Women in Circuits [Guest Editorial

The fall 2022 issue of <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">IEEE Solid-State Circuits Magazine</i> , on “Women in Circuits (WiC),” follows the tradition of previous issues since 2017, enabling more exposure to female leaders through exposition of their work in circuits and systems on a variety of important topics or their personal life/career experiences. WiC is also committed to promoting female leaders and diversity in the IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society (SSCS) and (co)organizing a variety of events to serve our communities, such as mentorship events at different conferences, including the International Solid-State Circuits Conference (ISSCC), the IEEE Symposium on VLSI Technology and Circuits (the VLSI Symposium), the IEEE Custom Integrated Circuits Conference (CICC), and the IEEE Asian Solid-State Circuits Conference (A-SSCC), among others. The WiC Committee would like to encourage more people to participate in future events. The following SSCS members were asked to contribute to this issue.

An Adaptive and High Coding Rate Soft Error Correction Method in Network-on-Chips

The soft error rates per single-bit due to alpha particles in sub-micron technology is expectedly reducedas the feature size is shrinking. On the other hand, the complexity and density of integrated systems are accelerating which demand ecient soft error protection mechanisms, especially for on-chip communication. Using soft error protection method has to satisfy tight requirements for the area and energy consumption, therefore a low complexity and low redundancy coding method is necessary. In this work, we propose a method to enhance Parity Product Code (PPC) and provide adaptation methods for this code. First, PPC is improved as forward error correcting using transposable retransmissions. Then, to adapt with dierent error rates, an augmented algorithm for configuring PPC is introduced. The evaluation results show that the proposed mechanism has coding rates similar to Parity check’s and outperforms the original PPC.Keywords&#x0D; Error Correction Code, Fault-Tolerance, Network-on-Chip.&#x0D; References&#x0D; [1] R.
