IRPS is the preeminent conference for timely research on reliability physics of devices, materials, circuits, and products used in the electronics industry. The award is based on post-conference feedback from attendees.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EA Ph.D. student in the Georgia Tech School of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE), Song was awarded this distinction for his paper, \u201cManaging Performance-Reliability Tradeoffs in Multicore Processors\u201d, co-authored with ECE Professors Sudhakar Yalamanchili (who is Song\u2019s Ph.D. advisor) and Saibal Mukhopadhyay.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EA fundamental trade-off exists between processor performance and lifetime reliability, and high throughput operations increase power and heat dissipation, which have an adverse impact on lifetime reliability. In contrast, lifetime reliability favors low utilization to reduce stresses and avoid failures.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EA key challenge in understanding this tradeoff is in connecting application characteristics to device-level degradation behaviors. Using a full-system microarchitecture and physics simulation framework, the research team analyzed the performance-reliability tradeoff in a multicore processor by introducing a new metric, throughput-lifetime product (TLP). The team\u2019s research findings produced new techniques to effectively manage tradeoffs between lifetime reliability and performance.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ESong\u0027s work was supported by the Semiconductor Research Corporation (SRC) through an SRC Graduate Fellowship.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EECE Ph.D. student\u0026nbsp; William Song won the Best Student Paper Award at the 2015 IEEE International Reliability Physics Symposium (IRPS), held April 21-23 in Monterey, California.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"ECE Ph.D. student  William Song won the Best Student Paper Award at the 2015 IEEE International Reliability Physics Symposium (IRPS), held April 21-23 in Monterey, California."}],"uid":"27241","created_gmt":"2015-08-27 13:07:50","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 03:19:26","author":"Jackie Nemeth","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2015-08-27T00:00:00-04:00","iso_date":"2015-08-27T00:00:00-04:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"440921":{"id":"440921","type":"image","title":"William Song","body":null,"created":"1449256175","gmt_created":"2015-12-04 19:09:35","changed":"1475895179","gmt_changed":"2016-10-08 02:52:59","alt":"William Song","file":{"fid":"203069","name":"william_song_0.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/william_song_0_0.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/william_song_0_0.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":543386,"path_740":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/william_song_0_0.jpg?itok=a7dGOrHD"}}},"media_ids":["440921"],"related_links":[{"url":"http:\/\/casl.gatech.edu\/","title":"Computer Architecture and Systems Laboratory"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.ece.gatech.edu\/","title":"School of Electrical and Computer Engineering"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.gatech.edu\/","title":"Georgia Tech"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.irps.org\/","title":"2015 IEEE International Reliability Physics Symposium"}],"groups":[{"id":"1255","name":"School of Electrical and Computer Engineering"}],"categories":[{"id":"134","name":"Student and Faculty"},{"id":"153","name":"Computer Science\/Information Technology and Security"},{"id":"8862","name":"Student Research"},{"id":"144","name":"Energy"},{"id":"145","name":"Engineering"},{"id":"149","name":"Nanotechnology and Nanoscience"},{"id":"135","name":"Research"},{"id":"150","name":"Physics and Physical Sciences"}],"keywords":[{"id":"107711","name":"Computer Architecture and Systems Laboratory"},{"id":"109","name":"Georgia Tech"},{"id":"166900","name":"Saibal Mukhopadhyay"},{"id":"166855","name":"School of Electrical and Computer Engineering"},{"id":"171332","name":"Sudhakar Yalamanchili"},{"id":"107661","name":"William Song"}],"core_research_areas":[{"id":"39431","name":"Data Engineering and Science"},{"id":"39451","name":"Electronics and Nanotechnology"},{"id":"39531","name":"Energy and Sustainable Infrastructure"}],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EJackie Nemeth\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ESchool of Electrical and Computer Engineering\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E404-894-2906\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:jackie.nemeth@ece.gatech.edu\u0022\u003Ejackie.nemeth@ece.gatech.edu\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":["jackie.nemeth@ece.gatech.edu"],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
