The model represents the functional behaviour of the routing chip down to the flit (byte) level. The TRCs are self-timed and interconnected in a 4 by 4 torus (mesh with wrap-around) having unidirectional channels along the x and y-dimension. To avoid deadlock situations, the TRC implements two virtual channels on every physical channel. The model is presented in a top down manner with emphasis on the modelling of the packet routing algorithm, asynchronous channels, controlled access to shared resources and the increased complexity caused by virtual channels. The testing of the model as well as experience from using Verilog to develop a high-level architectural simulation is discussed.","PeriodicalId":412366,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of Meeting on Verilog HDL (IVC/VIUF'97)","volume":"72 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123612101","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}

Partitioning requires the assignment of timing and loading budgets across module boundaries. This is an inefficient and time-consuming task if performed by hand. Logic synthesis tools can utilize techniques of constraint propagation combined with hierarchical controls to perform this task automatically. This approach will result in improved results and shorter design times.","PeriodicalId":412366,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of Meeting on Verilog HDL (IVC/VIUF'97)","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127094391","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 purpose of this paper is to describe a simulation environment which helps in reducing development time and making the simulation environment more flexible. We study a novel method for creating a simulation environment of a proprietary bus architecture (henceforth called PBA). After analyzing the PBA architecture, we decided to have 50,000 transactions in order to cover all the possible test scenarios. Our task was to create 50,000 transactions as a part of the PEA verification environment. We decided to create parametrized tests which can be reused. This method has helped us in reducing development time from six man months to approximately two man months.","PeriodicalId":412366,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of Meeting on Verilog HDL (IVC/VIUF'97)","volume":"78 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124806327","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}

One such subset is the implicit style state machine (multiple uses of edge triggered events within an always block). With this style, one can obtain working silicon in less time because the implicit style is more like software design. Unfortunately, most synthesis vendors do not support the implicit style. To make the implicit style more accessible, a freely available synthesis preprocessor is described that converts implicit style always blocks into other equivalent Verilog, which can then be synthesized by most commercial synthesis tools. This paper discusses advantages of the implicit style, how the preprocessor translates implicit style code into a one-hot design, and why the language subset (non-blocking assignment) was chosen so that the semantics of the synthesized Verliog can agree with the simulation semantics defined by IEEE 1364.","PeriodicalId":412366,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of Meeting on Verilog HDL (IVC/VIUF'97)","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121643675","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}

Each of the functional modules in the environment is atomized and put in a centralized event queue using the dynamic event scheduling mechanism. However, during the execution phase, the set of events in a particular time instant form, what we call a 'rope' of independent events. Each of the events in a rope is simulated through the creation of an independent thread in the environment. In a multiprocessing operating system (OS) this means, depending on the availability of the processor time-slice, an independent thread created from the same process will run in parallel on different processors without any special input from the program thus ensuring a platform independent portable mechanism. As there is no direct interaction between the program and the kernel of the OS, it is possible to port the code even on a uni-processor machine without any change in the code.","PeriodicalId":412366,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of Meeting on Verilog HDL (IVC/VIUF'97)","volume":"117 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132055656","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 test proposer and the evaluator are implemented using a genetic algorithm (GA). The unsupervised pattern classifier is implemented with an adaptive resonance theory (ART) neural network. The model development portion of the system is composed of three basic functional elements: netlist generator (NG), component model library (CML) and automatic model builder (AMB). The paper addresses the use of the Verilog HDL in the netlist generator, automatic model builder, component model library and simulator functions.

However, HDL based ASIC design has remained a distinctive and separate function within projects. With the advent of deep submicron technology, large systems and subsystems can now be placed on a single chip. This requires a closer interaction between system level design and ASIC development. The paper describes an effective methodology and technology support for integrating system level simulation techniques with HDL based simulation to provide a smooth transition between each level. We start by examining an integrated verification methodology and the use models for utilizing mixed dataflow and HDL models. We then discuss combining a model of interaction derived from the work done on the Ptolemy project with a standards based implementation approach using the Open Model Forum (OMF) standard. Finally, an example is used to highlight the effectiveness of this approach.","PeriodicalId":412366,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of Meeting on Verilog HDL (IVC/VIUF'97)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130759811","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}
