Abstract

Design-time solutions and guard-bands for resilience are no longer sufficient for integrated circuits and electronic systems. This presentation will describe how data analytics and real-time monitoring can be used to ensure that integrated circuits, boards, and systems operate as intended. The speaker will first present a representative critical path (RCP) selection method based on machine learning and linear algebra that allows us to measure the delay of a small set of paths and infer the delay of a much larger pool of paths. In the second part of the talk, the speaker will focus on the resilience problem for boards and systems; we are seeing a significant gap today between working silicon and a working board/system, which is reflected in failures at the board and system level that cannot be duplicated at the component level. The speaker will describe how machine learning, statistical techniques, and information-theoretic analysis can be used to close the gap between working silicon and a working system. Finally, the presenter will describe how time-series analysis can be used to detect anomalies in complex core router systems.
