As technology scaling reaches the physical limits of silicon, several new problems must be addressed, from the design of low-power but high performace circuits, to the reliability issue of weak transistors and mixed technologies (nanowrires, SET, etc). These technological problems will impact several layers of the current abstraction stack that covers computers and software production. New architectural solutions that explore parallelism at different granularity must be sought, not only for performance/energy trade-offs, but also as a means to assure reliability, fault tolerance and yield, thanks to regularity. This talk presents some ideias on this direction, covering future processor architectures and their communication mechanisms, discussing strategies that can deal with this multivariable problem. Specifically, we will discuss how one can design a CPU able to withstand multiple fabrication faults, and still provide acceleration even with slower, beyond CMOS technologies. Moreover, we will present the use of reconfiguration to develop a fault tolerant NOC, that can adjust its performance at run time.
Luigi Carro was born in Porto Alegre, Brazil, in 1962. He received the Electrical Engineering and the MSc degrees from Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS), Brazil, in 1985 and 1989, respectively. From 1989 to 1991 he worked at ST-Microelectronics, Agrate, Italy, in the R&D group. In 1996 he received the Dr. degree in the area of Computer Science from Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS), Brazil. He is presently a professor at the Applied Informatics Department at the Informatics Institute of UFRGS, in charge of Computer Architecture and Organization disciplines at the undergraduate levels. He is also a member of the Graduation Program in Computer Science at UFRGS, where he is co-responsible for courses on Embedded Systems, Digital signal Processing, and VLSI Design. His primary research interests include embedded systems design, validation, automation and test, fault tolerance for future technologies and rapid system prototyping. He has published more than 150 technical papers on those topics and is the author of the book Digital systems Design and Prototyping (2001-in portuguese) and co-author of Fault-Tolerance Techniques for SRAM-based FPGAs (2006-Springer).
