Advanced technologies bring their own reliability behaviour:ageing mechanisms, variability and transient faults that differ by technologyand by operating point. Most of this knowledge stops at the device or thecircuit. What a system designer needs is the other end of the chain: how muchmargin a system loses over its lifetime, how often a fault reaches an output,and which architectural or technological choice buys the most reliability perunit of cost.
The student will work on a reliability framework that takesdevice-level reliability data for advanced technologies, propagates it throughcircuits and blocks, and expresses it as system-level metrics forrepresentative workloads. The work includes building and calibrating the modelsacross the layers, identifying where the dominant losses arise, and exploringmitigations that combine technology choice and architecture, so thatreliability becomes a quantity that can be traded against power, performanceand area.
Type of internship: Master internship
Duration: 6-9 months
Required educational background: Electrotechnics/Electrical Engineering
Supervising scientist(s): For further information or for application, please contact Siva Satyendra Sahoo (< email deleted for security reasons >)
