create Calagator::Event 1250458514 PDX TechCoffee Roll back

description nil → EPISODE #7! Get up early and work on your side projects with some like-minded geeks! TechCoffee is part running club, part knitting bee, and part hackathon. It's hard to work on all of your amazing ideas after a long workday, so instead we get up early. And we get together, so we have the reinforcement of other people up early, too. A couple hours a week can make a big difference. So bring your laptops and your work ethic to the 3rd weekly PDX TechCoffee. One commit a week is all we ask. NOTE: We've had some wifi problems in the past, so i recommend having what you need to work locally on your laptop before you come by.

description nil → Perkins & Company 1211 SW Fifth Ave, Suite 1000 Portland, OR 97204- While Oregon and Southwest Washington economies have endured huge recessionary turmoil, signs are beginning to indicate that it is time to think future, not past. Business owners and HR professionals now need to think longer term, with an emphasis on hiring the right individuals as they lay out a roadmap for ongoing success. With so many people looking for work, the question becomes, "How do I make the right choice or choices?" This seminar is designed to help you do just that!

description Electrogals 2010 - Call & Response All Women - All Electronic The concert will showcase female electronic music performers from Portland and the West Coast, featuring synthesists, sonic explorers, deep listeners, circuit benders, and beat manglers. The performances will cover a wide range of styles, from beat-heavy song forms to abstract noise-generated soundscapes. Some of the performances will also include the audience, in ways that will definitely surprise and delight - and no, there won't be any embarrassing sing-alongs. Probably. About the Electrogals series Although there is nothing inherently manly about creating or performing electronic music, the female electronic musician is something of a rare bird. Electrogals 2010 will be the fourth in this series of showcases for women who have immersed themselves in this art form. The first Electrogals show happened in 1995 at Mills College in Oakland, when composer Heather Perkins gathered a group of female electronic musicians for a show at the Mills Concert Hall. In 2004, Heather put on another Electrogals concert as part of the Sound/Craft music series at the Portland Museum of Contemporary Craft. In the spring of 2008, Heather Perkins, Mary Wright and Christi Denton put on an Electrogals concert at Holocene, filling both stages with an amazing lineup. All compositions for Electrogals 2010 will be written by Portland composer and performer Heather Perkins, and performed by an all-star roster of female electronic music performers. → Electrogals 2010 - Call & Response All Women - All Electronic The concert will showcase female electronic music performers from Portland and the West Coast, featuring synthesists, sonic explorers, deep listeners, circuit benders, and beat manglers.

description nil → EPISODE #6! Get up early and work on your side projects with some like-minded geeks! TechCoffee is part running club, part knitting bee, and part hackathon. It's hard to work on all of your amazing ideas after a long workday, so instead we get up early. And we get together, so we have the reinforcement of other people up early, too. A couple hours a week can make a big difference. So bring your laptops and your work ethic to the 3rd weekly PDX TechCoffee. One commit a week is all we ask. NOTE: We've had some wifi problems in the past, so i recommend having what you need to work locally on your laptop before you come by.

update Calagator::Event 1250458484 IEEE - The Impact of Resonant, Distributed, Frequency and Transmission Properties of Interconnects upon Nano-Scale VLSI Devices Reliability and Functionality Roll back

description Title: The Impact of Resonant, Distributed, Frequency and Transmission Properties of Interconnects upon Nano-Scale VLSI Devices Reliability and Functionality Speaker: Pavel Livshits, Bar Ilan University, Israel When: Wednesday, March 31, 2010, 5:30 – 7:00pm Where: Shiley Hall 124 Directions: See http://www.up.edu/about/default.aspx?cid�07&pid177 Food: Pizza and Soda RSVP: Requested - register at http://meetings.vtools.ieee.org/meeting_registration/register/1991 Pavel Livshits from Bar Ilan University, Israel will present some of the findings of his doctoral research. Abstract: Rapid development of Systems-on-a-Chip (SoC) over the last decade has set tougher signal integrity requirements for on-die signal and power distribution networks. At the same time, only a very few experimental works have been conducted to study the properties of on-die interconnects constituting these networks. In this talk, results obtained within the framework of our experimental study on global interconnects, constructed as transmission lines, that carry out on-die global signaling and on interconnects constituting power supply and ground grids, are presented. In the study we employed VLSI engineering samples typical for 90 nm and 45 nm CMOS technology nodes. We found that local voltage fluctuations in power supply and ground grids, excited by on-die logic cell switching have a resonant-like form. This finding resolves the discussed in literature controversy over the need for considering parasitic inductance i.e., the on-die power grids should be described as an RLC circuit. We experimentally observed and confirmed by modeling that the active element (i.e., CMOS logic cell) influences the frequency properties of power supply and ground grids during its switching (as opposed to before or after switching). Thus, it was shown that frequency properties of both grids are inter-related via the interconnecting active elements. In our experimental study was found that the impedance matching between CMOS driver and a driven transmission line, and the Ohmic losses of on-die transmission lines, implemented by standard metal layers of modern technology nodes, play an important role in circuits’ performance. The study suggests that impedance mismatch results in excessive power consumption and signal integrity problems. The high Ohmic losses result in a significant distortion and Inter-Symbol Interference of already a few hundreds Mega-Hertz signals. Our study reveals that relatively low but repetitive voltage oscillations on on-die power supply and ground grids, excited by logic cells switching, may lead not only to logic faults, as it has been regarded, but also to an accumulated damage of VLSI MOSFETs. Thus, according to Berkley Reliability Tools models simulations they accelerate the device degradation due to three main wearout mechanisms, such as Time-Dependent Dielectric Breakdown, Negative Bias Temperature Instability and Hot Carrier Injection. The similar device damage, as the study shows, is caused by the impedance mismatch induced distortions of signals supplied to input of on-die CMOS logic cells.

Our study reveals that relatively low but repetitive voltage oscillations on on-die power supply and ground grids, excited by logic cells switching, may lead not only to logic faults, as it has been regarded, but also to an accumulated damage of VLSI MOSFETs. Thus, according to Berkley Reliability Tools models simulations they accelerate the device degradation due to three main wearout mechanisms, such as Time-Dependent Dielectric Breakdown, Negative Bias Temperature Instability and Hot Carrier Injection. The similar device damage, as the study shows, is caused by the impedance mismatch induced distortions of signals supplied to input of on-die CMOS logic cells.
