In this paper, the propagation of Single Event Transients (SETs) through standard combinational gates is inves-tigated with electrical simulations. It was shown that significant SET broadening may occur across short combinational paths. By fitting the simulation results, a predictive model for estimating the SET pulse broadening and shrinking caused by individual logic gates has been derived. The proposed model estimates the propagated SET pulse width in terms of gate’s driving strength, load capacitance, supply voltage and temperature. The model was verified on selected short combinational paths, and the rela-tive error with respect to simulations was less than 12%.

Intent driven networking holds the promise of simplifying network operations by allowing operators to use declarative, instead of imperative, interfaces. Adoption of this technology for 5G and beyond networks is however still in its infancy, where the required architectures, platforms, interfaces and algorithms are still being discussed. In this work, we present the design and implementation of a novel intent based platform for private 5G networks powered by a Natural Language Processing (NLP) interface. We demonstrate how our platform simplifies network operations in three relevant private network use cases, including: i) an intent based slice provisioning use case, ii) an intent based positioning use case, and iii) an intent based service deployment use case. Finally, all use cases are benchmarked in terms of intent provisioning time.

Resistive random access memory (RRAM)-based hardware accelerators are playing an important role in the implementation of in-memory computing systems for artificial intelligence applications. RRAM technology enables parallel vector-matrix multiplication (VMM) operations performed during the inference phase of artificial neural networks, setting the resistive state of the devices as synaptic weights within the neural network. The stochastic nature of such technology must be taken into consideration in order to minimize the accuracy degradation due to undesirable resistive changes after a certain number of operations. In this study, we program two different RRAM sub-arrays composed by 8-by-8 one-transistor-one resistor (1T1R) cells following two different distributions of conductive levels and we analyze their robustness during 1000 consecutive VMM operations. The resistance of the devices under study is monitored during the whole experiment and we could observe different resistive drift/relaxation phenomena that degrades the accuracy of the operations. The trade-off between linearly distributing the resistive states of the RRAM cells and their robustness against nonidealities is evaluated in both, analog and digital domain for future implementation of in-memory computing hardware systems.

Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have revolutionized many applications in recent years, especially in image classification, video processing, and pattern recognition. This success of CNNs has been a motivating factor for solving even more complex problems involving multiple data modalities. Traditionally, a single CNN accelerator has been optimized for just one task or has been used to perform correlated tasks. We leverage the CNNs capability to learn patterns and use one accelerator to perform multiple uncorrelated tasks from different modalities and achieve an average accuracy above 90%, which would otherwise require three accelerators. Two types of CNN architectures (i.e., fused and branched) are evaluated for three distinct tasks based on accuracy, quantization, pruning, hardware resource utilization, power, and latency. Capitalizing on this, we have further proposed a runtime reconfigurable CNN accelerator supporting fault-tolerant (FT), high-performance (HP), and de-stress (DS) modes.

Developments in radio detection and ranging (radar) technology have made hand gesture recognition feasible. In heat map-based gesture recognition, feature images have a large size and require complex neural networks to extract information. Machine learning methods typically require large amounts of data and collecting hand gestures with radar is time- and energy-consuming. Therefore, a low computational complexity algorithm for hand gesture recognition based on a frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) radar and a synthetic hand gesture feature generator are proposed. In the low computational complexity algorithm, two-dimensional Fast Fourier Transform is implemented on the radar raw data to generate a range-Doppler matrix. After that, background modelling is applied to separate the dynamic object and the static background. Then a bin with the highest magnitude in the range-Doppler matrix is selected to locate the target and obtain its range and velocity. The bins at this location along the dimension of the antenna can be utilised to calculate the angle of the target using Fourier beam steering. In the synthetic generator, the Blender software is used to generate different hand gestures and trajectories and then the range, velocity and angle of targets are extracted directly from the trajectory. The experimental results demonstrate that the average recognition accuracy of the model on the test set can reach 89.13% when the synthetic data are used as the training set and the real data are used as the test set. This indicates that the generation of synthetic data can make a meaningful contribution in the pre-training phase
