Work has already been done on a canonical and graph-based representation called Taylor expansion diagram (TED). Although TED can effectively be used to represent arithmetic expressions at the word-level, it is not memory efficient in representing bit-level logic expressions. In addition, TED cannot represent Boolean expressions at the word-level (vector-level). In this paper, we present modifications to TED that will improve its ability for bit-level logic representation while enhancing its robustness to represent word-level Boolean expressions. It will be shown that for bit-level logic expressions, the enhanced TED (ETED) performs the same as the BDD representation.","PeriodicalId":143886,"journal":{"name":"21st International Conference on VLSI Design (VLSID 2008)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-01-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115780981","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the average dynamic power of a circuit optimized by deterministic glitch elimination (using hazard filtering and path balancing) increases because glitches randomly start reappearing under the influence of process variation. Combining existing techniques, we propose a new statistical mixed integer linear programming (MILP) formulation, which combines glitch elimination and dual-threshold design to statistically minimize the total power in a glitch-free circuit under process variation.","PeriodicalId":143886,"journal":{"name":"21st International Conference on VLSI Design (VLSID 2008)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-01-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114496721","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Such evaluations help system designers in taking early design decisions regarding the hardware architecture most suitable for the target application. Simulation based performance evaluations, although very accurate, can be prohibitively slower. In this paper, we present a novel hybrid approach consisting of an initial simulation run (one time) followed by analysis of intermediate level (IR) application code by an evaluation engine. Our results show that the evaluation engine can accurately (more than 95%) estimate the excecution cycles of application or application task on a given customized embedded processor while it is at least an order of magnitude faster in terms of time taken.","PeriodicalId":143886,"journal":{"name":"21st International Conference on VLSI Design (VLSID 2008)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-01-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127201896","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Larger amounts of flexibility need to be built in and the same processor needs to be used for a wide range of evolving products, while very strict energy constraints need to be met in order to provide a long battery life. Coarse Grained Reconflgurable Architectures (CGRAs) provide a mix of flexible computational resources and large amounts of programmable interconnect. However, this programmable interconnect is on average consuming about 50% of the core's energy consumpion for state of the art interconnection topologies. In this work we present an optimized interconnection implementation that selectively activates only the connections that are being used in a certain cycle, in order to reduce the energy spent in the interconnect. Using this optimization, we show the effect on the energy and performance trade-off for the ADRES CGRA. The energy cost of the optimized interconnect topologies that provide a higher performance can be reduced significantly, reducing the total energy consumption of the core with up to 40%. This will enable designers to develop more efficient architectures, tuned to a targeted application domain.","PeriodicalId":143886,"journal":{"name":"21st International Conference on VLSI Design (VLSID 2008)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-01-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127176101","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The SPIHT uses inherent redundancy among wavelet coefficients and suited for both gray and color images. The SPIHT algorithm uses dynamic data structures which hinders hardware realization. In our FPGA implementation we have modified basic SPIHT in two ways, one by using static (fixed) mappings which represent significant information and the other by interchanging the sorting and refinement passes. A hardware realization is done in a Xilinx XC2S30 device. Significant compression ratio and throughput is obtained for a sample image of size 128 times 128 pixels.","PeriodicalId":143886,"journal":{"name":"21st International Conference on VLSI Design (VLSID 2008)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-01-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120887916","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, nonfunctional operation during test application may result in switching activity that is significantly higher than under functional operation. This may lead to unnecessary yield loss due to supply voltage droops that slow the circuit but will not occur during functional operation. To address this issue we describe a DFT approach and a test generation procedure that improve the fault coverage by slowing down the state transitions of certain state variables relative to others. Unlike approaches that are based on holding values of state variables stable for unlimited numbers of clock cycles, the proposed approach resumes functional operation every limited number of clock cycles. This is shown to result in maximum switching activity that is in most cases lower than that obtained under the application of a functional test sequence, and never needs to exceed it.","PeriodicalId":143886,"journal":{"name":"21st International Conference on VLSI Design (VLSID 2008)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-01-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131039650","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
