There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Title: EDA for High-performance and Reliable 3D Memory Cubes and Processors

Abstract: The objective of the proposed research is to explore various design methodologies and related architectures for high-performance and reliable 3D designs of memory cubes and processors. First, we develop a new die stacking architecture targeting space applications that leverages the high radiation hardness of commercial DRAM and NAND flash dies. Then, we design custom radiation-hardened-by-design (RHBD) logic controllers that fully exploit the new proposed configurations of our DRAM and NAND flash cubes. We also present a power, performance, area, and cost analysis of large-scale manycore 3D memory-on-logic processors. Finally, in the remaining part of the research, we will propose improvements to a Memory-On-Logic EDA flow towards a more holistic approach as well as develop a PPA-aware tier partitioner enhanced with reinforcement learning algorithms.
