We consider a wide layout topology without bends in diffusion layers for the nanometer SRAM cell design to minimize the impact of process variations. The design restrictions imposed by such a nanometer SRAM cell design prevents from applying traditional read SNM improvement techniques. We use the SNM as a measure of the cell stability during read operations, and Qcrit to quantify the robustness against SEE during hold mode. The techniques proposed have a low impact on read time and leakage current while improving significantly the SNM. Moreover, the Word-line modulation technique has no impact on strategic cell parameters like area and leakage when in hold mode. Results obtained from both a commercial 65nm CMOS technology and a 45nm BPTM technology are provided.","PeriodicalId":432902,"journal":{"name":"2010 Design, Automation & Test in Europe Conference & Exhibition (DATE 2010)","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-03-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116653219","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}

Among these methods, abstraction-guided simulation is a quite promising one. In this paper, we propose an abstraction-guided simulation approach aiming to cover hard-to-reach states in functional verification of microprocessors. A Markov model is constructed utilizing the high level functional specification, i.e. ISA. Such model integrates vector correlations. Furthermore, several strategies utilizing abstraction information are proposed as an effective guidance to the test generation. Experimental results on two complex microprocessors show that our approach is more efficient in covering hard-to-reach states than similar methods. Comparing with some work with other intelligent engines, our approach could guarantee higher hit ratio of target states without efficiency loss.","PeriodicalId":432902,"journal":{"name":"2010 Design, Automation & Test in Europe Conference & Exhibition (DATE 2010)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-03-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116961864","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 space exploration for optimization of single components (cable, transceiver, communication controller, middleware, application) as well as the integration of these components (e.g. selection of the topology) are complex activities that can be efficiently supported by means of simulation. The main challenge while simulating communication architectures is to efficiently integrate the heterogeneous models in order to obtain accurate results for a relevant operation time of the system. In this work, a run-time model switching method is introduced for the holistic simulation of FlexRay networks. Based on a complete modeling of the main network components, the simulation performance increase is analyzed and the new test and diagnosis possibilities resulting from this holistic approach are discussed.","PeriodicalId":432902,"journal":{"name":"2010 Design, Automation & Test in Europe Conference & Exhibition (DATE 2010)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-03-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126057431","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}

Implementing an on-chip Cache is one of the most promising solutions. However, traditional Cache may suffer from performance and energy penalties due to the Cache conflict. In order to deal with this problem, this paper firstly introduces a Time-Slotted Cache Conflict Graph to model the behavior of Data Cache conflict. Then, we implement an Integer Nonlinear Programming to select the most profitable data pages and employ Virtual Memory System to remap those data pages, which can cause severe Cache conflict within a time slot, to the on-chip Scratchpad Memory (SPM). In order to minimize the swapping overhead of dynamic SPM allocation, we introduce a novel SPM controller with a tightly coupled DMA to issue the swapping operations without CPU's intervention. The proposed method can optimize all of the data segments, including global data, heap and stack data in general, and reduce 24.83% energy consumption on average without any performance degradation.","PeriodicalId":432902,"journal":{"name":"2010 Design, Automation & Test in Europe Conference & Exhibition (DATE 2010)","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-03-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116019570","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}

We introduce a novel table look-up approach for symbol enumeration that simplifies the implementation of soft-output decoders. The HW implementation is targeted towards WLAN (IEEE 802.11n) with stringent latency and throughput requirements. The current implementation supports all modulation schemes (BPSK,QPSK,16-QAM, 64-QAM) and shows near-optimal real-time performance. To achieve this, the sphere decoder computes in the worst-case Euclidean distances of 4.1 Giga QAM symbols per second. This challenging requirement is met by a scalable, multi-standard HW architecture which can be tuned to other applications such as LTE, WiMax with no re-design effort. The current instance for WLAN occupies an area of only 0.17 mm2 in 45 nm CMOS technology while providing a guaranteed throughput of 374 Msoftbits/s at 312 MHz clock rate (i.e. outputting 2×6 softbits worst-case every 10 clock cycles).","PeriodicalId":432902,"journal":{"name":"2010 Design, Automation & Test in Europe Conference & Exhibition (DATE 2010)","volume":"488 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-03-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116030134","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}

We propose a complete algorithm based on Constraint Programming which solves the allocation and scheduling problem as a whole. We introduce a number of search acceleration techniques that significantly reduce run-time by aggressively pruning the search space without compromising optimality.
