The cache is a smaller, faster memory which stores copies of the data from frequently used main memory locations. Hence Caches form the integral part of a microprocessor design. Any cache design is proven to the industry/customers through their benchmarks. The main aim of this project is to analyze the cache performance of an Alpha microprocessor for 3 individual benchmarks (GCC, Anagram Alpha and Go) with following design constraints.
The cache design parameters that can be tuned in our example are
Cache Levels: One or two levels, for data and instruction caches
Unified caches: Selection of separate vs. unified instruction/data caches
Size: Cache size is the most important factor to avoid capacity misses.
Block size: Block size of the cache, usually 64 or 32 bytes.
Block replacement policy: Selection between FIFO, LRU and Random.
Associativity: Selection of cache associativity (e.g. direct mapped (1-way set associative), 2-way set associative, etc.)
While larger caches generally mean better performance, they also come at a greater cost. Thus, sensible design choices and trade-offs are required. So we are going to use the cost function to identify the optimal configuration.

This is very important for the applications requiring small system form factors. On‐chip capacitors can be implemented using high‐density capacitor technologies such as deep trench capacitors in IBM SOI processes. However, that will lead to high fabrication cost. With standard CMOS process, from the perspective of circuit designs (neither process, nor device), We are asked to suggest the most effective techniques to achieve high density on‐chip SCPC.

Micro-scale energy harvesting has become an increasingly viable and promising area for powering ultra-low power systems. Switched-capacitor (SC) power converters that use capacitors as energy storage elements offer much better power density than switched-inductor counterparts and are thus attractive in low-power area-constrained applications. Switched-capacitor (SC) converters have shown tremendous promise in this regard due to favorable device utilization and scaling trends, and the emergence of high-density silicon-compatible capacitor technologies. With the rising integration levels used to increase digital processing performance, there is a clear need for multiple independent on-chip supplies in order to support per-IP or block power management. The growing demand for both performance and battery life in portable consumer electronics requires SoCs and power management circuits to be small, efficient, and dynamically powerful. This project first reviews various design techniques for implementing high density On-chip Switched-capacitor (SC) power converters and secondly suggests the best technique to solve aspects of power converter design: Area Density, Power Consumption & Efficiency.

Micro-Electro Mechanical System (MEMS) energy harvesting is an emerging alternative for scavenging energy from natural sources. It has extensive potential in wireless sensor applications to provide a natural energy source that is essentially inexhaustible. It is an increasingly attractive alternative to costly batteries. This essentially free energy source is available maintenance-free throughout the lifetime of the application. Many systems, such as wireless sensor networks, portable electronics and cell phones, can use this technology as a power source. Although some types of MEMS, such as electro-magnetic MEMS, electrostatic MEMS, and piezoelectric MEMS, are used to provide energy in various applications, they have several technical barriers that limit their applications, including low efficiency, issues of scaling, and high cost.Novel MEMS solar energy harvesting technology is scalable and also easily integrated in microsystems. The RF MEMS design not only has to provide functional efficiency, but also must work within the limits of maximum charge and discharge conversion efficiency. The energy harvesting technologies currently available which utilizes RF MEMS to convert solar energy into charge, can achieve better benefits than photovoltaic cells. In this presentation the design,fabrication, testing and evaluation of RF MEMS and its working limits in charging and discharging is illustrated .

The BOOT LOADER pattern describes the mechanisms that are necessary to start a computer, from being switched on, up to full operability. In order to run-up into a defined state of operation, with the operating system initialized and started, a sequence of single bootstrap steps is performed, each gaining a higher level of operability. This technique also supports flexibility in different dimensions, e.g. selecting a software version, a boot device, or even updating the whole software.

algorithms for circuit partitioning. It is majorly
focused on dividing a circuit into non-overlapping
sub-circuits while minimizing the number of cuts
after the division and balancing the load attached to
each one. These algorithms are developed with the
main aim of improving partition quality obtained and
the reduction of the computational time. Since VLSI
circuits can be easily developed by graphs, various
partitioning graphs are studied against both
simulated and real-world partitioning criteria [11].
Here the circuit partitioning problem is being studied
with constraints like area and delay to optimize the
circuit performance. It is being studied that,
partitioning algorithms are also capable for the
assignment of the random logic blocks and IP blocks
into different tiers of 3D design same as planner or
2D design. The algorithms developed, however,
partitions the circuit into only balanced parts. To
create more parts the algorithm is used recursively.
