본 논문에서는 슈퍼스칼라 구조를 가진 시스템의 명령어 캐시에서 효율적으로 소프트오류를 검출할 수 있는 기법을 제안한다. 명령어 캐시로 주로 사용되는 고속 정적 RAM(Random Access Memory)에 적용할 수 있으며 1D 패리티와 인터리빙을 통해 기존 기법들과 비교하여 더 적은 메모리 오버헤드로 연집오류를 검출할 수 있다. 정적 RAM에서는 소프트오류의 발생만을 확인하고 검출된 소프트오류의 정정은 명령어 캐시의 캐시 미스와 같이 처리하여 하위 메모리로부터 명령어들을 다시 인출하는 방식이다. 이를 통해 명령어 캐시의 성능에 영향을 주지 않으면서 연집오류를 검출하고 정정할 수 있으며 최대 4$\times$4의 윈도우 내에서 발생된 연집오류를 검출 할 수 있다. 제안된 방식을 이용하면 256비트 $\times$ 256비트 크기의 메모리에서 기존의 4-way 인터리빙 기법에서 검출에 필요한 패리티 크기의 25%만으로도 동일한 4비트의 연집오류를 검출 할 수 있다.

This work presents a low-voltage static random access memory (SRAM) technique based on a dual-boosted cell array. For each read/write cycle, the wordline and cell power node of selected SRAM cells are boosted into two different voltage levels. This technique enhances the read static noise margin to a sufficient level without an increase in cell size. It also improves the SRAM circuit speed due to an increase in the cell read-out current. A 0.18 ${\mu}m$ CMOS 256-kbit SRAM macro is fabricated with the proposed technique, which demonstrates 0.8 V operation with 50 MHz while consuming 65 ${\mu}W$/MHz. It also demonstrates an 87% bit error rate reduction while operating with a 43% higher clock frequency compared with that of conventional SRAM.

Data storage related with writing and retrieving requires high storage capacity, fast transfer rate and less access time. Today any data storage system cannot satisfy these conditions, however holographic data storage system can perform faster data transfer rate because it is a page oriented memory system using volume hologram in writing and retrieving data. System can be constructed without mechanical actuating part so fast data transfer rate and high storage capacity about 1Tb/cm3 can be realized. In this research, to correct errors of binary data stored in holographic data storage system, a new method for reduction errors is suggested. First, find cluster centers using subtractive clustering algorithm then reduce intensities of pixels around cluster centers. By using this error reduction method following results are obtained ; the effect of Inter Pixel Interference noise in the holographic data storage system is decreased and the intensity profile of data page becomes uniform therefore the better data storage system can be constructed.

Because ATM was originally designed for the optical fiber environment with bit error rate(BER) of 10-11, it is difficult to maintain ATM cell extraction capability in wireless environment where BER ranges from 10-6 to 10-3. Therefore, it must be proposed the algorithm of ATM cell extraction in wereless environment. In this paper, the frame structure and synchronization algorithm satisfyling the above condition are explained, and the new ASIC implementation method of this algorithm is proposed. The known method using shift register needs so many gates that it is not suitable for ASIC implementation. But in the proposed method, a considerable reduction in gate count can be achieved by using random access memory.

스트리밍 형태로 처리되는 멀티미디어 응용 데이터는 공간적 지역성은 큰 대신 시간적 지역성이 낮은 특징이 있다. 이 논문에서는 멀티미디어 응용 데이터에 내재된 메모리 참조의 규칙성을 활용하는 동적 선인출 기법을 제안하였다. 제안된 기법은 배열을 작은 블록으로 나누어 블록별로 계산을 수행하는 응용 프로그램의 경우에 기존의 방법과 비교하여 선인출 에러를 크게 줄일 수 있다. 여러 가지 미디어 벤치마크에 대한 실험 결과, 제안된 기법이 기존의 선형 선인출 기법에 비하여 예측의 정확도가 높고 성능이 우수함을 확인하였다.

Field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) are getting more attention in safety-related and safety-critical application development of nuclear power plant instrumentation and control systems. The high logic density and advancements in architectural features make static random access memory (SRAM)-based FPGAs suitable for complex design implementations. Devices deployed in the nuclear environment face radiation particle strike that causes transient and permanent failures. The major reasons for failures are total ionization dose effects, displacement damage dose effects, and single event effects. Different from the case of space applications, soft errors are the major concern in terrestrial applications. In this article, a review of radiation effects on FPGAs is presented, especially soft errors in SRAM-based FPGAs. Single event upset (SEU) shows a high probability of error in the dependable application development in FPGAs. This survey covers the main sources of radiation and its effects on FPGAs, with emphasis on SEUs as well as on the measurement of radiation upset sensitivity and irradiation experimental results at various facilities. This article also presents a comparison between the major SEU mitigation techniques in the configuration memory and user logics of SRAM-based FPGAs.

We investigated accelerated soft error rate (ASER) in static random access memory (SRAM) cells of thin film transistor (TFT) type. The effects on ASER by cell density, buried nwell structure, operational voltage, and polysilicon-2 layer thickness were examined. The increase in the operational voltage, and the decrease in the density of SRAM cells, respectively, resulted in the decrease of ASER values. The SRAM chips with buried nwell showed lower ASER than those with normal well structure did. The ASER decreased as the test distance from alpha source to the sample increased from $7{\mu}m\;to\;15{\mu}m$. As the polysilicon-2 thickness increased up to $1000\;{\AA}$, the ASER decreased exponentially. In conclusion, the best condition for low soft error rate, which is essential to obtain highly reliable SRAM device, is to apply the buried nwell structure scheme and to fabricate thin film transistors with the thick polysilicon-2 layer
