Abstract

The last decade's market has been characterized by wearable devices, mainly smartwatches, edge, and cloud computing. A possible application of these technologies is to improve the safety of dangerous activities, especially driving motor vehicles. Common enabling technologies, such as system-on-chip, ultra-low-power computational platforms, and wide-band wireless connectivity, push all these trends. On the one hand, wearable devices, thanks to the continuous contact with the user's body, can measure physiological parameters. On the other hand, edge computing and machine learning techniques, alongside cameras, allow the implementation of contactless computer vision systems capable of providing information about the user's current behavior. Another trend is the usage of RADARs in automotive applications, both for collision avoidance and monitoring driver behavior. These technologies can be combined to develop systems designed to aid the driver. For the sake of this paper, we are focusing on warning drivers, allowing them to know whenever they are drowsy and hence risking a sleep onset or are not paying attention to the road. Developing such systems poses many challenges, such as automatic classification of physiological signal patterns, facial expression recognition, head movements and eye gaze detection. These challenges have been individually addressed in the literature. Anyway, we noticed a need for more description on implementing data fusion. Two main reasons for adopting the fusion approach are to improve the quality of the overall representation (increasing accuracy and specificity against drowsy) and make a more reliable system due to redundancy.

Beyond HBM-on-GPU: Thermal Design Envelope for 3D Volumetric DRAM-on-GPU Integration

The scaling of GPUs for AI and HPC workloads is increasingly constrained by the capacity, bandwidth, and thermal limits of both 2.5D HBM-GPU and direct-stacked 3D HBM-on-GPU integration. This work establishes the thermal design envelope for 3D volumetric DRAM-on-GPU integration, in which vertically oriented DRAM dies and interleaved cooling cavities reshape heat flow and memory interfacing above the GPU. Using a package-level thermal model anchored to a consistent HBM-on-GPU baseline and driven by a realistic reticle-scale non-uniform GPU power map, we quantify the key parameters governing thermal feasibility. Stack height is the dominant limiter of peak temperature, while cooling-cavity conductivity shifts the feasible region, and mold insertion and stack orientation further modulate thermal behavior. A distributed memory-controller and network-on-chip tier introduces only a moderate thermal penalty. Although die-level parallelism increases bandwidth, the reduction in simulated training time saturates once execution becomes compute-bound. These results define a bounded co-design space across bandwidth, capacity, and thermal constraints for 3D volumetric DRAM-on-GPU integration.

Droop-Aware Foundation Model Power Flow

This paper develops a droop-aware extension of the GridFM power systems foundation model, embedding droop gains and frequency/voltage deadband parameters as per-bus node features to enable control-aware AC power-flow analysis. Existing power-flow datasets encode only static electrical features, conflating operating points from qualitatively different control regimes; this work resolves that gap by exposing droop and deadband parameters as structured node features, with deadband discontinuities handled through a smooth tanh approximation that preserves solver differentiability. A transformer-based graph neural network is pre-trained on masked reconstruction and fine-tuned on the resulting control-aware datasets. The framework is validated against PSCAD electromagnetic-transient simulations on a two-bus system (0.11% maximum steady-state error) and cross-validated against an independent PyPower droop solver on the IEEE 24-bus RTS. On the 24-bus system the surrogate attains R2 = 0.9996 for active generation and 0.0015 p.u. voltage-magnitude RMSE; scalability is confirmed on the IEEE 300-bus system (0.0036 p.u. RMSE, R2 = 0.9841 for voltage magnitude across 299,700 predictions). A three-mode control study further shows that the deadband widens the control-error distribution while leaving total droop compensation unchanged, establishing deadband width as an actionable node-level design feature.

GNN-based Path-aware multi-view Circuit Learning for Technology Mapping

Traditional technology mapping suffers from systemic inaccuracies in delay estimation due to its reliance on abstract, technology-agnostic delay models that fail to capture the nuanced timing behavior behavior of real post-mapping circuits. To address this fundamental limitation, we introduce GPA(graph neural network (GNN)-based Path-Aware multi-view circuit learning), a novel GNN framework that learns precise, data-driven delay predictions by synergistically fusing three complementary views of circuit structure: And-Inverter Graphs (AIGs)-based functional encoding, post-mapping technology emphasizes critical timing paths. Trained exclusively on real cell delays extracted from critical paths of industrial-grade post-mapping netlists, GPA learns to classify cut delays with unprecedented accuracy, directly informing smarter mapping decisions. Evaluated on the 19 EPFL combinational benchmarks, GPA achieves 19.9%, 2.1% and 4.1% average delay reduction over the conventional heuristics methods (techmap, MCH) and the prior state-of-the-art ML-based approach SLAP, respectively-without compromising area efficiency.
