Even though computers and design tools have made important advances, the use of these tools in the commonly practised design methodology is not enough to address the design correctness problem since verification is almost always an after-thought in the mind of the designer. A design methodology should on one hand put to good use all techniques and methods developed thus far for verification, from formal verification to simulation, from visualization to timing analysis, but should also have specific conceptual devices for dealing with correctness in the face of complexity. This paper is organized as follows: we review the available verification tools. Formalization is investigated in several contexts. Abstraction is presented with a set of examples. Decomposition is introduced. Finally a design methodology that includes all these aspects is proposed.","PeriodicalId":152966,"journal":{"name":"33rd Design Automation Conference Proceedings, 1996","volume":"136 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":"115885338","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}

We introduce two approaches for power minimization in linear computations using transformations. First we show how unfolding combined with the procedure for maximally fast implementation of linear computations reduces power in single processor and multiprocessor implementations by factors 2.2 and 8 respectively. To accomplish this we exploit a newly identified property of unfolding whereby as a linear system is unfolded, the number of operations per sample at first decreases to reach a minimum and then begins to rise. For the custom ASIC implementation even higher improvements are achievable using the second transformational approach, which builds upon the unfolding based strategy of the first approach. We developed a method that combines the multiple constant multiplication technique with the generalized Horner's scheme and unfolding in such a way that power is minimized.","PeriodicalId":152966,"journal":{"name":"33rd Design Automation Conference Proceedings, 1996","volume":"23 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":"124453724","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}

An efficient and effective algorithm is necessary when the circuit is huge and the tree has many levels of hierarchy. We propose a heuristic algorithm for improving a partition with respect to a given tree structure. The algorithm utilizes the tree hierarchy as an efficient mechanism for iterative improvement. We also extend the tree hierarchy to apply a multi-phase partitioning approach. Experimental results show that the algorithm significantly improves the initial partitions produced by multiway partitioning and by recursive partitioning.","PeriodicalId":152966,"journal":{"name":"33rd Design Automation Conference Proceedings, 1996","volume":"75 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":"126214013","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}

Recently, methods have been developed that identify conditions under which the output of a module in a logic circuit is not used for a given clock cycle. When these conditions are met, input latches for that module are disabled, thus eliminating any switching activity and power dissipation. In this paper, we introduce these power management techniques in behavioral synthesis. We present a scheduling algorithm which maximizes the \"shut-down\" period of execution units in a system. Given a throughput constraint and the number of execution units available, the algorithm first schedules operations that generate controlling signals and activates only those modules whose result is eventually used. We present results which show that this scheduling technique can save up to 40% in power dissipation.","PeriodicalId":152966,"journal":{"name":"33rd Design Automation Conference Proceedings, 1996","volume":"26 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":"126533392","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}

Power dissipation is input pattern dependent. To obtain an accurate power estimate, a large input vector set must be used which leads to very long simulation time. One solution is to generate a compact vector set that is representative of the original input vector set and can be simulated in a reasonable time. We propose an input vector compaction technique that preserves the statistical properties of the original sequence. Experimental results show that a compaction ratio of 100X is achieved with less than 2% average error in the power estimates.","PeriodicalId":152966,"journal":{"name":"33rd Design Automation Conference Proceedings, 1996","volume":"27 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":"116650279","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}

Verification is in general performed either by simulation, or by bread-boarding. Given the safety requirements of such systems, a formal proof that the properties are indeed satisfied is highly desirable. In this paper, we present a formal verification methodology for embedded systems. The formal model for the behavior of the system used in POLIS is a network of Codesign Finite State Machines (CFSM). This model is translated into automata, and verified using automata-theoretic techniques. An industrial embedded system is verified using the methodology. We demonstrate that abstractions and separation of timing and functionality is crucial for the successful use of formal verification for this example. We also show that in POLIS abstractions and separation of timing and functionality can be done by simple syntactic modification of the representation of the system.","PeriodicalId":152966,"journal":{"name":"33rd Design Automation Conference Proceedings, 1996","volume":"61 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":"133816054","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}
