SeaPlace: Process Variation Aware Placement for Reliable Combinational Circuits against SETs and METs
arxiv(2021)
摘要
Nowadays nanoscale combinational circuits are facing significant reliability challenges including soft errors and process variations. This paper presents novel process variation-aware placement strategies that include two algorithms to increase the reliability of combinational circuits against both Single Event Transients (SETs) and Multiple Event Transients (METs). The first proposed algorithm is a global placement method (called SeaPlace-G) that places the cells for hardening the circuit against SETs by solving a quadratic formulation. Afterwards, a detailed placement algorithm (named SeaPlace-D) is proposed to increase the circuit reliability against METs by solving a linear programming optimization problem. Experimental results show that SeaPlace-G and SeaPlace-D averagely achieve 41.78% and 32.04% soft error reliability improvement against SET and MET, respectively. Moreover, when SeaPlace-D is followed by SeaPlace-G, MET reduction can be improved by up to 53.3%.
