The optimization is (in some sense) a dual of earlier global flow optimizations.

It is then important to leave feed-through channels in the layouts of cells and macros. One strategy to achieve this goal is to keep wires on their respective wiring grids. This requirement presents a new constraint to the compaction problem of cells and macros. A new efficient algorithm is proposed to solve such a compaction problem on multiple grids. The worst-case time complexity of the algorithm is O((M+1) ( mod V mod + mod E mod )). The algorithm has been implemented in a compactor and applied to the layout designs for both microprocessor chips and ASIC chips.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":239827,"journal":{"name":"[1991 Proceedings] IEEE International Conference on Computer Design: VLSI in Computers and Processors","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125268602","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 architecture is based on a fine grain logic gate evaluation element which can simulate a single gate in a circuit. These simple elements can be implemented using VLSI and many such elements make up the simulation architecture. Each gate evaluation element can match a node identifier transmitted on a bus allowing the architecture to search fanout lists in one cycle. The gate evaluation element is designed with additional circuitry allowing it to save or restore the complete state of the machine in one cycle so it can support fault simulation using the concurrent and differential fault simulation algorithms.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":239827,"journal":{"name":"[1991 Proceedings] IEEE International Conference on Computer Design: VLSI in Computers and Processors","volume":"87 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116085859","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 effective analog approach to Steiner routing 一种有效的斯坦纳路由模拟方法

The problem is NP-complete, and numerous heuristics have been proposed. A novel analog approach is proposed which intuitively shrinks a bubble around the pins of the signal net until a Steiner tree topology is induced. The method easily maps to parallel neural-style architectures, as well as to fairly generic two-dimensional processor arrays. Extensive simulation results show better performance than virtually all existing MRST approaches. The result is a rare instance where an analog heuristic for an NP-complete problem outperforms existing combinatorial methods, both in time complexity and in average-case performance.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":239827,"journal":{"name":"[1991 Proceedings] IEEE International Conference on Computer Design: VLSI in Computers and Processors","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128261316","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}

Implicit manipulation of equivalence classes using binary decision diagrams 使用二元决策图的等价类的隐式操作

Newton","doi":"10.1109/ICCD.1991.139995","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/ICCD.1991.139995","url":null,"abstract":"A novel representation called an equivalence class characterization function is defined. It can implicitly represent all equivalence classes with a compact characteristic function that will have at most n outputs. Using binary decision diagrams (BDDs) and the concept of the equivalence class characterization function, very large problem instances can be represented. For manipulating equivalence classes efficiently, a Boolean operator called a compatible projection operator is proposed. Conceptually, the compatible projection operator is used to uniquely select a single element from each equivalence class to characterize the class. In manipulating equivalence classes, the compatible projection operator is used to implicitly derive an encoding function from the equivalence relation that encodes the equivalence class information symbolically. An efficient implementation is described based on BDDs that is applied to very large problem instances.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":239827,"journal":{"name":"[1991 Proceedings] IEEE International Conference on Computer Design: VLSI in Computers and Processors","volume":"78 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128734990","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}

Decomposed arbiters for large crossbars with multi-queue input buffers 具有多队列输入缓冲区的大型交叉栏的分解仲裁器

Tamir","doi":"10.1109/ICCD.1991.139888","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/ICCD.1991.139888","url":null,"abstract":"Crossbars are key components of communication switches used to construct multiprocessor interconnection networks. For a fixed number of nodes, larger crossbars result in reduced probability of conflicts and allow packets to traverse the network in fewer hops. However, increasing the size of the crossbar also increases the delay of the arbiter used to resolve conflicting requests. The increased arbitration delay can lead to overall poor network performance. The impact of the increased arbitration delay can be mitigated by decomposing the arbitration process into multiple steps, such that some requests can be granted before the arbitration of the entire crossbar is complete. The design of such decomposed arbiters for larger crossbars is discussed. The focus is on crossbars with multi-queue buffers at their inputs. Such buffers have been shown to provide significantly higher performance than conventional FIFO buffers.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":239827,"journal":{"name":"[1991 Proceedings] IEEE International Conference on Computer Design: VLSI in Computers and Processors","volume":"2005 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129635096","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}
