Co-Optimization of Power Delivery Network Design for 3-D Heterogeneous Integration of RRAM-Based Compute In-Memory Accelerators by Madison Manley, James Read, Ankit Kaul, Shimeng Yu, Muhannad Bakir

“…We quantify steady-state IR-drop impacts in 3D-HI CIM architectures using a framework that combines PDN modeling, 3D-HI power, performance, area estimation, and behavioral modeling. We demonstrate that a drop in supply voltage to CIM arrays increases sensitivity to process, voltage, and temperature (PVT) noise. …”

The sexually dimorphic expression of glutamate transporters and their implication in pain after spinal cord injury by Jennifer M. Colón-Mercado, Aranza I. Torrado-Tapias, Iris K. Salgado, José M. Santiago, Samuel E. Ocasio Rivera, Dina P. Bracho-Rincon, Luis H. Pagan Rivera, Jorge D. Miranda

“…Analyses of peptidergic (calcitonin gene-related peptide-α) and non-peptidergic (isolectin B4) fibers outgrowth in the dorsal horn after spinal cord injury showed an increased calcitonin gene-related peptide-α/ isolectin B4 ratio in comparison with sham, suggesting increased receptive fields in the dorsal horn. Although the behavioral assay shows decreased allodynia in tamoxifen-treated female rats, this was not associated with overexpression of glutamate transporters or alterations in the dorsal horn laminae fibers at 28 days post-injury. …”
