Generation of Technology-Independent Retargetable Analog Blocks

This paper introduces a complete methodology for retargeting of analog cells to different sets of specifications. This methodology is technology-independent, thus allowing the migration, from one technology to another, of the circuit under retargeting. Careful integration of the device sizing and layout generation tasks via the incorporation of layout constraints during the sizing process allows to generate fully functional designs in a few minutes. The methodology is illustrated via the retargeting of a fully-differential Miller-compensated two-stage operational amplifier for a new set of specifications and two different technological processes.An erratum to this article can be found at

一种基于局部保持的子流形可视化方法

针对多数流形学习算法是基于单一流形的假设,当高维数据集中存在多个流形,流形学习算法可视化效果差问题,借鉴流形曲面在二维平面空间展开的思想提出基于局部保持的的子流形可视化方法。利用奇异值分解和k均值聚类方法将流形数据划分为多块子流形,计算第一流形切块中心与其余切块中心的拓扑结构关系,在目标低维空间保持上述中心间拓扑结构下逐一对流形切块投影展开,最后在人脸数据集上进行实验。实验结果表明:该方法较好保持了子流形内的数据间的拓扑结构。

基于运动估算的多分辨率地形分块调度方法

针对常用的基于视点位置进行地形分块调度方法存在可视窗口固定、调度范围和时机不能根据视点运动特点进行调整而导致内存利用率低的问题,提出一种基于运动估算的地形分块调度方法.以数据密度为标准进行多分辨率地形划分,结合四叉树和二维矩阵对地形分块建立空间索引,重点研究以视点位置、视线方向、视点运动向量和地形分块数据量为参数的调度方法;通过计算预加载区域和卸载区域的地形分块,实时更新其调度范围和调度时机.实验结果表明,与基于视点位置的方法相比,该方法平均能提高3～4倍左右的内存有效数据比例和绘制帧速.     

3维地质体模型中闭合结构的提取

在地质体建模中,曲面问的拓扑结构分析是一个非常重要的步骤.为了得到块体结构的模型,需要对层面模型内所有的曲面进行全局性的拓扑分析.当层面模型的数据规模极其庞大的时候,这种全局性的分析势必要受到内存容量的限制.为了提高运算速度,提出了一种基于简化面片的闭合块体构造算法,该算法可将模型内所有的曲面数据尽可能地简化,仅仅保留交线附近的关键数据.这种简化后的层面模型既包含了全局的拓扑信息,又可以完全载入内存.实验结果表明,该算法不仅具有较快的拓扑分析速度,并能适用于大规模的地质体模型的构建.     

Enhancing encoding capacity of combinational test stimulus decompressors

While scan-based compression is widely utilized in order to alleviate the test time and data volume problems,the overall compression level is dictated not only by the chain to channel ratio but also the ratio of encodable patterns.Aggressively increasing the number of scan chains in an effort to raise the compression levels may reduce the ratio of encodable patterns,degrading the overall compression level.In this paper,we present various methods to improve the ratio of encodable patterns.These methods are b...     

BAIS: A Bayesian Artificial Immune System for the effective handling of building blocks

Significant progress has been made in theory and design of Artificial Immune Systems (AISs) for solving hard problems accurately. However, an aspect not yet widely addressed by the research reported in the literature is the lack of ability of the AISs to deal effectively with building blocks (partial high-quality solutions coded in the antibody). The available AISs present mechanisms for evolving the population that do not take into account the relationship among the variables of the problem, potentially causing the disruption of high-quality partial solutions. This paper proposes a novel AIS with abilities to identify and properly manipulate building blocks in optimization problems. Instead of using cloning and mutation to generate new individuals, our algorithm builds a probabilistic model representing the joint probability distribution of the promising solutions and, subsequently, uses this model for sampling new solutions. The probabilistic model used is a Bayesian network due to its capability of properly capturing the most relevant interactions among the variables. Therefore, our algorithm, called Bayesian Artificial Immune System (BAIS), represents a significant attempt to improve the performance of immune-inspired algorithms when dealing with building blocks, and hence to solve efficiently hard optimization problems with complex interactions among the variables. The performance of BAIS compares favorably with that produced by contenders such as state-of-the-art Estimation of Distribution Algorithms.
