ASIPs allow the customization of processors for use in embedded systems by extending the instruction set, which enhances the performance of an application or a class of applications. These extended instructions are manifested as separate hardware blocks, making the creation of any necessary floating point instructions quite unwieldy. On the other hand, using a predefined FPU includes a large monolithic hardware block with considerable number of unused instructions. A customized FPU will overcome these drawbacks, yet the manual creation of one is a time consuming, error prone process. This paper presents a methodology for automatically generating floating-point units (FPUs) that are customized for specific applications at the instruction level. Generated FPUs comply with the IEEE754 standard, which is an advantage over FP format customization. Custom FPUs were generated for several Mediabench applications. Area savings over a fully-featured FPU without resource sharing of 26%-80% without resource sharing and 33%-87% with resource sharing, were obtained. Clock period increased in some cases by up to 9.5% due to resource sharing","PeriodicalId":298961,"journal":{"name":"2007 Design, Automation & Test in Europe Conference & Exhibition","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126374462","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}

Considering the delay and energy penalty of switching between operating modes of the processor, our compiler judiciously inserts mode switch instructions in selected locations of the code and generates executable binary that is guaranteed to meet the deadline constraint. More importantly, our algorithm runs very fast and comes reasonably close to the theoretical limit of energy optimization using DVS+ABB. At 65 nm technology, we improve the energy dissipation of the generated code by an average of11.4% under deadline constraints. While our technique's improvement in energy dissipation over conventional DVS is marginal (3%) at 130nm, the average improvement continues to grow to 4.7%, 8.8% and 15.4% for 90nm, 65nm and 45nm technology nodes, respectively. Compared to a recent ILP-based competitor, we improve the runtime by more than three orders of magnitude, while producing improved results","PeriodicalId":298961,"journal":{"name":"2007 Design, Automation & Test in Europe Conference & Exhibition","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130029413","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}

Previously a test methodology based on error-rate estimation to support error-tolerance was proposed. Without violating the system error-rate constraint specified by the user, this methodology identifies a set of faults that can be ignored during testing, thereby leading to a significant improvement in yield. However, usually the patterns detecting all of the unacceptable faults also detect a large number of acceptable faults, resulting in a degradation in achievable yield improvement. In this paper, the authors first provide a probabilistic analysis of this problem and show that a conventional ATPG procedure cannot adequately address this problem. The authors then present a novel test pattern selection procedure and an output masking technique to deal with this problem. The selection process generates a test set aimed to detect all unacceptable faults but as few acceptable faults as possible. The masking technique then examines the generated test patterns and identifies a list of output lines that can be masked (not observed) during testing so as to further avoid the detection of acceptable faults. Experimental results show that by employing the proposed techniques, only a small number of acceptable faults are still detected. In many cases the actual yield improvement approaches the optimal value that can be achieved","PeriodicalId":298961,"journal":{"name":"2007 Design, Automation & Test in Europe Conference & Exhibition","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129921104","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}

It is fully integrated into the tester. The MTE leads to a significant increase of memory test quality and at the same time to a significant reduction of the test time. The test time reduction that was achieved by executing the memory test in parallel to other analog tests lead to the test cost reduction, which was the impetus for developing the MTE","PeriodicalId":298961,"journal":{"name":"2007 Design, Automation & Test in Europe Conference & Exhibition","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125642662","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, a novel approach for the development of pervasive environments based on an ultra low-cost implementation of standard distributed object middlewares (such as CORBA or ICE) is presented.
