Volume diagnosis plays an important role in the yield learning process. To get a high quality diagnosis result, patterns with high distinguish ability are essential. However, the test patterns used by volume diagnosis commonly have low distinguish ability to specific faults. In our experiments, we observe that on average, under automatic generated test patterns, faults in the same fan out free region (FFR) account for only 6% of all possible fault pairs, but their share in total indistinguishable faults is 70%, faults in different FFRs but with the same observation points account for 4% of all fault pairs, but their share in total indistinguishable faults is 22%. Exploiting this fact that faults in the same FFRs are harder to be distinguished, we propose an Automatic Diagnostic Pattern Generation (ADPG) method named Substantial Fault Pairs at-A-Time (SFPAT)-ADPG. By applying a transformed circuit and a new fault list to an existing Automatic Test Pattern Generation (ATPG) tool, we generate the compressed test patterns which are also the diagnostic patterns with high distinguish ability for the original circuit. Experiments on ISCAS'89 and ITC'99 benchmark circuits show the effectiveness of the proposed SFPAT-ADPG method.

This paper presents a floating-point fused multiply-add (FMA) unit with low-cost and low power techniques. To improve the performance, two single-precision operations can be performed concurrently with one double-precision datapath, which is very useful in multimedia and even scientific applications. Moreover, to reduce the additional area costs for supporting two single-precision operations in parallel, multiple double-precision units, i.e., the multiplier, shifter and adder, are reused as much as possible. A modified dual-path algorithm is proposed by classifying the exponent difference into three cases and implementing them with close and far paths, which can reduce latency and facilitate lowering power consumption by enabling only one of the two paths. In addition, in case of FADD instructions, the multiplier in the first stage is bypassed and kept in stable mode, which can significantly improve FADD instruction performance and lower power consumption. The overall FMA unit has a latency of 4 cycles while the FADD operation has 3 cycles. Each cycle has a time delay of about 0.66 ns in the ST 65 nm CMOS technology. Compared with the conventional double-precision FMA, about 13% delay is reduced and about 22% area is increased, which is acceptable since two single-precision results can be generated simultaneously.

We study the asymptotic throughput for random extended networks , where n ad hoc nodes are randomly deployed in a square region R ( n ) = 0 , n 2 . We directly consider the multicast throughput to unify the unicast and broadcast throughput, and design a new multicast scheme under the generalized physical model based on the so-called secondary highways system . Taking account of all possible cases of n s = ω (1) and 1 ⩽ n d ⩽ n − 1, we derive the achievable multicast throughput, where n s and n d denote the number of sessions and the number of destinations of each session. We prove that for some cases in terms of n s and n d , our scheme achieves better throughput than the existing schemes.

Protein classification plays an important role in the research in Bioinformatics. Many discriminative methods, including the SVM based algorithms are used to do this job. In order to use these methods, variable length protein sequences must be converted into fixed-length dimensional vectors. The current work presents a new method of converting sequences into vectors. The method first constructs profile sequences for each protein domain family, then the alignment values of every family profile sequence with a single protein sequence, is used as the protein's according vectors. Then classification algorithms are used to train and predict protein sequences involved. Experiments were presented to test the ability of the SVM algorithm and the LS_StaticEField algorithm to recognize previously unknown sequences via this converting method. Experimental results show that the converting method is good enough and that the LS_StaticEField algorithm is comparable with the SVM one.

Moore's law will grant computer architects ever more transistors for the foreseeable future, and the challenge is how to use them to deliver efficient performance and flexible programmability. We propose a many-core architecture, Godson- T, to attack this challenge. On the one hand, Godson-T features a region-based cache coherence protocol, asynchronous data transfer agents and hardware-supported synchronization mechanisms, to provide full potential for the high efficiency of the on-chip resource utilization. On the other hand, Godson-T features a highly efficient runtime system, a Pthreadslike programming model, and versatile parallel libraries, which make this many-core design flexibly programmable. This hardware/software cooperating design methodology bridges the high-end computing with mass programmers. Experimental evaluations are conducted on a cycle-accurate simulator of Godson-T. The results show that the proposed architecture has good scalability, fast synchronization, high computational efficiency, and flexible programmability.

In this paper, we investigate the axiomatic system of Modeling Simulation and Verification Language (MSVL). To this end, a set of state axioms and state inference rules is given. They are useful to deduce a program into its normal form. Further, a propositional projection temporal logic is used as assertion language to describe the required property of a program. Moreover, to deduce a program over an interval, a set of rules in terms of triple like Hoare logic is formalized. These rules enable us to deduce a program in its normal form at the current state to the next one and to verify safety, liveness properties over an interval.

Back-Propagation (BP) neural network, as one of the most mature and most widespread algorithms, has the ability of large scale computing and has unique advantages when dealing with nonlinear high dimensional data. But when we manipulate high dimensional data with BP neural network, many feature variables provide enough information, but too many network inputs go against designing of the hidden-layer of the network and take up plenty of storage space as well as computing time, and in the process interfere the convergence of the training network, even influence the the accuracy of recognition finally. Factor analysis (FA) is a multivariate analysis method which transforms many feature variables into few synthetic variables. Aiming at the characteristics that the samples processed have more feature variables, combining with the structure feature of BP neural network, a FA-BP neural network algorithm is proposed. Firstly we reduce the dimensionality of the feature factor using FA, and then regard the features reduced as the input of the BP neural network, carry on network training and simulation with low dimensional data that we get. This algorithm here can simplify the network structure, improve the velocity of convergence, and save the running time. Then we apply the new algorithm in the field of pest prediction to emulate. The results show that under the prediction precision is not reduced, the error of the prediction value is reduced by using the new algorithm, and therefore the algorithm is effective.

Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs), as a nonlinear and adaptive information processing systems, play an important role in machine learning, artificial intelligence, and data mining. But the performance of ANNs is sensitive to the number of neurons, and chieving a better network performance and simplifying the network topology are two competing objectives. While Genetic Algorithms (GAs) is a kind of random search algorithm which simulates the nature selection and evolution, which has the advantages of good global search abilities and learning the approximate optimal solution without the gradient information of the error functions. This paper makes a brief survey on ANNs optimization with GAs. Firstly, the basic principles of ANNs and GAs are introduced, by analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of GAs and ANNs, the superiority of using GAs to optimize ANNs is expressed. Secondly, we make a brief survey on the basic theories and algorithms of optimizing the network weights, optimizing the network architecture and optimizing the learning rules, and make a discussion on the latest research progresses. At last, we make a prospect on the development trend of the theory.
