This paper presents a high-yielding backside power delivery (BPD) technology, PowerVia, implemented on Intel 4 finFET process. PowerVia more directly integrates to the transistor as compared published buried rail schemes, enabling additional wiring resources front side for signal routing. A fabricated E-core with $\gt 90$% cell utilization showed 30$% platform voltage droop improvement and 6% frequency benefit similar design without PowerVia. Transistor performance, reliability, fault...
Unlike traditional graph-based linear dynamics, where agents exchange opinions with their neighbors in a static social graph regardless of differences opinions, the bounded confidence opinion dynamics models between similar opinions. We generalize model by incorporating pairwise stochastic interactions, probabilistic influencing based on and self or endogenous evolutions agent which are represented random processes. The exchanges resulting from have contraction effects, whereas motions an...
We study the information-theoretic limit of reliable information processing by a server with queue-length dependent quality service. define capacity for such system as number bits reliably processed per unit time, and characterize it in terms queuing parameters. also distributions arrival service processes that maximize minimize systems discrete-time setting. For at most one time slot, we observed minimum around memoryless distribution. studied case multiple arrivals burstiness has adverse...

Traditional models in opinion dynamics involve agents updating their opinions based on the of neighbors a static social-graph, regardless differences opinions. In contrast, bounded confidence does not presume interaction graph, and instead interactions between those that share similar (i.e., are close to one another, capturing online discussion groups conventional meetings). We generalize model by incorporating pairwise stochastic as well self or endogenous evolution agent opinions, which is...
We consider a setting where qubits are processed sequentially, and derive fundamental limits on the rate at which classical information can be transmitted using quantum states that decohere in time. Specifically, we model sequential processing of single server queue, explicit expressions for capacity such `queue-channel.' also demonstrate sweet-spot phenomenon with respect to arrival i.e., show there exists value transmission (in bits/sec) through queue-channel is maximised. Next, average...
Due to the unprecedented success of deep neural networks in inference tasks like speech and image recognition, there has been increasing interest using them mobile in-sensor applications. As most current are very large size, a major challenge lies storing network devices with limited memory. Consequently is growing compressing by quantizing synaptic weights, but prior work heuristic lacking theoretical foundations. Here we develop an approach functional high-rate quantization theory.

Crowdsourcing of jobs to online freelance markets is rapidly gaining popularity. Most crowdsourcing platforms are uncontrolled and offer freedom customers freelancers choose each other. This works well for unskilled (e.g., image classification) with no specific quality requirement since functionally identical. For skilled software development) requirements, however, this does not ensure the maximum number job requests satisfied. In work we determine capacity markets, in terms satisfied...
In a vast body of opinion dynamics literature, an agent updates its based on the opinions neighbors in static social graph, regardless their differences opinions. contrast, bounded confidence does not presume interaction and instead limits interactions to those agents that share related (i.e., whose are close one another). We generalize model by incorporating stochastic endogenous evolution opinions, which itself is random process. analytically characterize conditions under this stable...

In this work, we investigate the performance of message-passing LDPC decoders presence We prove concentration and convergence theorems that validate use density evolution analysis. Arbitrarily small error probability is not possible with connections, but find...
We consider a queue-channel model that captures the waiting time-dependent degradation of information bits as they wait to be transmitted. Such scenario arises naturally in quantum communications, where tend decohere rapidly. Trailing capacity results obtained recently for certain queue-channels, this paper aims construct practical channel codes erasure (EQC)—a characterized by highly correlated erasures, governed underlying queuing dynamics. Our main contributions are twofold: (i) propose...

Specifically, we model sequential processing single server queue, and expressions for capacity such quantum `queue-channel.' Focusing erasures, obtain an explicit single-letter formula in terms stationary waiting time queue. Our proof also implies `classical' coding/decoding strategy...
