ABSTRACT

In the context of Internet of Thins, applications are mainly sporadic and operating conditions such as the energy budget might be extreme. Power consumption reduction allows to improve the lifetime of embedded platforms or to integrate enhanced features. This PhD subject thus tackles the design of a memory component which would be able to compute complex calculations directly within the memory. This would highly reduce data exchanges with the processor and reduce the associated power consumption. The computing memory component will be designed using asynchronous logic, which provides a natural solution for IoT applications and brings strong physical implementation opportunities to further reduce the power consumption. Architecture development, validation though digital simulations, physical implementation and characterization of the component’s performances are the main steps of the PhD contributions. Fabricating a chip which integrates the proposed ideas would allow to demonstrate the quality of the chosen approach in a realistic context.
