Code compression has been proposed as a solution to this problem. Previous work used fixed-to-variable coding algorithms that translate fixed-length bit sequences into variable-length bit sequences. In this paper, we propose code compression schemes that use variable-to-fixed (V2F) length coding. We also propose an instruction bus encoding scheme, which can effectively reduce the bus power consumption. Though the code compression algorithm can be applied to any embedded processor, it favors VLIW architectures because VLIW architectures require a high-bandwidth instruction pre-fetch mechanism to supply multiple operations per cycle. Experiments show that the compression ratios using memoryless V2F coding for IA-64 and TMS320C6x are around 72.7% and 82.5% respectively. Markov V2F coding can achieve better compression ratio up to 56% and 70% for IA-64 and TMS320C6x respectively. A greedy algorithm for codeword assignment can reduce the bus power consumption and the reduction depends on the probability model used.","PeriodicalId":413693,"journal":{"name":"15th International Symposium on System Synthesis, 2002.","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129762133","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 LSCs are automatically translated into the input format for the SystemC-based checker engine, which indicates during simulation, if the property is fulfilled or produces a counter-example, if the property is violated. The entire process from the visual property specification to the checking is largely automated, which makes our approach accessible even for users which have not been trained in formal methods.","PeriodicalId":413693,"journal":{"name":"15th International Symposium on System Synthesis, 2002.","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125474246","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 highlights the challenges posed by the need for security during system architecture design for wireless handsets, and provides an overview of emerging techniques to address them. We focus on the computational requirements for securing wireless data transactions, revealing a gap between these requirements and the trends in processing capabilities of embedded processors used in wireless handsets. We also demonstrate that the use of security protocols causes significant degradation in battery life, a problem that will worsen due to the slow growth in battery capacities. These trends point to a wireless security processing gap that, unless addressed, will impede the deployment of secure high-speed wireless data and multi-media applications. We discuss approaches that are currently being pursued to bridge this gap, including low-complexity cryptographic algorithms, security enhancements to embedded processors, and advanced system architectures for wireless handsets that are enabled by new system level design methodologies.","PeriodicalId":413693,"journal":{"name":"15th International Symposium on System Synthesis, 2002.","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125430561","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 promising approach for reducing code size is to employ a \"dual instruction set\", where processor architectures support a normal (usually 32 bit) Instruction Set, and a narrow, space-efficient (usually 16 bit) Instruction Set with a limited set of opcodes and access to a limited set of registers. This feature (termed rISA) can potentially reduce the code size by up to 50% with minimal performance degradation. However, contemporary processors incorporate only a simple rISA feature with severe restrictions on register accessibility. We present a compiler-in-the-loop Design Space Exploration framework that is capable of exploring various interesting rISA designs. We also present experimental results using this framework and show rISA designs that improve on the code size reduction obtained by existing rISA architectures.","PeriodicalId":413693,"journal":{"name":"15th International Symposium on System Synthesis, 2002.","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116075801","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}

Intra-chip interconnects are thus becoming one of the central elements of SoC design and pose conflicting goals in terms of low energy per transmitted bit, guaranteed signal integrity, and ease of design. This work introduces and shows first results on a novel interconnect system which uses low-swing signalling, error detection codes, and a retransmission scheme; it minimises the interconnect voltage swing and frequency subject to workload requirements and S/N conditions. Simulation results show that tangible savings in energy can be attained while achieving at the same time more robustness to large variations in actual workload, noise, and technology quality (all quantities easily mispredicted in very complex systems and advanced technologies). It can be argued that traditional worst-case correct-by-design paradigm will be less and less applicable in future multibillion transistor SoC and deep sub-micron technologies; this work represents a first example towards robust adaptive designs.","PeriodicalId":413693,"journal":{"name":"15th International Symposium on System Synthesis, 2002.","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130711759","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}

But the controller can have a big influence, especially, if a certain data-path realization requires a huge number of states and/or control signals. This paper presents a new approach on controller estimation during high-level synthesis for FPGA-based target architectures. The estimator, presented in this paper can be invoked after or during every synthesis-step, i.e. allocation, scheduling and binding, respectively. By considering the controller influence on the overall area of a design, design space exploration can be made more accurate and less error prone. We present an approach for estimating area of the controller based on information which are easily accessible during each step of highlevel synthesis, so no explicit description of the controller, which usually will be generated after the binding, is necessary. This is particularly valuable in the allocation phase, where intensive design space explorations have to be done, based on fast and accurate estimates.","PeriodicalId":413693,"journal":{"name":"15th International Symposium on System Synthesis, 2002.","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132945277","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}

Second, it applies as a high-level, pseudo code-oriented specification for the implementation of a SpecC simulator.

Through a single-pass simulation for a reference customization and a model for estimating and evaluating the system's performance, pruning of design space is achieved.
