On effective IDDQ Testing of low-voltage CMOS circuits using leakage control techniques
Authors: Zhanping Chen, Liqiong Wei, Kaushik Roy
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) Systems (2001)

The use of low-threshold devices in low0voltage CMOS circuits leads to an exponential increase in the intrinsic leakage current. This threatens the effectiveness of IDDQ testing for such low-voltage circuits because it is difficult to differentiate a defect-free circuit from defective circuits. Recently, several leakage control techniques have been proposed to reduce intrinsic leakage current, which may benefit IDDQ testing. In this paper, we investigate the possibilities of applying different leakage control techniques to improve the fault coverage of IDDQ testing. Results on a large number of benchmarks indicate that dual-threshold and vector control techniques can be very effective in improving fault coverage for IDDQ testing for some circuits.

Almost all monotone Boolean functions are polynomially learnable using membership queries
Authors: Ilya Shmulevich, Aleksey D. Korshunov, Jaakko Astola
Venue: Information Processing Letters (2001)

We consider exact learning or identification of monotone Boolean functions by only using membership queries. It is shown that almost all monotone Boolean functions are polynomially identifiable in the input number of variables as well as the output being the sum of the sizes of the CNF and DNF representations.
A joint power/performance optimization algorithm for multiprocessor systems using a period graph construct
Authors: Neal K. Bambha, Shuvra S. Bhattacharyya
Venue: Proceedings of the 13th international symposium on System synthesis (2000)

A critical challenge in synthesis techniques for iterative applications is the efficient analysis of performance in the presence of communication resource contention. To address this challenge, we introduce the concept of the period graph. The period graph is constructed from the output of a simulation of the system, with idle states included in the graph, and its maximum cycle mean is used to estimate overall system throughput. As an example of the utility of the period graph, we demonstrate its use in a joint power/performance optimization solution that uses either a nested genetic algorithm, or a simulated annealing algorithm. We analyze the fidelity of this estimator, and quantify the speedup and optimization accuracy obtained compared to simulation.

PicASHOW: pictorial authority search by hyperlinks on the web
Venue: ACM Transactions on Information Systems (TOIS) (2002)

We describe PicASHOW, a fully automated WWW image retrieval system that is based on several link-structure analyzing algorithms. Our basic premise is that a page p displays (or links to) an image when the author of p considers the image to be of value to the viewers of the page. We thus extend some well known link-based WWW page retrieval schemes to the context of image retrieval.PicASHOW's analysis of the link structure enables it to retrieve relevant images even when those are stored in files with meaningless names. The same analysis also allows it to identify image containers and image hubs. We define these as Web pages that are rich in relevant images, or from which many images are readily accessible.PicASHOW requires no image analysis whatsoever and no creation of taxonomies for preclassification of the Web's images. It can be implemented by standard WWW search engines with reasonable overhead, in terms of both computations and storage, and with no change to user query formats. It can thus be used to easily add image retrieving capabilities to standard search engines.Our results demonstrate that PicASHOW, while relying almost exclusively on link analysis, compares well with dedicated WWW image retrieval systems. We conclude that link analysis, a proven effective technique for Web page search, can improve the performance of Web image retrieval, as well as extend its definition to include the retrieval of image hubs and containers.

Machine Beauty: Elegance and the Heart of Technology, 1st edition
Authors: David Hillel Gelernter
Venue:  (1998)

:When something works well, you can feel it; there is a sense of rightness to it. We call that rightness beauty, and it ought to be the single most important component of design. This recognition is at the heart of David Gelernter's wittily argued essay, Machine Beauty, which defines beauty as an inspired mating of simplicity and power. You can see it in a Bauhaus chair, the Hoover Dam, or an Emerson radio circa 1930. In contrast, too many contemporary technologists run out of ideas and resort to gimmicks and features; they are rarely capable of real, structural ingenuity. Nowhere is this more evident than in the world of computers. You don't have to look far to see how oblivious most computer technologists are to the idea of beauty. Just look at how ugly your computer cabinet is, how unwieldy and out of sync if feels with the manner and speed with which you process thought. The best designers, however, are obsessed with beauty. Both hardware and software should afford us the greatest opportunity to achieve deep beauty, the kind of beauty that happens when many types of loveliness reinforce one another, when design expresses an underlying technology, a machine logic. Program software ought to be transparent: it should engage what Gelernter calls "a thought-amplifying feedback loop," a creative symbiosis with its user. These principles, beautiful in themselves, will set the stage for the next technological revolution, in which the pursuit of elegance will lead to extraordinary innovations.

The changing face of entertainment and the driving force behind it: computer simulation
Authors: Richard Kidd
Venue: Proceedings of the 32nd conference on Winter simulation (2000)

In today's world of entertainment computers are used more than ever to take the viewer to new "places" in games, television & feature films. In games, we drive a stock car around the high banks of the Daytona International Speedway. In television we become part of an alien world at a scheduled time each week, and in feature films we set sail on the open seas on an 85-year old ocean liner. Without computer simulation, there are many reasons why we would not be able to enter these worlds and entertainment would not be what it is today. This paper will discuss the practical use and goals of using simulation in entertainment. With these goals as our guide, we will examine the tools that are used to design our model of the physical system, execute that system, and analyze the output. We will study both the traditional tools and the tools of the future. As desktop computers become supercomputers and multiple CPUs on the desktop become the norm, our mathematical models will become increasingly complex. This increase will lead to more accurate simulations, thereby changing the faces of entertainment and blurring the lines of reality.

Handbook of MRP II and JIT: Strategies for Total Manufacturing Control
Authors: John N. Petroff
Venue:  (1993)

:It's no secret that Manufacturing Resource Planning (MRP II) and Just-in-Time (JIT) systems hold the key to fast response to customer demands, lower total costs, and minimum product defects. That, indeed, they are indispensable for achieving world-class performance and competing successfully in the global marketplace. Yet as manufacturing expert and consultant John Petroff has discovered in working with firms in the U.S. and abroad, few manufacturing businesses are taking full advantage of MRP II and JIT to improve their planning, scheduling, and control. And businesses with an MRP I or older system in place aren't sure how to make the smoothest transition to a more advanced and integrated manufacturing operation. In the Handbook of MRP II and JIT, Petroff provides the hands-on guidance and ready-to-use tools that enable any manufacturer to set up the most effective companywide MRP II/JIT-based system while avoiding common and costly mistakes. All this practical information is organized into 12 chapters, for quick access and easy use. Chapter 1 gives you an overview of the main elements necessary to optimize operating efficiency and competitiveness - including two vital prerequisites for implementing Total Management and how to use a powerful but virtually unknown strategy called Time Compression to perform administrative tasks with the fewest delays as they pass from department to department. Chapter 2 shows how to most effectively manage the demand side of your business. Sample strategic, marketing, and sales plans - utilizing new techniques like tracking signals and time-phased order points - make it easy to prepare amazingly accurate forecasts for everything from families of products to unit production at various plant locations. Chapter 3 shows how to apply the newest and best MRP II methods to manage supplies, including multi-level, capacity, and material requirements planning.
