Adder and Multiplier Design in Quantum-Dot Cellular Automata
Quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA) is an emerging nanotechnology, with the potential for faster speed, smaller size, and lower power consumption than transistor-based technology. Quantum-dot cellular automata has a simple cell as the basic element. The ...
An Algebraic Language for Distributed Quantum Computing
A classical circuit can be represented by a circuit graph or equivalently by a Boolean expression. The advantage of a circuit graph is that it can help us to obtain an intuitive understanding of the circuit under consideration, whereas the advantage of ...
Performance Trade-Offs in Using NVRAM Write Buffer for Flash Memory-Based Storage Devices
While NAND flash memory is used in a variety of end-user devices, it has a few disadvantages, such as asymmetric speed of read and write operations, inability to in-place updates, among others. To overcome these problems, various flash-aware strategies ...
Potential Impact of Value Prediction on Communication in Many-Core Architectures
The newly emerging many-core-on-a-chip designs have renewed an intense interest in parallel processing. By applying Amdahl's formulation to the programs in the PARSEC and SPLASH-2 benchmark suites, we find that most applications may not have sufficient ...
AGAMOS: A Graph-Based Approach to Modulo Scheduling for Clustered Microarchitectures
This paper presents AGAMOS, a technique to modulo schedule loops on clustered microarchitectures. The proposed scheme uses a multilevel graph partitioning strategy to distribute the workload among clusters and reduces the number of intercluster ...
An Exploration of the Effects of State Granularity through (m, k) Real-Time Streams
Real-time media servers are becoming increasingly important as the Internet supports more and more multimedia applications. In order to meet these ever increasing demands, real-time media servers will be responsible for supporting a large number of ...
Statistical Analysis of Second Order Differential Power Analysis
Second order Differential Power Analysis (2O-DPA) is a powerful side-channel attack that allows an attacker to bypass the widely used masking countermeasure. To thwart 2O-DPA, higher order masking may be employed but it implies a nonnegligible overhead. ...
Energy Efficient and Scalable Search in Dense Wireless Sensor Networks
In this paper, we consider the problem of information discovery in a densely deployed Wireless Sensor Network (WSN), where the initiator of search is unaware of the location of target information. We propose two protocols: Increasing Ray Search (IRS), ...
Multiresolution Spatial and Temporal Coding in a Wireless Sensor Network for Long-Term Monitoring Applications
In many WSN (wireless sensor network) applications, such as [1], [2], [3], the targets are to provide long-term monitoring of environments. In such applications, energy is a primary concern because sensor nodes have to regularly report data to the sink ...
Routing in Outer Space: Fair Traffic Load in Multihop Wireless Networks
In this paper, we consider security-related and energy efficiency issues in multihop wireless networks. We start our work from the observation, known in the literature, that shortest path routing creates congested areas in multihop wireless networks. ...
Concurrent Error Detection and Correction in Gaussian Normal Basis Multiplier over GF(2^m)
Fault-based cryptanalysis has been developed to effectively break both private-key and public-key cryptosystems, making robust finite field multiplication a very important research topic in recent years. However, no robust normal basis multiplier has ...
Exact Path Delay Fault Coverage Calculation of Partitioned Circuits
Exact path delay fault (PDF) coverage calculation of large circuits with an exponential number of detectable PDFs requires exponential memory space. This often yields memory overflow in computations. One common approach to avoid memory overflow is to ...
