Efficient Design of Variation-Resilient Ultra-Low Energy Digital Processors
暫譯: 高效設計變異抗性超低能耗數位處理器

本書使讀者能夠實現超低能耗的數位系統性能。作者的主要焦點是數位（子）系統中微控制器架構的能量消耗。本書廣泛涵蓋了多個主題：從電路到設計策略，再到系統架構。其結果是一套技術和背景，以實現最低能耗的數位系統。書中討論了幾個原型矽實現，這些實現對所提出的技術進行了測試。所取得的結果展示了變異韌性、高速性能和超低能耗的非凡結合。

Hans Reyserhove was born in Turnhout, Belgium in 1989. He received the B.S. and M.S. degrees cum laude in engineering science, electrical engineering from KU Leuven, Leuven, Belgium, in 2010 and 2012. The topic of his master thesis was "A pixel level ADC for extreme parallelism, high frame rate and high dynamic range image sensors." In 2011, he interned at the NCTU Si2Lab, Hsinchu, Taiwan. He is currently working as a research assistant at the ESAT- MICAS laboratories of the KU Leuven towards a Ph.D. degree in the field of near-threshold digital circuit design with a focus on automating design flows, standard cell design, microprocessors and better-than-worst-case design techniques. The promoter of his Ph.D. is Prof. Dr. Ir. Wim Dehaene. His main research interests are local and energy-efficient compute, low voltage operation, microprocessors and better-than-worst-case design techniques.

Wim Dehaene was born in Nijmegen, The Netherlands, in 1967. He received the M. Sc. degree in electrical and mechanical en- gineering in 1991 from the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven. In November 1996 he received the Ph. D degree at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven. His thesis is entitled CMOS integrated circuits for analog signal processing in hard disk systems. After receiving the M. Sc. Degree Wim Dehaene was a research assistant at the ESAT-MICAS Laboratory of the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven. His research involved the design of novel CMOS building blocks for hard disk systems. The research was first sponsored by the IWONL (Belgian Institute for Science and Research in Industry and agriculture) and later by the IWT (the Flemish institute for Scientific Research in the Industry). In November 1996 Wim Dehaene joined Alcatel Microelectronics, Belgium. There he was a senior project leader for the feasibility, design and development of mixed mode Systems on Chip. The application domains were telephony, xDSL and high speed wireless LAN. In July 2002 Wim Dehaene joined the staff of the ESAT- MICAS laboratory of the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven where he is now a full professor and head of the MICAS division. His research domain is circuit level design of digital circuits. The current focus is on ultra low power signal processing and memories in advanced CMOS technologies. Part of this research is performed in cooperation with IMEC, Belgium, where he is also a part time principal scientist. Wim Dehaene is teaching several classes on electrical engineering and digital circuit and system design. He is also very interested in the didactics of engineering. As such he is guiding several projects aiming to bring engineering to youngsters in secondary education and he is a teacher in the teacher education program of the KULeuven. Wim Dehaene is a senior member of the IEEE. Wim Dehaene was the technical program-chair for ESSCIRC 2017. He also is a member of the ISSCC program committee.
