The DASL constraint graph compactor requires no user intervention to produce a process-independent design. It also produces results that are electrically correct, e.g., that control the placement of substrate contacts. In other constraint graph compaction if there is nothing to constrain an element's placement, it will slide as far to the left as possible. A technique has been developed that controls the size of the tubs and the placement of the substrate contacts. A given design can be recompacted for a new process, therefore without any user intervention being necessary. The substrate contact sliding problem is constrained by minimizing the area of the tubs in the unique fashion that is discussed.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":162648,"journal":{"name":"[1992] Proceedings 29th ACM/IEEE Design Automation Conference","volume":"124 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124835736","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}

Switching activity is strongly affected by gate delays and for this reason a general delay model is used in estimating switching activity. The method takes into account correlation caused at internal gates in the circuit due to reconvergence of input signals. In sequential circuits, the input sequence applied to the combinational portion of the circuit is highly correlated because some of the inputs to the combinational logic are flip-flop outputs representing the state of the circuit. Methods are presented to probabilistically estimate switching activity in sequential circuits. These methods automatically compute the switching rates and correlations between flip-flop outputs.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":162648,"journal":{"name":"[1992] Proceedings 29th ACM/IEEE Design Automation Conference","volume":"139 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121544225","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}

To eliminate the lock skew and minimize the total wire length, ZSTM recursively partitions the sink nodes into two subsets which have equal loadings and minimum sum of diameters, and then constructs a zero skew segment tree according to the partitioning result. The final layout of the clock net can be decided by the channel information of the routing region. Experiments showed that ZSTM improved the wire length by 15% and the maximum delay by 3% over the published results. It also completely eliminated the clock skew.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":162648,"journal":{"name":"[1992] Proceedings 29th ACM/IEEE Design Automation Conference","volume":"59 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120841667","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}

Nonlinear response surfaces are constructed for the performance measures of interest, and the worst-case device parameter files are identified by solving a set of suitably cast nonlinear programming problems. The worst-case files are shown to depend on the values of the designable parameters. An efficient method of incorporating this dependence during worst-case design optimization has been developed. This method enables the design of circuits with optimal performance and high parametric yields. Some illustrative analog circuit examples are given to demonstrate the application of the worst-case design optimization procedure.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":162648,"journal":{"name":"[1992] Proceedings 29th ACM/IEEE Design Automation Conference","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134629276","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 production-based specification (PBS) consists of productions annotated with HDL action code, and forms the input to a design tool which outputs procedural HDL tailored for hardware synthesis. Due to the concise nature of this form of specification, the technique can save enormous labor in the construction of procedural specifications for these machines. Novel aspects of this research include the compilation of a PBS with HDL action clauses into synthesizable procedural HDL and the approach to specification of machine behavior in the event of exceptional conditions.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":162648,"journal":{"name":"[1992] Proceedings 29th ACM/IEEE Design Automation Conference","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134641511","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}

A model is presented for simultaneous scheduling, selecting types of functional units, allocation and determining the clock period. Functional units can be chained, multicycled, or pipelined, with different speed and area characteristics. A large number of optimal architectures, satisfying area, speed, and interface constraints, can be synthesized. The synthesis problem is transformed into a tight IP model based on polyhedral theory. A branch and bound algorithm produces globally optimal architectures in practical CPU execution times. It is shown that by simultaneously selecting clock periods and chaining operations, the architectures, synthesized by the optimal architectural synthesis model, are up to 23% faster than previously published architectures. Up to 30 times improvement in CPU execution times is obtained.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":162648,"journal":{"name":"[1992] Proceedings 29th ACM/IEEE Design Automation Conference","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129425159","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}

Placement of modules is guided by a set of upper- and lower-bounds on the net wire lengths. A convex programming algorithm is used to compute a set of upper-bounds on the net wire lengths which will ensure that timing requirements between input and output signals are satisfied. A set of lower-bounds is also computed to control signal skews at intermediate points of the circuit. Artificial nets are introduced between all pairs of modules. Lower-bounds on the lengths of the artificial nets are computed to avoid module overlaps in the placement. A modified min-cut placement algorithm is then used to generate a placement that satisfies the upper- and lower-bounds. An iterative procedure is used to modify the set of upper- and lower-bounds to improve the quality of the placement result.
