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.

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.

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?cidƒ07&pid177 Food: Pizza and Soda RSVP: Requested - register below 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.

create Calagator::Event 1250458478 OEN Pub Talk- SplashCast- What Happened? Roll back

description nil Failure isn’t always a bad thing as long as you learn from it. SplashCast, launched in 2007, was originally founded around the notion of helping consumers put together videos, text, graphics and music embedded in broadcast "channels." Despite raising over $4 million in funding, SplashCast was unable to survive and closed its doors in 2009. Please join OEN for the April 14th PubTalk to hear what happened, and what the team learned from failure. You will hear from one of the Founders of SplashCast, as well as a few investors in the company. This panel discussion will highlight the positive moves the company made, as well as share some valuable lessons of what to avoid. Learning from their insights and knowledge will undoubtedly help you in your decision making processes so that your company may avoid the same pitfalls. Speakers: Tom Turnbull; Investors: Angela Jackson and Jon Karl; Moderator: Dave deFiebre Tom Turnbull Tom Turnbull is a lawyer and entrepreneur. He has worked in business development, product, and legal roles at three venture backed startups. Of the three startups, one was a success (Internet Brands, Inc. NASDAQ: INET), one a soft landing (BizBuyer.com), and the last a sad ending (SplashCast Media). Tom also headed up new media strategy and business development for the LA Times and business development for Knowledge Learning Corporation. Additionally, he was a consulting manager at Andersen and a transactional lawyer.

description nil If the first years of OSCON were about opening the minds of big business to the philosophy of open source, are the years ahead about opening the minds of the open source community to the possibilities of its future? As open source becomes fully integrated into the corporate environment, OSCON helps to define, maintain, and extend the identity of what it means to be open source. OSCON focuses on the substance of technology, not the shadow, filtering the information that most merits attention and preparing participants for curves and challenges in the coming year and beyond. OSCON is the place to be inspired and challenged, renew bonds to community, make new connections, and find ways to give back to the open source movement. OSCON has also become one of the most important places to make open source related announcements, and to unveil projects and products. Open source is a fundamental principle at the core of many established and emerging technologies, driving the future of the computer industry. OSCON explores the open source technologies that are here to stay, what will broaden the foundation, and what will lead the way to unexpected places and innovations. "For those who have not been to OSCON, it's a great technical conference covering the whole spectrum of open source, including Linux, MySQL, the LAMP stack, Perl, Python, Ruby on Rails, middleware, applications, cloud computing, and more. OSCON always has great keynotes, tutorials, and evening Birds-of-a-Feather sessions. As with many conferences, a lot of the meat takes place in hallway conversations and impromptu sessions." - Zack Urlocker, InfoWorld

A polyglot programming group meeting in the heart of The Beave. We seem to talk a lot about oddball programming languages and their features. And the usual geekery you'd expect from a programmer's group. This month we'll have a talk by David Hollingsworth on the Curl language (not to be confused with cUrl the commandline utility). Curl is a statically typed object-oriented language that JIT-runs in a browser plugin along with a large number of companion libraries and an IDE. Curl also has an internal tool for compiling to C, so Curl is >90% written in Curl. It is not related to the wget-like-library also called Curl. See http://www.curl.com for more. Some of the topics I can cover: * Why we (still) need a programming language for the Internet (and why Flash/JavaFX/Silverlight ain't it). * Mixing text and code: not the heresy XML advocates would have you believe. * Venture Capitalists ate my syntax: switching from Lisp-y Curl to C-y Curl. * Java Generics almost make me pine for C++ templates OR if {Array-of int} isn't a real type, your type system sucks. * Yes, Virginia, non-normalized Unicode means operations are O(n) (aka Strings are not really arrays of chars, but they're closer in Curl). * DSLs in Curl: source-to-source macros ala Lisp. * Refactoring is for wimps: a strong versioning mechanism partially mitigates the need for backwards-compatibility, but not entirely. * Plus the standard "ooh shiny" stuff.
