This algorithm, referred to as “Incremental Construction of Inductive Clauses for Indubitable Correctness” (IC3) or “Property Directed Reachability” (PDR), uses information learned from SAT instances of isolated time frames to either prove that an invariant exists, or provide a counter example. The information learned between each time frame is recorded in the form of cubes of the state variables. In this work, we study the effect of extending PDR to use cubes of intermediate variables representing the logic gates in the transition relation. We demonstrate that we can improve the runtime for satisfiable benchmarks by up to 3.2X, with an average speedup of 1.23X. Our approach also provides a speedup of up to 3.84X for unsatisfiable benchmarks.","PeriodicalId":6310,"journal":{"name":"2013 Design, Automation & Test in Europe Conference & Exhibition (DATE)","volume":"19 1","pages":"807-810"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83572360","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}

Asynchronous logic has been studied for many years and become an attractive solution for a broad range of applications, from massively parallel multi-media systems to systems with ultra-low power & low-noise constraints, like cryptography, energy autonomous systems, and sensor-network nodes. The objective of this embedded tutorial is to give a comprehensive and recent overview of asynchronous logic. The tutorial will cover the basic principles and advantages of asynchronous logic, some insights on new research challenges, and will present the GALS scheme as an intermediate design style with recent results in asynchronous Network-on-Chip for future Many Core architectures. Regarding industrial acceptance, recent asynchronous logic applications within the microelectronics industry will be presented, with a main focus on the commercial CAD tools available today.","PeriodicalId":6310,"journal":{"name":"2013 Design, Automation & Test in Europe Conference & Exhibition (DATE)","volume":"10 1","pages":"1715-1724"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90179839","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}

Liquid cooling is an alternative that can improve heat dissipation, and reduce thermal issues. Fast and accurate thermal models are needed to appropriately dimension the cooling system at design time. Several models have been proposed to study different designs, but generally with low simulation performance. In this paper, we present an efficient model of the transient thermal behaviour of liquid-cooled 3D ICs. In our experiments, our approach is 60 times faster and uses 600 times less memory than state-of-the-art models, while maintaining the same level of accuracy.","PeriodicalId":6310,"journal":{"name":"2013 Design, Automation & Test in Europe Conference & Exhibition (DATE)","volume":"8 1 1","pages":"1385-1390"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90364363","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}

Before wafer thinning, TSVs are buried in silicon and cannot be mechanically contacted, which severely limits test access. Although TSVs become exposed after wafer thinning, probing on them is difficult because of TSV dimensions and the risk of probe-induced damage. To circumvent these problems, we propose a non-invasive method for pre-bond TSV test that does not require TSV probing. We use open TSVs as capacitive loads of their driving gates and measure the propagation delay by means of ring oscillators. Defects in TSVs cause variations in their RC parameters and therefore lead to variations in the propagation delay. By measuring these variations, we can detect resistive open and leakage faults. We exploit different voltage levels to increase the sensitivity of the test and its robustness against random process variations. Results on fault detection effectiveness are presented through HSPICE simulations using realistic models for 45nm CMOS technology. The estimated DfT area cost of our method is negligible for realistic dies.","PeriodicalId":6310,"journal":{"name":"2013 Design, Automation & Test in Europe Conference & Exhibition (DATE)","volume":"32 1","pages":"1065-1070"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90374731","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 aims to go beyond the traditional comparison of wavelength-routed ONoC topologies based only on their abstract properties, and for the first time assesses their physical implementation efficiency in an homogeneous experimental setting of practical relevance. As a result, the paper can demonstrate the significant and different deviation of topology layouts from their logic schemes under the effect of placement constraints on the target system. This becomes then the preliminary step for the accurate characterization of technology-specific metrics such as the insertion loss critical path, and to derive the ultimate impact on power efficiency and feasibility of each design.","PeriodicalId":6310,"journal":{"name":"2013 Design, Automation & Test in Europe Conference & Exhibition (DATE)","volume":"22 1","pages":"1589-1594"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90918246","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 placement problem is formulated as a mixed-integer linear program (MILP), subject to the constraints on mean-time-to-failure (MTTF) for the pads and the voltage drop in the power grid. To improve the performance of the optimizer, the pad placement problem is solved based on the divide-and-conquer principle, and the locality properties of the power grid are exploited by modeling the distant nodes and sources coarsely, following the coarsening stage in multi-grid-like approach. An accurate electromigration (EM) model that captures current crowding and Joule heating effects is developed and integrated with our C4 placement approach. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is demonstrated on several designs adapted from publicly released benchmarks.","PeriodicalId":6310,"journal":{"name":"2013 Design, Automation & Test in Europe Conference & Exhibition (DATE)","volume":"27 1","pages":"1655-1660"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78050457","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 proposed technique is based on an ultra-reduced instruction set co-processor (URISC) that, in its simplest form, executes only one Turing complete instruction — the subleq instruction. Thus, any instruction on the main core can be redundantly executed on the URISC using a sequence of subleq instructions, and the results can be compared, also on the URISC, to detect faults. A number of novel software and hardware techniques are proposed to decrease the performance overhead of online fault detection while keeping the error detection latency bounded including: (i) URISC routines and hardware support to check both control and data flow instructions; (ii) checking only a subset of instructions in the code based on a novel check window criterion; and (iii) URISC instruction set extensions. Our experimental results, based on FPGA synthesis and RTL simulations, illustrate the benefits of the proposed techniques.","PeriodicalId":6310,"journal":{"name":"2013 Design, Automation & Test in Europe Conference & Exhibition (DATE)","volume":"32 1","pages":"933-938"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76084141","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}
