The aim of our project is to develop a new reconfigurable LSI with low power, high performance and high soft-error tolerance for real-world intelligent systems, big-data applications and infrastructure applications. For state-of-art process technologies with smaller feature sizes, 3-D integration and an ultra low supply voltage, we develop synchronous/asynchronous hybrid circuits with autonomous supply-voltage control, MRAM-based nonvolatile logic circuits for low stand-by leakage power and high soft-error tolerance, and high-level design tools that allow us to exploit easily reconfigurable LSI applications using these advanced circuit technologies.
