Design, Automation & Test in Europe
DATE
Venue: Firenze,
Date: March 25-29, 2019
interactive presentations chair : PETROT F.
technical program committee : BARRAGAN M., MORIN-ALLORY K., VATAJELU E.I.
University Booth Co-Chair : VATAJELU E.I.
Summary: DATE is the top scientific event in Design, Automation, and Test of microelectronics and embedded systems for the academic and industrial research communities worldwide. It provides a unique networking opportunity, bringing together designers and design automation users, researchers and vendors, as well as specialists in hardware and software design, test and manufacturing of electronic circuits and systems.
In 2019, the conference will take place for the first time in Florence, Italy. Florence is the capital of Tuscany Region, centrally located and very easy to reach via an international airport hub. Art, culture, modernity and vibrancy: Florence is much more than the cradle of Renaissance. Vaunting an unparalleled past of incredible accomplishments, Florence is a contemporary city that offers year-round entertainment. Striking architecture and monuments, museums of masterpieces, as well as fashion, theatres, gardens, modern art exhibitions, excellent places to eat and drink, and an international flair that has always set this city apart. It is time to fall in love with Florence. It is situated on the plain of the Arno River between the hills that made this region famous, surrounded by towns, villages and enchanting landscapes. Due to its history, today Florence can offer a lot of astonishing venues like the Palazzo Pitti or Palazzo Vecchio, the Town Hall of Florence, many churches like the Basilica di Santa Croce, the Basilica di Santa Maria Novella and also some open-air museums such as Giardino delle Rose and Giardino di Boboli. Florence is also a modern destination that offers many opportunities for events and activities for guests. In 2019, all over Italy but particularly Florence and the nearby hometown Vinci will be celebrating the 500th anniversary of the death of the genius Leonardo da Vinci.
The five-day event covers the design process, test, and automation tools for electronics, ranging from integrated circuits to distributed embedded systems. The conference scope includes both hardware and embedded software design issues. It also includes the elaboration of design requirements and new architectures for challenging application fields such as internet of things, multimedia, healthcare, smart energy, and automotive systems.

Project: New Asynchronous Protocols for Enhancing Area and Throughput in Bundled-Data Pipelines
Authors: Jean SIMATIC (TIMA, CDSI), Abdelkarim CHERKAOUI (TIMA, CDSI), Rodrigo POSSAMAI-BASTOS (TIMA, CDSI) and Laurent FESQUET (TIMA, CDSI)
Abstract: This paper presents two new area-reduced controllers for bundled-data asynchronous pipelines in which the stages have long critical paths. The proposed protocols allow to reduce the number of required delay elements by using the falling edge of the asynchronous request to indicate data validity. For critical path lengths of 25 gates, the first presented scheme decreases the controller area by 48% and slightly increases the maximum throughput (2%) in comparison to a standard micropipeline implementation. The other more-concurrent scheme proposition leads to a 25% area reduction and a 40% improvement of the maximum pipeline throughput.

Title: "Modeling and operating temperature tuning of a thermally activated piezoelectric generator"
Authors: Adrian RENDON-HERNANDEZ and Skandar BASROUR
Abstract: This paper deals with the finite element model of a thermally activated piezoelectric generator. Furthermore, it presents an experimentally validated temperature tuning technique based on the gap distance of the triggering system. The working principle of proposed generator relies on the multi step thermal-to-mechanical-to-electrical energy conversion, overcoming inconveniences related to fast temporal temperatura variations and large temperature differences for efficient operating of classical direct thermal energy conversion. Performance optimization can be done in the form of temperature span tuning by changing the gap distance. By increasing this parameter, it is possible to maximize the Energy up to 10 times. Experimental data suggests that output energy up to 67 μW is possible when optimal gap distance is set. This corresponds to a power density of 103 μWcm-3
