The ability of partial reconfiguration of today's FPGAs allows the exchange of dynamic system components at runtime, which enables the realization of self-reconfigurable systems. To ease the design of a partially reconfigurable system this paper presents an integrated design flow for reconfigurable architectures. The design flow includes tools for system partitioning, floorplanning, and automatic generation of configuration data for the static and the dynamic system components. Furthermore, the design flow comprises the implementation of a homogeneous on-chip communication infrastructure, which is used to interconnect the dynamic system components placed at run-time. For the design of such an on-chip communication infrastructure a layer model is introduced, which divides the communication into five different layers of abstraction. As an example a communication infrastructure is realized on a Xilinx Virtex-2 FPGA based on the Wishbone protocol. A tristate-based and a slice-based implementation are presented and analyzed with respect to efficiency.

Two subharmonic receivers for 245 GHz sprectroscopy sensor applications in the 245 GHz ISM band have been proposed. One receiver consists of an 2nd APDP (antiparallel diode pair) passive SHM (subharmonic mixer), a 120 GHz push-push VCO with 1/64 divider, and a 120 GHz PA (power amplifier). The other consists of a single-ended four-stage CB (common base) LNA, an 2nd APDP passive SHM, an IF amplifier, a 120 GHz push-push VCO with 1/64 divider, and a 120 GHz PA. The receivers are fabricated in a SiGe:C BiCMOS technology with f_T/f_(max)=300/500 GHz. The measured conversion gain are -17 dB rsp. 10.6 dB at 245 GHz with 3-dB bandwidths of 13 GHz rsp. 14 GHz, and the single-side band noise figure are 17 dB rsp. 20 dB;the two receivers dissipates a power of 213 mW and 312 mW, respectively.

Thermal transport across material interfaces is a critical factor in the thermal management and overall performance of integrated circuits (ICs). We investigate the angle- and mode-dependent phonon transmission across GaN/AlN interfaces, examining both smooth and rough morphologies. For smooth interface, phonon transmission is strongly influenced by the incident angle, with a critical angle (∼44.4°) limiting transverse mode transmission. Notably, longitudinal acoustic (LA) phonons exhibit anomalous behavior at high incident angles due to mode conversion, forming hybrid modes via coupling with optical phonons. At rough interface, diffuse scattering significantly alters transmission characteristics, enabling additional transport channels and enhancing transverse mode transmission. Frequency-dependent effects reveal a transition to complete diffuse scattering, with energy redistribution across acoustic and optical modes, highlighting acoustic-to-optical conversion. Our decomposition of transmission coefficients quantifies mode-specific contributions, revealing that mode conversion enhances the interfacial thermal conductance (ITC) by ∼10 %. Additionally, we quantify the interface specularity parameter, identifying polarization- and wavelength-dependent deviations from the Ziman model. These findings provide insight into optimizing ITC through interface engineering and phonon dynamics.

Nonnegative tensor decomposition has become increasingly important for multiway data analysis in recent years. The alternating proximal gradient(APG) is a popular optimization method for nonnegative tensor decomposition in the block coordinate descent framework. In this study, we propose an inexact version of the APG algorithm for nonnegative CANDECOMP/PARAFAC decomposition, wherein each factor matrix is updated by only finite inner iterations. We also propose a parameter warm-start method that can avoid the frequent parameter resetting of conventional APG methods and improve convergence *** experimental tests, we find that when the number of inner iterations is limited to around 10 to 20, the convergence speed is accelerated significantly without losing its low relative error. We evaluate our method on both synthetic and real-world *** results demonstrate that the proposed inexact APG algorithm exhibits outstanding performance on both convergence speed and computational precision compared with existing popular algorithms.
