Several design approaches, including system-level design as well as IP-based design, have improved the design process. The rising number of instantiated components implicates a set of complex interfaces. High-speed data transmission rates, fault tolerance and predictability are key challenges for interface design. Thus high sophisticated interfaces have to be generated with respect to the different applications. In this paper we present a design methodology for application-specific real-time interfaces. The high-level design specification is done in a UML-based formalism. An interface-block (IFB) is derived from this specification. The IFB handles data sequencing and protocol generation. Both parts are controlled hierarchically. Within the IFB all application specific restrictions, channel features, and target platform characteristics are taken into account. Our approach is illustrated by a case study implementing a real-time communication between two interacting robots.","PeriodicalId":164768,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

This architecture is extended for radix-2/sup m/ encoding, which leads to a reduction of the number of partial lines, enabling a significant improvement in performance and power consumption. The flexibility of our architecture allows for the easy construction of multipliers for different values of m, as opposed to the Booth architecture for which implementations for m > 2 are complex. The results we present show that the proposed architecture with radix-4 compares favorably in performance and power with the Modified Booth multiplier. We have experimented our architecture with different values of m and concluded that m = 4 minimizes both delay and power.","PeriodicalId":164768,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

The architecture presents two main benefits: (a) no significant penalties are introduced in the presence of a misspeculation and (b) any type of trace predictor can work together with this proposal. In this way, aggressive trace predictors can be incorporated since misspeculations do not introduce significant penalties. We describe in detail TSMA (trace-level speculative multithreaded architecture) and present initial results to show the benefits of this proposal. We show how simple trace predictors achieve significant speed-up in the majority of cases. Results of a simple trace speculation mechanism show an average speed-up of 16%.","PeriodicalId":164768,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

The crosstalk model used is more accurate because it considers skew, input transition times, and driver strengths. This crosstalk model is enhanced to handle timing ranges for performing STA. The methodology also uses more accurate delay models for gates. The presence of one or more coupling capacitances can create cyclic timing dependencies, even in an otherwise acyclic circuit. We have developed an approach to partition the circuit into minimal timing-iterative subcircuits (TISs) that encapsulate the cyclic timing dependencies. When used in conjunction with our levelization procedure, iterative timing analysis is confined within individual TISs. We have demonstrated that the maximum arrival time values computed by the proposed STA using integrated delay models are much closer to detailed circuit simulation results than an STA that uses the 3C/sub c/ delay model.","PeriodicalId":164768,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

The major component in the design was the Active Memory Processor (AMP) that utilized a set of bit-maps and a combinational circuit to perform mark-sweep garbage collection. The design can achieve constant time for both allocation and sweeping. In this paper two enhancements are made to the design of AMP so that it can perform one-bit reference counting that postpones the need to perform garbage collection. Moreover, a caching mechanism is also introduced to reduce the hardware cost of the design. The experimental results show that the proposed modification can reduce the number of garbage collection invocations by 76%. The speed-up in marking time can be as much as 5.81. With the caching mechanism, the hardware cost can be as small as 27 K gates and 6 KB of SRAM.","PeriodicalId":164768,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

The scheme is capable of decoding all the codewords in an N-bit buffer whose accumulated codelength is at most N. The proposed method partially breaks the recursive dependency related to the MPEG-2 VLD. All possible codewords in the buffer are detected in parallel and the sum of the codelengths is provided to the external shifter aligning the variable-length coded input stream for a new decoding cycle. Two length detection mechanisms are proposed: the first approach determines the length in a parallel/serial fashion and the second using a new device denoted as MultiplexedAdd. In order to prove feasibility and determine the limiting factors of our proposal, the parallel/serial codeword detector with 32-bit input has been described in behavioral non-optimized VHDL and mapped onto Altera's ACEX EP1K100 FPGA. The implemented prototype exhibits a latency of 110 ns and uses 32% of the logic cells of the device.

For scan designs, a high level of switching activity is created in the circuit during scan shifts, which increases power consumption considerably.

The method reduces the switching activity in the scan chains and the activity in the circuit under test by limiting the scan shifts to a portion of the scan chain structure using scan chain disable. Experimental results on various benchmark circuits demonstrate that the technique reduces the switching activity caused by scan shifts.","PeriodicalId":164768,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.
