David Blaauw and Prof. Dennis Sylvester (Umich) led to the work that we presented at ISSCC 2014.Our 28-nm chip demonstrates the absolutely first SRAM that can flexibly operate in error-free (traditional) or error-tolerant (errors occur, although in a controlled way) mode with dynamic and wide adjustment of the energy-quality tradeoff. This is […]
