An N times N TDM switch could be constructed recursively from the TDM switch IC to achieve switching capacity of hundred gigabits per second or higher. The TDM switch IC contained a digital 8 times 8 TDM switch core with 8B10B CODECs and analog SERDES I/O interfaces. In the I/O interfaces, eight 2.56/3.2Gbps dual-mode 16/20:1 SERDES with CML buffers were developed. The 16/20:1 instead of 8/10:1 serializer and deserializer were used to reduce the required operating frequency in the switch core by half. New half-rate architectures and all static CMOS gates were used in the 16/20:1 serializer and deserializer for the low power consumption. A wide-band CML I/O buffer with our patented PMOS active load scheme was developed. All implementation were based on the 0.18 mum CMOS technology. Our implementation showed a 20 Gbps switching capacity for the 8 times 8 TDM switch IC.","PeriodicalId":362373,"journal":{"name":"2007 Asia and South Pacific Design Automation Conference","volume":"2 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":"133323799","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}

Many published optimizations for physical synthesis end up hurting the final result, often by neglecting important physical aspects of the layout, such as long wires or routing congestion. In this work we propose SafeResynth, a safe resynthesis technique, which provides immediately-measurable delay improvement without altering the design's functionality. It can enhance circuit timing without detrimental effects on route length and congestion. When applied to IWLS'05 benchmarks, SafeResynth improves circuit delay by 11% on average after routing, while increasing route length and via count by less than 0.2%. Our resynthesis can also be used in an unsafe mode, akin to more traditional physical synthesis algorithms popular in commercial tools. Applied together, our safe and unsafe transformations achieve 24% average delay improvement for seven large benchmarks from the OpenCores suite. The relative contribution of safe and unsafe techniques varies depending on the amount of whitespace in the layout.","PeriodicalId":362373,"journal":{"name":"2007 Asia and South Pacific Design Automation Conference","volume":"3 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":"129224363","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}

Decoupling capacitance (decap) addition is effective in reducing the power supply noise, thus making the supply network more robust in presence of large switching currents. Traditionally, decaps have been allocated in order to minimize the worst-case voltage drop occurring in the power grid. In this paper, we propose an approach for timing-aware decap allocation which uses global time slacks to drive the decap optimization. Non-critical gates with larger timing slacks can tolerate a relatively higher supply voltage drop as compared to the gates on the critical paths. The decap allocation is formulated as a non-linear optimization problem using Lagrangian relaxation, and modified adjoint method is used to efficiently obtain the sensitivities of objective function to decap sizes. A fast path-based heuristic is also implemented and compared with the global optimization formulation. The two approaches have been implemented and tested on ISCAS85 benchmark circuits and with grids of different sizes. Compared to uniformly allocated decaps, the proposed approach utilizes 35.5% less total decap to meet the same delay target. For the same total decap budget, the proposed approach is shown to improve the circuit delay by 10.1% on an average.","PeriodicalId":362373,"journal":{"name":"2007 Asia and South Pacific Design Automation Conference","volume":"1 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":"129265403","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}

Estimation of software performance is essential in current software-dominated embedded systems. This work proposes an integrated methodology for system design and performance analysis. An analytic approach based on neural networks is used for high-level software performance estimation. At the functional level, this analytic tool enables a fast evaluation of the performance to be obtained with selected processors, which is an essential task for the definition of a \"golden\" architecture. From this architectural definition, a tool that refines hardware and software interfaces produces a bus-functional model. A virtual prototype is then generated from the bus-functional model, providing a global, cycle-accurate simulation model and offering several features for design validation and detailed performance analysis. Our work thus combines an analytic approach at functional level and a simulation-based approach at bus functional level. This provides an adequate trade-off between estimation time and precision. A multiprocessor platform implementing an MPEG4 encoder is used as case study, and the analytic estimation results in errors only up to 17% when compared to the virtual platform simulation. On the other hand, the analytic estimation takes only 17 seconds, against 10 minutes using the cycle-accurate simulation model.","PeriodicalId":362373,"journal":{"name":"2007 Asia and South Pacific Design Automation Conference","volume":"202 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":"116386346","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 main factor preventing the covering problem's migration to other logic transformations, such as elimination and resynthesis region identification found in SIS and FBDD, is the exponential number of alternative cuts that have to be evaluated. Traditional methods of cut generation do not scale beyond a cut size of 6. In this paper, a symbolic method that can enumerate all cuts is proposed without any pruning, up to a cut size of 10. We show that it can outperform traditional methods by an order of magnitude and, as a result, scales to 100K gate benchmarks. As a practical driver, the covering problem applied to elimination is shown where it can not only produce competitive area, but also provide more than 6times average runtime reduction of the total runtime in FBDD, a BDD based logic synthesis tool with a reported order of magnitude faster runtime than SIS and commercial tools with negligible impact on area.","PeriodicalId":362373,"journal":{"name":"2007 Asia and South Pacific Design Automation Conference","volume":"88 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":"116963147","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}

Our approach combines continuous and discrete optimization techniques. We utilize network flows, which incorporate the more realistic half-perimeter wire length objective, to facilitate module spreading in conjunction with a log-sum-exponential function based analytic approach. Our approach obtains wire length results that are competitive with the best known results, but with much lower run times.","PeriodicalId":362373,"journal":{"name":"2007 Asia and South Pacific Design Automation Conference","volume":"111 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":"117253489","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}
