The European funded REALITY project has concluded its work after 30months. The project focused on developing what it termed 'industrially relevant innovative design techniques, methods and flows for the design and analysis of energy efficient self adaptive SoCs'.
In particular, the project addressed the task of benchmarking the impact of the 32nm cmos process manufacturing variability at all abstraction levels, while developing approaches to compensate their negative impact in the design of final products.
Amongst the findings of the six company project were that metal granularities in 32nm high K metal gate cmos transistors can double the variability if their size becomes similar to that of the transistors.

A spin out company from Glasgow University hopes that it can help in the design of next generation chips. According to Gold Standard Simulations (GSS), it will help designers to model how circuits built from variable and unreliable nanoscale transistors are likely to perform.
The company was created by Professor Asen Asenov, pictured, a leading device modelling expert. He said: "GSS is offering a world leading simulation service to chip developers and manufacturers. The University of Glasgow is at the forefront of this technology."
