In advanced technologies, feasible wafer images should be generated effectively by utilizing SADP and SAQP where a wafer image is uniquely determined by a selected mandrel pattern. However, predicting the wafer image of a mandrel pattern is not easy. In this paper, we propose a routing method of generating a feasible wafer image satisfying the connection requirements. Routing algorithms comprising simple connecting and cutting rules are performed on a new grid structure where two (SADP) or three colors (SAQP) are assigned alternately to grid-nodes. Then a mandrel pattern is selected without complex coloring or decomposition methods. Also, hotspot reduction by dummy pattern flipping is proposed. In experiments, feasible wafer images meeting the connection requirements are generated and the effectiveness of the proposed framework is confirmed.","PeriodicalId":297528,"journal":{"name":"2013 18th Asia and South Pacific Design Automation Conference (ASP-DAC)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126158459","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}

This paper analyzes the dissimilarities and proposes two intermediate models, one abstract RTL and one rewritten C model to bridge the gap. The original SEC proof are partitioned into three sub-proofs among intermediate models where a variety of simplification techniques are applied to further reduce the complexity. Experiments from an industry project show that with the two intermediate models, the SEC proof is complete and scalable for FMA design.","PeriodicalId":297528,"journal":{"name":"2013 18th Asia and South Pacific Design Automation Conference (ASP-DAC)","volume":"0510 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125823962","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}

Efficient stream-based protocols over NoC have been widely studied to address dataflow communications. They are usually controlled by a set of static parameters. However, new applications, such as high-resolution video decoders, present more data-dependent behaviors forcing communication protocols to support higher dynamicity. For this purpose, we present in this paper dynamic stream links for stream-based end-to-end NoC communications by introducing two link protocols, both independent of the transfer size, allowing to improve the hardware/software control flexibility. The proposed protocols have been modeled in a MPSoC virtual platform and the hardware cost evaluated. Based on simulations, we provide guidelines to exploit these protocols according to application needs.","PeriodicalId":297528,"journal":{"name":"2013 18th Asia and South Pacific Design Automation Conference (ASP-DAC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121943846","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}

In this paper, we propose an adaptive prefetch filtering (APF) mechanism to reduce the wasted bandwidth and energy as well as the cache pollution caused by useless prefetches. APF records the prefetch-victim address pairs of issued prefetches and collects information about which address in each pair is first accessed by the processor to guide the filtering of new generated useless prefetches. Meanwhile, filtered prefetches are recorded for building the feedback mechanism to avoid filtering useful prefetches. Experimental results demonstrate that APF reduces useless prefetches by an average of 53.81% with a mere 5.28% reduction of useful prefetches, thus reducing the memory access bandwidth consumption by 59.92% and the L2 cache energy by 6.19%. APF also improves the performance of several programs by reducing the cache pollution incurred by useless prefetches, thus gaining an average performance improvement of 2.12%.","PeriodicalId":297528,"journal":{"name":"2013 18th Asia and South Pacific Design Automation Conference (ASP-DAC)","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121335233","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 goal of 2D scalability is to improve the local approximation properties of TPWL macromodels. Horizontal scalability is achieved through the reduction of number of linearization points along the trajectory; vertical scalability is obtained by extending the scope of macromodel to predict the response of a nonlinear system for inputs far from training trajectory. In this way more efficient macromodels are obtained in terms of simulation speed up of complex nonlinear systems. The methodology developed is to predict the nonlinear responses generated by faults introduced in Micro Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) accelerometer during fabrication, that are used to obtain the seismic images for oil and gas discovery. We provide the implementation details and illustrate the 2D scalability concept with an example using nonlinear transmission line.","PeriodicalId":297528,"journal":{"name":"2013 18th Asia and South Pacific Design Automation Conference (ASP-DAC)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132772178","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}

BTI exponentially varies by temperature and the actual supply voltage seen by the transistors within the chip which are functions of leakage power. Leakage power is strongly impacted by PVT and BTI which in turn results in thermal-voltage variations. Hence, neglecting one or some of these aspects can lead to a considerable inaccuracy in the estimated BTI-induced delay degradation. However, a holistic approach to tackle all these issues and their interdependence is missing. In this paper, we develop an analytical model to predict the probability density function and covariance of temperatures and voltage droops of a die in the presence of the BTI and process variation. Based on this model, we propose a statistical method that characterizes the life-time of the circuit affected by BTI in the presence of process-induced temperature-voltage variations. We observe that for benchmark circuits, treating each aspect independently and ignoring their intrinsic interactions results in 16% over-design, translating to unnecessary yield and performance loss.","PeriodicalId":297528,"journal":{"name":"2013 18th Asia and South Pacific Design Automation Conference (ASP-DAC)","volume":"81 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134398194","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}
