In this paper, space charge in a multi-layer oil-paper insulation system was investigated using the pulsed electroacoustic (PEA) technique. A series of measurements had been carried following subjection of the insulation system to different applied voltages and different temperatures. Charge behaviours in the insulation system were analyzed and the influence of temperature on charge dynamics was discussed. The test results shows that homocharge injection takes place under all the test conditions, the applied DC voltage mainly affects the amount of space charge, while the temperature has greater influence on the distribution and mobility of space charge inside oil-paper samples.

Large test data volume and high test power are two of the major concerns for the industry when testing large integrated circuits. With given test cubes in scan-based testing, the "don't-care" bits can be exploited for test data compression and/or test power reduction. Prior work either targets only one of these two issues or considers to reduce test data volume and scan shift power together. In this paper, we propose a novel capture power-aware test compression scheme that is able to keep scan capture power under a safe limit with little loss in test compression ratio. Experimental results on benchmark circuits demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed approach.

In scan-based tests, power consumptions in both shift and capture phases may be significantly higher than that in normal mode, which threatens circuits' reliability during manufacturing test. In this paper, by analyzing the impact of X-bits on circuit switching activities, we present an X-filling technique that can decrease both shift- and capture-power to guarantees the reliability of scan tests, called iFill. Moreover, different from prior work on X-filling for shift-power reduction which can only reduce shift-in power, iFill is able to decrease power consumptions during both shift-in and shift-out. Experimental results on ISCAS'89 benchmark circuits show the effectiveness of the proposed technique.

Location consistency (LC) is a weak memory consistency model which is defined entirely on partial order execution semantics of parallel programs. Compared with sequential consistency (SC), LC is scalable and provides ample theoretical parallelism. This makes LC an interesting memory model in the upcoming many-core parallel processing era. Previous work has pointed out that LC does not guarantee SC execution behavior for all data race free programs. In this paper, we compare the semantics of LC with PRAM consistency and memory coherence, and prove that LC is strictly weaker than PRAM consistency. For data race free programs, we prove that the semantics of LC is equivalent to memory coherence. In addition, by introducing memory ordering semantics into LC judiciously, we prove that the enhanced model is equivalent to SC for data race free programs. Finally, we discuss possible solutions for adding reasoning rules for LC-like weak memory models.

The continuing shrinking of technology enables more and more processor cores to reside on a single chip. However, the power consumption and delay of global wires have presented a great challenge in designing future chip multiprocessors. With these overheads of wires properly accounted for, researchers have explored some efficient on- chip network designs in the domain of larger scale caches. While in the paper, we attempt to reduce the interconnect power consumption with a novel cache coherence protocol. Conventional coherence protocols are kept independent from underlying networks for flexibility reasons. But in CMPs, processor cores and the on-chip network are tightly integrated. Exposing features of interconnect networks to protocols will unveil some optimization opportunities for power reduction. Specifically, by utilizing the location information of cores on a chip, the coherence protocol we propose in this work chooses to response the requester with the data copy in the closest sharer of the desired cache line, other than fetching it from distant L2 cache banks. This mechanism reduces the hops cache lines must travel and eliminates the power that would have incurred on the corresponding not-traveled links. To get accurate and detailed power information of interconnects, we extract wire power parameters by physical level simulation (HSPICE) and obtain router power by synthesizing RTL with actual ASIC libraries. We conduct experiments on a 16-core CMP simulator with a group of SPLASH2 benchmarks. The results demonstrate that an average of 16.3% L2 cache accesses could be optimized, resulting in an average 9.3% power reduction of data links with 19.2% as the most. This mechanism also yields a performance speedup of 1.4%.
Power consumption in scan-based testing is a major concern nowadays. In this paper, we present a new X-filling technique to reduce both shift power and capture power during scan tests, namely LSC-filling. The basic id...

The strong magnetic fields generated by reactors, which not only interfere other electric equipments' regularly running, but also are potentially harmful to substation employees' health, are the main electromagnetic contamination in substations. In this paper, a mixed finite-element (FE) model for dry-type air-core reactor, which considers the effect of eddy current, is proposed for calculation of magnetic fields. According to the analysis of this model, 7 times of the air-core reactor group region is suitable for calculation region. Based on this model, the magnetic fields distribution of equilateral triangle arranged 35kV reactor group in 500kV substation is calculated. The comparison between calculation results and measured values shows that the mixed FE model may accurately assess the magnetic field distribution around air-core reactors and provide theoretical basis for installation of air-core reactors for power department. Besides, based on the magnetic field distribution around air-core reactors, an early-warning mechanism can be established, which can provide safeguard for other electronic equipments running and the substation employees working.
