This thesis proposes energy efficient architectues to tackle both of these issues.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ENext generation devices are fast switching even at few tens of millivolts, but as a result, are vulnerable to thermal noise perturbations, resulting in intermittent, stochastic, bit errors in logic. The first part of this thesis proposes a novel, energy-efficient architecture that uses residue codes for computational error correction, in spite of the fact that residue codes cause memory access irregularities.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EAnother cause of memory access irregularities is sparse data applications, even when conventional architectures are used. With the help of novel representations, algorithms and near memory processing, the second part of this thesis tackles the fundamental problem of latency of main memory accesses of sparse data streams, while also significantly reducing overheads of data movement through the memory hierarchy.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Energy Efficient Architectures for Irregular Data Streams"}],"uid":"27707","created_gmt":"2018-05-29 13:03:01","changed_gmt":"2018-05-29 13:03:01","author":"Tatianna Richardson","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2018-05-30T11:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2018-05-30T13:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2018-05-30T13:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2018-05-30 15:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2018-05-30 17:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2018-05-30 17:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"221981","name":"Graduate Studies"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"102851","name":"Phd proposal"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1788","name":"Other\/Miscellaneous"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78771","name":"Public"},{"id":"174045","name":"Graduate students"},{"id":"78751","name":"Undergraduate students"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
