Adaptable and enhanced error correction codes for efficient error and defect tolerance in memories

Datta, Rudrajit 31 January 2012 (has links)
Ongoing technology improvements and feature size reduction have led to an increase in manufacturing-induced parameter variations. These variations affect various memory cell circuits, making them unreliable at low voltages. Memories are very dense structures that are especially susceptible to defects, and more so at lower voltages. Transient errors due to radiation, power supply noise, etc., can also cause bit-flips in a memory. To protect the data integrity of the memory, an error correcting code (ECC) is generally employed. Present ECC, however, is either single error correcting or corrects multiple errors at the cost of high redundancy or longer correction time. This research addresses the problem of memory reliability under adverse conditions. The goal is to achieve a desired reliability at reduced redundancy while also keeping in check the correction time. Several methods are proposed here including one that makes use of leftover spare columns/rows in memory arrays [Datta 09] and another one that uses memory characterization tests to customize ECC on a chip by chip basis [Datta 10]. The former demonstrates how reusing spare columns leftover from the memory repair process can help increase code reliability while keeping hardware overhead to a minimum. In the latter case customizing ECCs on a chip by chip basis shows considerable reduction in check bit overhead, at the same time providing a desired level of protection for low voltage operations. The customization is done with help from a defect map generated at manufacturing time, which helps identify potentially vulnerable cells at low voltage. An ECC based solution for tackling the wear out problem of phase change memories (PCM) has also been presented here. To handle the problem of gradual wear out and hence increasing defect rates in PCM systems an adaptive error correction scheme is proposed [Datta 11a]. The adaptive scheme, implemented alongside the operating system seeks to increase PCM lifetime by manifold times. Finally the work on memory ECC is extended by proposing a fast burst error correcting code with minimal overhead for handling scenarios where multi-bit failures are common [Datta 11b]. The twofold goal of this work – design a low-cost code capable of handling multi bit errors affecting adjacent cells, and fast multi bit error correction – is achieved by modifying conventional Orthogonal Latin Square codes into burst error codes. / text

Resource optimization for fault-tolerant quantum computing

Paetznick, Adam 13 December 2013 (has links)
Quantum computing offers the potential for efficiently solving otherwise classically difficult problems, with applications in material and drug design, cryptography, theoretical physics, number theory and more. However, quantum systems are notoriously fragile; interaction with the surrounding environment and lack of precise control constitute noise, which makes construction of a reliable quantum computer extremely challenging. Threshold theorems show that by adding enough redundancy, reliable and arbitrarily long quantum computation is possible so long as the amount of noise is relatively low---below a ``threshold'' value. The amount of redundancy required is reasonable in the asymptotic sense, but in absolute terms the resource overhead of existing protocols is enormous when compared to current experimental capabilities. In this thesis we examine a variety of techniques for reducing the resources required for fault-tolerant quantum computation. First, we show how to simplify universal encoded computation by using only transversal gates and standard error correction procedures, circumventing existing no-go theorems. The cost of certain error correction procedures is dominated by preparation of special ancillary states. We show how to simplify ancilla preparation, reducing the cost of error correction by more than a factor of four. Using this optimized ancilla preparation, we then develop improved techniques for proving rigorous lower bounds on the noise threshold. The techniques are specifically intended for analysis of relatively large codes such as the 23-qubit Golay code, for which we compute a lower bound on the threshold error rate of 0.132 percent per gate for depolarizing noise. This bound is the best known for any scheme. Additional overhead can be incurred because quantum algorithms must be translated into sequences of gates that are actually available in the quantum computer. In particular, arbitrary single-qubit rotations must be decomposed into a discrete set of fault-tolerant gates. We find that by using a special class of non-deterministic circuits, the cost of decomposition can be reduced by as much as a factor of four over state-of-the-art techniques, which typically use deterministic circuits. Finally, we examine global optimization of fault-tolerant quantum circuits. Physical connectivity constraints require that qubits are moved close together before they can interact, but such movement can cause data to lay idle, wasting time and space. We adapt techniques from VLSI in order to minimize time and space usage for computations in the surface code, and we develop a software prototype to demonstrate the potential savings.
