In this scenario, interfaces play a key role, since they allow one to control/exploit these interdependencies with the aim of meeting design constraints like power. In this paper, we present a comprehensive approach to explore this impact. We consider a whole system comprising a CPU, caches, a main memory and interfaces between those cores, and we demonstrate the high impact that an adequate adaptation between core parameters and interface parameters has in terms of power consumption. We find in particular that cache parameters and the configurations of cache buses have a significant impact in this respect. In addition, we make the important observation that optimizing for performance no longer implies that power is optimized as well in deep submicron technologies. Instead, we find that, especially for newer technologies, the relative interface power contribution increases, leading to scenarios where we obtain a real power/performance tradeoff. In summary, our explorations have revealed as yet uninvestigated interdependencies that represent the first step towards future efforts to optimize/adapt interfaces and caches in core-based systems for low-power designs.","PeriodicalId":6414,"journal":{"name":"1999 IEEE/ACM International Conference on Computer-Aided Design.

An intellectual property (IP) module, if combinational, is one such example. The false-path-aware delay characterization of a combinational module without disclosing its internal structural detail is crucial for accurate timing analysis of IP-based designs. We address three related issues on delay characterization of combinational modules. We first introduce a new notion called timing-safe replaceability as a way of comparing the timing characteristics of two combinational modules formally. This notion allows us to determine whether a new module is a safe replacement of an original module under any surrounding environment with respect to timing. Second, we consider false path detection of combinational modules. Although false path detection is essential in accurate delay modeling, we argue that the conventional definition of false paths such as floating mode analysis is not appropriate for defining the falsity of a path for a combinational module since the falsity is relative to an arrival time condition. A new definition of false paths, termed strongly false paths, is introduced to resolve this issue. Strongly false paths are those paths that are guaranteed to be false under any arrival time condition, and thus uniquely defined independent of arrival time conditions. Finally, we propose a new algorithm that removes strongly false paths from a combinational module by a circuit transformation. We prove that the resulting circuit is a timing-safe replacement of the original.","PeriodicalId":6414,"journal":{"name":"1999 IEEE/ACM International Conference on Computer-Aided Design.

Although such techniques may provide convincing proof of authorship with low hardware overhead, they fail to protect parts of design, do not provide an easy procedure for watermark detection, and are not capable of detecting the watermark when the design or its part is augmented in another larger design. Since these demands are of the highest interest for the IP business, we introduce localized watermarking as an IP protection technique that enables these features while satisfying the demand for low-cost and transparency. We propose a set of protocols that implement the new watermarking methodology at the operation scheduling design level. We have demonstrated that the difficulty of erasing or finding another signature in the synthesized design can be made arbitrarily computationally difficult. The watermarking method has been tested on a set of real-life benchmarks where high likelihood of authorship has been achieved with negligible overhead in solution quality.","PeriodicalId":6414,"journal":{"name":"1999 IEEE/ACM International Conference on Computer-Aided Design.

Our technique fills a gap in existing techniques for system-level performance analysis, which are either too slow to use in an iterative communication architecture design framework (e.g., simulation of the complete system), or are not accurate enough to drive the design of the communication architecture (e.g., techniques that perform a static analysis of the system performance). The proposed system-level performance analysis technique consists of: initial co-simulation performed after HW/SW partitioning and mapping, with the communication between components modeled in an abstract manner (e.g., as events or data transfers); extraction of abstracted symbolic traces, represented as a bus and synchronization event (BSE) graph, that captures the activity of the various system components and their communication over time; and manipulation of the BSE graph using the bus parameters, to derive the behavior of the system accounting for effects of the bus architecture. We present experimental results on several example systems, including a TCP/IP network interface card sub-system. The results indicate that our performance estimation technique is over two orders of magnitude faster than performing a complete system simulation, while being very accurate (within 2.2% of performance estimates derived from accurate HW/SW co-simulation).","PeriodicalId":6414,"journal":{"name":"1999 IEEE/ACM International Conference on Computer-Aided Design.
