We propose a new a technique, based on register-transfer paths, that can be used for efficiently dismantling basic block DAGs (Directed Acyclic Graphs) into expression trees. This approach builds on recent results which report optimal code generation algorithm for expression trees for these architectures. This technique has been implemented and experimentally validated for the TMS320C25, a popular fixed point DSP processor. The results show that good code quality can be obtained using the proposed technique. An analysis of the type of DAGs found in the DSPstone benchmark programs reveals that the majority of basic blocks in this benchmark set are expression trees and leaf DAGs. This leads to our claim that tree based algorithms, like the one described in this paper, should be the technique of choice for basic blocks code generation with heterogeneous memory register architectures.","PeriodicalId":152966,"journal":{"name":"33rd Design Automation Conference Proceedings, 1996","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115328805","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}

Unlike existing, inhouse and off-the-shelf hardware/software co-simulators, which use interpretive processor simulation, the proposed technique performs instruction decoding and simulation scheduling at compile time. The technique offers up to three orders of magnitude faster simulation. The high speed allows the user to explore algorithms and hardware/software trade-offs before any hardware implementation. In this paper, the sources of the speedup and the limitations of the technique are analyzed and the realization of the simulation compiler is presented.","PeriodicalId":152966,"journal":{"name":"33rd Design Automation Conference Proceedings, 1996","volume":"390 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124559578","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}

In this paper we show the limitations of the existing definitions of sequential redundancy and introduce a new concept of c-cycle redundancy as a generalization of the conventional notion of sequential redundancy. We present an efficient algorithm, FIRES, to identify c-cycle redundancies without search. FIRES does not assume the existence of a global reset nor does it require any state transition information. FIRES has provably polynomial-time complexity and is practical for large circuits. Experimental results on benchmark circuits indicate that FIRES identifies a large number of redundancies. We show that, in general, the redundant faults identified by FIRES are not easy targets for state-of-the-art sequential rest generators.","PeriodicalId":152966,"journal":{"name":"33rd Design Automation Conference Proceedings, 1996","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129390680","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}

Unfortunately, successful compiler techniques which map high-level language data constructs to the addressing units of the architecture have lagged far behind. Since access to data is often the most demanding task in DSP, this mapping can be the most crucial function of the compiler. This paper introduces a new retargetable approach and prototype tool for the analysis of array references and traversals for efficient use of ACUs. The ArrSyn utility is designed to be used either as an enhancement to an existing dedicated compiler or as an aid for architecture exploration.","PeriodicalId":152966,"journal":{"name":"33rd Design Automation Conference Proceedings, 1996","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129847313","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 effect of proximity of input transitions can be significant on the delay and output transition time. The few attempts that have addressed this issue are based on a series-parallel transistor collapsing method that reduces the multi-input gate to an inverter. This limits the technique to CMOS technology. Moreover, none of them discuss the appropriate choice of voltage thresholds to measure delay for a multi-input gate. In this paper, we first present a method for the choice of voltage thresholds for a multi-input gate that ensures a positive value of delay under all input conditions. We next introduce a dual-input proximity model for the case when only two inputs of the gate are switching. We then propose a simple approximate algorithm for calculating the delay and output transition time that makes repeated use of the dual-input proximity model without collapsing the gate into an equivalent inverter. Comparison with simulation results shows that our method performs quite well in practice.","PeriodicalId":152966,"journal":{"name":"33rd Design Automation Conference Proceedings, 1996","volume":"90 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130996906","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}
