CHIP MORPHING

Father of CHIP MORPHINGOn July 30, 2004 International Business Machines (IBM) introduced a new Technology Chip Morphing .

The objective of this seminars is to define a micro-architecture which can exhibit low power consumption without sacrificing high performance.

This will require a fundamental shift to the power-performance curve presented by traditional microprocessors.

The processor design must be flexible and reconfigurable at run-time so that it may present a series of configurations corresponding to different tradeoffs between performance and power consumption.

Introduction

PROCESSOR PERFORMANCE eFuse

Chip Morphing Technology deal with two important part

A processor must be capable of high performance.

Must consume low amounts of power. Must be able to adapt to changing

performance and power requirements at runtime.

PROCESSOR PERFORMANCEThese motivations point to three major objectives for a power conscious embedded processor.

eFUSE is part of a built-in self-repair system that constantly monitors a chip’s functionality.

It combines unique software algorithms and microscopic electrical fuses to produce chips that can regulate and adapt their own actions in response to changing conditions and system demands

eFUSE

The morphing technology also will optimize and tailor the performance and capabilities of a chip to meet an individual customer’s product needs in response to changing end-user or software demand. Customers further benefit from the versatility of eFUSE as the morphing can be repeated several times – even after the chip has been packaged and shipped in a product.

Applications

This phenomena has traditionally been detrimental to chip performance and was avoided — even at significant cost and effort.

IBM has perfected a technique that harnesses electromigration and uses it to program a fuse without damaging other parts of the chip.

Previous implementations of on-chip fuse technology in the industry often involved rupturing fuses, which had resulted in unwanted performance and reliability problems.
