The presentation gives an overview of current experiences and finding in this field and challenges observed. The virtual platforms targeting the mid to high end application spaces of chassis, to powertrain and driver information systems. The use cases primarily address today seminconductor internal developments and Tier1 level deployment. Additionally different software vendors use the models in their development cycle which drive model requirements like stimulus and abstraction levels. The development of virtual prototypes often start with the reuse of existing cores, accelerators and IP models. These models had certain use cases to address and were created accordingly. Therefore the models sometimes don't necessarily match fully the requirements of the overall virtual prototype and compromises were made. Further to this, models are often from different design centers, vendors, etc. This can lead to conflicting model features versus the primary use case requirements of the virtual platform for the intended usage. Examples are cycle accuracy vs. functional, correct behavior vs. error behavior and error injection.","PeriodicalId":205976,"journal":{"name":"Design, Automation and Test in Europe","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116341569","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}

{"title":"Technology transfer towards Horizon 2020","authors":"R. Leupers, N. Wehn, Marco Roodzant, Johannes Stahl, L. Fanucci, Albert Cohen, B. Janson","doi":"10.7873/DATE.2014.049","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.7873/DATE.2014.049","url":null,"abstract":"European research projects produce many excellent results, and the quality of research papers at DATE and other major European conferences is often outstanding. But how many academic research results in computing technologies and EDA actually make it into industrial practice? In the context of the transition into the Horizon 2020 framework program, the European research community is currently investigating novel ways of stimulating additional academia-industry technology transfer. This special session contributes by discussing concrete transfer experiences and new concepts. Furthermore it will exemplify several success stories from both academic and industrial perspectives. We believe that two major issues currently prevent a wider industrial adoption of research results at European scale: • While most FP7 research projects do provide ambitious exploitation plans, these are rarely implemented to a full extent, because the effort for productization is underestimated and insufficient resources and incentives are available when projects fade out. • There is a lot of emphasis on start-up companies as a primary vehicle for technology transfer. However, the effort of start-up foundation is very high and might not be justified in many cases due to limited market volume. Instead, more focus should be on industrial take-up of specific new technologies or IP generated by research, which does not require large amounts of venture capital. As a consequence, European research needs better mechanisms to provide incentives for technology transfer at small to medium scale. The speakers of this session are experienced actors in this domain. They will point out in a pragmatic way, and using concrete examples, how technology transfer can be initiated and implemented in practice and what are the associated pitfalls and innovation opportunities. The mix of presentations ensures that both academic and industrial viewpoints and concerns are properly addressed. Thus, the session will be of interest to a large audience. Amongst others, it is intended to stimulate more players to engage in international technology transfer. For this purpose, the session will be initiated by a brief presentation of a specific new pilot project (TETRACOM) focused on structured small to medium scale technology transfer. TETRACOM is open to the entire European computing research community and provides both funding and services for bilateral academia-industry collaborations.","PeriodicalId":205976,"journal":{"name":"Design, Automation and Test in Europe","volume":"72 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127127698","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}

Its rate of innovation, spelled out by Moore's Law, is exceptional by any commercial metric, especially, as it has been on this trajectory for almost 40 years.

One such opportunity is to question what are meaningful performance goals for individual applications. I will present a resource management framework in which architectural resources are assigned to applications based on their performance requirements. The talk also covers some innovations that enable us to compute more power-efficiently by using memory resources more effectively by, for example, exploiting value locality.","PeriodicalId":205976,"journal":{"name":"Design, Automation and Test in Europe","volume":"134 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123441500","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}

As a result, MRAM is now viewed as a credible solution for stand-alone and embedded applications where the combination of non-volatility, speed and endurance is key. Whereas the technology is nearing maturity for DRAM replacement, with the exception of process scaling to sub-20nm which remains a challenge, circuit designers are now actively looking at SoCs where MRAM could bring in better performance and lower power consumption in data intensive applications as well as instant-on capability in mobile applications. In this paper we present a review of the MRAM technology and a methodology for ASIC design using a custom full digital hybrid CMOS/Magnetic Process Design Kit. We finish by a few examples showing that magnetic memories can be efficiently integrated in logic designs, for both safety and low power purposes.","PeriodicalId":205976,"journal":{"name":"Design, Automation and Test in Europe","volume":"157 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122448270","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}

Consumer expectations and the industry's forward-looking technology roadmaps paint a picture of a connected world full of intelligent devices once thought to have fixed functionalities. Researchers exploring next generation wireless systems, Internet of Things (IOT), and even machine-to-machine (M2M) communications face many challenges in making this vision a reality. Where once a single, isolated design flow addressed the discrete application, heterogeneous multi-processing architectures must be considered and embraced along with the connections to other devices and systems, and real-world sensor data. As the systems grow in complexity, new design approaches must also be developed and employed to expedite the research, design, and development cycle. David Fuller will outline challenges system designers face in developing cyber-physical systems and explore a graphical system design approach that includes hardware abstraction and comprehends a heterogeneous multiprocessing environment while embracing different models of computation. Through this new approach, system designers can shorten design cycles and the time to prototype ultimately accelerating deployment.","PeriodicalId":205976,"journal":{"name":"Design, Automation and Test in Europe","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131714273","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}
