These have been extended to perform more complex searches that facilitate the rapid survey of a network. An automatic test pattern generation mechanism which exercises the statically sensitizable paths has been developed. This forms a direct link to an electrical simulator. The critical path through a network of hundreds of gates is found, the test pattern generated, the critical path simulated, and the resulting waveforms displayed in less than two minutes.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":425087,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the European Conference on Design Automation.","volume":"144 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-02-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133773462","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}

Compiled simulation is fast for simple sub-circuits and slow for certain complex ones. Interpretive schemes have a fast set-up time, but are slow in simulating simple circuits because of the overhead of the interpreted data structures. The authors' hybrid scheme, based on COSMOS and MOSSIM II, offers the best of both approaches, reducing simulation time for a variety of common circuits and saving a factor of three or more in set-up time.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":425087,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the European Conference on Design Automation.","volume":"27 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-02-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121010912","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 algorithm has been generalized to handle gate array and standard cell circuits. The main features of the algorithm are: (1) interconnection length minimization using a new Steiner tree generation method, (2) a two-stage coarse global routing method which seeks to even congestion, (3) a maze routing procedure which removes overflows and reduces the congestion, (4) vertical track assignment, and (5) congestion evening at the detailed global routing level. In tests on the MCNC benchmark circuits, the algorithm produced layouts with an average of 11% fewer routing tracks than the other algorithms. In tests on gate array benchmark circuits, the algorithm not only achieved uniform channel densities, but the maximum channel densities it produced are the lowest values that have ever been reported.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":425087,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the European Conference on Design Automation.","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-02-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126190178","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 researchers have addressed the issues of time efficiency vs. accuracy by using simpler device models and by simplifying the numerical algorithms. StepWise Equivalent Conductance (SWEC) simulation technique is an alternative which approximates the nonlinear transfer characteristic of the transistor with stepwise constant conductances. The authors demonstrate that the time step can be controlled to provide the necessary accuracy in the implicit integration algorithm. A timing simulator has been built based on this principle. The simulator can handle very large CMOS designs. Comparisons have been made with XPsim and SPECS2 using several examples. The results indicate that SWEC exhibits far better efficiency and accuracy.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":425087,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the European Conference on Design Automation.","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-02-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125479951","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}
