CISE Ph.D. student Yuanwen Huang and his advisor Prabhat Mishra won the Best Paper Award at the IEEE International Symposium on Quality Electronic Design (ISQED 2016) for their paper entitled “Reliability and Energy-aware Cache Reconfiguration for Embedded Systems.” This paper has developed optimization techniques to balance conflicting design constraints such as energy and reliability. Cache vulnerability due to soft errors is one […]

We live in a world where massive amounts of data are currently available to us. In 2013, the size of the digital universe was estimated to be near 5 zettabytes (1 zettabyte = 1 million terabytes) and is expected to quadruple by 2020. Like the physical world, the information in it is diverse – created […]
