An NFG realizes a function, such as a trigonometric, logarithmic, square root, or reciprocal function, in hardware. NFGs are important in, for example, digital signal applications, where high speed and accuracy are necessary. We use the EVBDD to produce a fast and compact segment index encoder (SIE) that is a key component in our NFG. We compare our approach with NFG designs based on multi-terminal BDDs (MTBDDs), and show that the EVBDD produces SIEs that have, on average, only 7% of the memory and 40% of the delay of those designed using MTBDDs. Therefore, our NFGs based on EVBDDs have, on average, only 38% of the memory and 59% of the delay of NFGs based on MTBDDs.","PeriodicalId":362373,"journal":{"name":"2007 Asia and South Pacific Design Automation Conference","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-01-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124987500","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}

However, the inserted fill shapes impact the performance of signal interconnect by increasing capacitance. In this paper, we analyze and model the impact of the metal dummy on the signal capacitance with various parameters including their electrical characteristic, signal dimensions, and dummy shape and dimensions. Fill has differing impact on interconnects depending on whether the signal of interest is in the same layer as the fill or not. In particular intra-layer dummy has its greatest impact on coupling capacitance while inter-layer dummy has more impact on the ground capacitance component. Based on an analysis of fill impact on capacitance, we propose simple capacitance increment models (Cc for intra-layer dummy and Cg for inter-layer dummy). To consider the realistic case with both signals and metal fill in adjacent layers, we apply a weighting function approach in the ground capacitance model. We verify this model using simple test patterns and benchmark circuits and find that the models match well with field solver results (1.2% average error with much faster runtime than commercial extraction tools, the runtime overhead reduced by ~75% for all benchmark circuits).","PeriodicalId":362373,"journal":{"name":"2007 Asia and South Pacific Design Automation Conference","volume":"156 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-01-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125774547","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}

Hence an arbiter is mandatory to deal with the contention issue on a shared bus system. In different applications, IPs may have real-time and/or bandwidth requirements. It is very difficult to design an arbitration algorithm to simultaneously meet these two requirements. In this paper, we propose an innovative arbitration algorithm, RB_lottery, to meet both of the requirements. It can provide not only the hard real-time guarantee but also the precise bandwidth controllability. The experimental results show that RBJottery outperforms several well-known existing arbitration algorithms.","PeriodicalId":362373,"journal":{"name":"2007 Asia and South Pacific Design Automation Conference","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-01-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126974243","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 work, we propose novel and effective splitting based variation reduction techniques for both interconnect and gate. We developed a new tool called TURGIS: timing uncertainty reduction by gate-interconnect splitting which reduces the timing variations of a circuit and presents little delay overhead at the primary output. It is shown that using splitting on interconnect can reduce the chemical-mechanical polishing (CMP) induced dishing effect and can result in decrease at an average of 5% in mean interconnect delay in addition to its variation. Improvements of up to 30% are achieved on timing variation for gates of various size while reduction of 55% can be observed in interconnect delay variation.","PeriodicalId":362373,"journal":{"name":"2007 Asia and South Pacific Design Automation Conference","volume":"36 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-01-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114039008","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}

While optimizing tabular data, significant fitting efforts are required to fit the data into convex form. Fitting the tables into analytically convex forms like posynomials, suffers from excessive fitting errors, as the fitting problem may be non-convex. In recent literature optimal numerically convex tables have been proposed. Since these tables are numerical, it is extremely important to make the table data smooth, and yet preserve its convexity. The smoothness ensures that the convex optimizer behaves predictably and converges quickly to the global optimal point. The existing smoothing techniques either cannot preserve convexity, or require very high execution time. In this paper, we propose a linear time algorithm to smoothen a given numerically convex data and at the same time preserve convexity. Our proposed algorithm SmartSmooth can smoothen the data in linear time without introducing any additional error on the numerically convex data. We present our SmartSmooth results on industrial cell libraries. SmartSmooth when applied on convex tables produced by ConvexFit shows a 30times reduction in fitting square error over a posynomial fitting algorithm.","PeriodicalId":362373,"journal":{"name":"2007 Asia and South Pacific Design Automation Conference","volume":"134 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-01-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128546116","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}

Due to the interdependence of temperature and leakage power, we observe that the floorplan has an impact on both the temperatures and the leakage of the IP-blocks in a system on chip (SoC). Hence, in this paper we propose a novel system level leakage aware floorplanner (LEAF) which optimizes floorplans for temperature-aware leakage power along with the traditional metrics of area and wire length. Our floorplanner takes a SoC netlist and the dynamic power profile of functional blocks to determine a placement while optimizing for temperature dependent leakage power, area, and wire length. To demonstrate the effectiveness of LEAF, we implemented our methodology on ten industrial SoC designs from Freescale Semiconductor Inc. and evaluated the trade-off between leakage power and area. We observed up to 190% difference in the leakage power between leakage-unaware and leakage aware floorplanning.","PeriodicalId":362373,"journal":{"name":"2007 Asia and South Pacific Design Automation Conference","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-01-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127043780","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}
