Abstract: A system and method for simulating an electronic circuit is disclosed. The method includes creating a finite set of circuit or device parameter points selected from within an n-dimensional parameter space. The method includes determining, for each circuit or device parameter point of the set, a corresponding response value of the performance metric and a corresponding probability of occurrence. The method includes determining, for a predetermined value of the performance metric, the total probability of occurrence.

Abstract: A localized smart energy management system comprises a plurality of controllable loads, at least one intermittent energy source, a selectively connectable dispatchable energy source, and optionally an energy storage system. A method for balancing power production and power consumption of such localized smart energy management systems in real time comprises performing a coarse-grained optimization in a first layer of a hierarchical optimization structure to generate a predicted schedule, based on long-term load demand profiles and long-term power generation profiles. A second layer iteratively refines the predicted schedule upon receiving a new forecast of a short-term power generation profile for the at least one intermittent energy source.

Abstract: A method and hardware system for mapping an input map of a convolutional neural network layer to an output map are disclosed. An array of processing elements are interconnected to support unidirectional dataflows through the array along at least three different spatial directions. Each processing element is adapted to combine values of dataflows along different spatial directions into a new value for at least one of the supported dataflows. For each data entry in the output map, a plurality of products from pairs of weights of a selected convolution kernel and selected data entries in the input map is provided and arranged into a plurality of associated partial sums. Products associated with a same partial sum are accumulated on the array and accumulated on the array into at least one data entry in the output map.

Abstract: A system and method of simulating device aging based on a digital waveform representative of a workload of an electronic device are disclosed. In one aspect, the method comprises grouping contiguous sets of cycles into segments, each set corresponding to a segment. Each segment has values for a combination of segment parameters that are unique from each of the other segments and a start point that is separated from a start point of an adjacent segment by a pre-defined distance criterion. Grouping the sets into the segments comprises, for each segment: sampling one or more sequential cycles of the workload, generating the segment based on the sampled contiguous cycles having a period exceeding a threshold period, and determining the values for the combination of segment parameters. The method further comprises applying an aging model to the segments to simulate the aging. The segments are a representation of the digital waveform.

Abstract: A plasmonic device comprising an odd number of at least three input waveguides and at least one output waveguide is disclosed. In one aspect, the waveguides are adapted for guiding a surface plasmon polariton wave and the input waveguides are connected to the output waveguide at a waveguide junction. The inserted SPP waves have a phase at the waveguide junction which is either a first phase or a second phase. The second phase is shifted over π with regard to the first phase and a combined SPP wave at the waveguide junction has a resulting phase wherein the dimensions of the waveguides are such that for different combinations of phases of the inserted waves the combined waves are phase aligned.
