Functional timing optimization 功能时序优化

I demonstrate that this notion is pessimistic. Many true paths can never affect the delay of the circuit-whenever such a path propagates a signal, some other path that is at least as long also propagates a signal. The theory for a new classification of paths based on the impact on the circuit delay is presented and conditions are given under which a path (or a set of paths) must be speeded up in order to improve the circuit delay. The conditions for the categorization are independent of the delays in the circuit and are valid for all delay assignments. This work indicates that the widely employed notions of true and false paths may be misleading both for timing optimization and delay analysis of logic circuits.","PeriodicalId":6414,"journal":{"name":"1999 IEEE/ACM International Conference on Computer-Aided Design.

A small piece of static CMOS logic is introduced to the circuit to avoid significant area penalty resulting from duplication. To maximize the domino logic part and to minimize the static CMOS logic part, a generalized ATPG based logic transformation is proposed to eliminate or relocate a target inverter. Based on the new concept of dominating set of mandatory assignment (DSMA) and the corresponding implication graph, we propose algorithms to identify a minimum candidate set for a target inverter. Experimental results show that logic transformation based on an implication graph can reduce transistor counts by 25% and power delay product by 25% on average.","PeriodicalId":6414,"journal":{"name":"1999 IEEE/ACM International Conference on Computer-Aided Design.

This paper presents techniques for obtaining realizable and accurate reduced models for two-port and multi-port RC circuits. The proposed method is also particularly suitable for interconnect reduction for nonlinear circuit simulation and for interconnect post-processing in a parasitic extractor. The method has two limitations. First, it only considers the first few moments of the transfer function; however that is accurate enough for RC circuits. Second, the amount of interconnect reduction is topology dependent. Although, most on-chip interconnect topologies are well suited for the method proposed. Accuracy and efficiency of the proposed method is demonstrated for various realistic examples.","PeriodicalId":6414,"journal":{"name":"1999 IEEE/ACM International Conference on Computer-Aided Design.

Marsh:min-area retiming with setup and hold constraints Marsh:设置和保持约束的最小区域重新计时

Given a circuit G and a target clock period c, our algorithm either outputs a retimed version of G satisfying setup and hold constraints or reports that such a solution is not possible, in O(|V/sup 3/|log|V|log(|V|C)) steps, where |V| corresponds to number of gates in the circuit and C is equal to the number of registers in the circuit. This is the first polynomial time algorithm ever reported for min-area retiming with constraints on both long and short-paths. An alternative problem formulation that takes practical issues in to consideration and lowers the problem complexity is also developed. Both the problem formulations have many parallels with the original formulation of long-path only retiming by Leiserson and Saxe and all the speed improvements that have been obtained on that technique are likely to be valid for improving the performance of the technique described in this paper.","PeriodicalId":6414,"journal":{"name":"1999 IEEE/ACM International Conference on Computer-Aided Design.

The approach is based on automatically designing a circuit which implements the D-algorithm, an automatic test pattern generation (ATPG) algorithm, specialized for the combinational circuit. Our approach exploits fine-grain parallelism by performing the following in three clock cycles: direct backward/forward implications, conflict checking, selecting next gate to propagate fault or to justify a line, decisions on gate inputs, loading the state of the circuit after backup. In this paper, we show the feasibility of this approach in terms of speed, and how it compares with software based techniques.","PeriodicalId":6414,"journal":{"name":"1999 IEEE/ACM International Conference on Computer-Aided Design.

Virtual screening: a step towards a sparse partial inductance matrix 虚拟筛选:迈向稀疏部分电感矩阵的一步

{"title":"Virtual screening: a step towards a sparse partial inductance matrix","authors":"A. J. Dammers, N. V. D. Meijs","doi":"10.1109/ICCAD.1999.810691","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/ICCAD.1999.810691","url":null,"abstract":"We extend the partial inductance concept by replacing the magnetic interaction between open filaments i and j by that between filament j and a (finite) closed loop, formed by connecting the endpoints of a filament pair (i-i/sup l/). The secondary filament i/sup l/ is constructed by radial projection of filament i onto a cylindrical shell around filament j. We show that, although individual partial inductance values are modified, the inductive behaviour of the full circuit is invariant. Mutual inductances of distant filaments are particularly reduced, because the far field of a conductor loop falls off much faster than that of a single filament. Therefore, it is expected that subsequent removal of such transformed off-diagonal elements from the partial inductance matrix has less effect on the overall inductive properties, so our method provides a tool to enhance robustness under matrix sparsification. We call our method \"virtual screening\", because the screening filaments (i/sup l/) are not physically present. Symmetry of the inductance matrix is presented for orthogonal networks only. We also present an extension of our method to a more general class of shells. This allows a detailed comparison of the virtual screening method and the \"potential shift-truncate method\", introduced with spherical equipotential shells (B. Krauter and L.T. Pileggi, 1995) and extended to ellipsoidal equipotential shells (M. Beattie et al., 1998). We find strong similarities, but also differences. An interesting result is the fact that the virtual screening method with tubular shells applied to orthogonal networks can be interpreted as a generalization of the potential shift-truncate method to non-equipotential shells, which also implies that preservation of stability is guaranteed.","PeriodicalId":6414,"journal":{"name":"1999 IEEE/ACM International Conference on Computer-Aided Design.

We define synchronous equivalence for embedded systems that strongly resembles the concept of functional equivalence for sequential circuits. We then present equivalence analysis algorithms that are of low polynomial complexity. We show an example of application of the algorithms to a real-life design (a shock absorber controller) and demonstrate that synchronous equivalence opens up design exploration avenues uncharted before.","PeriodicalId":6414,"journal":{"name":"1999 IEEE/ACM International Conference on Computer-Aided Design.

We introduce in this paper a novel method for identifying a set of repeating circuit structures, referred to as templates, and we report on using an efficient binate cover solver to select an appropriate subset of templates with which to cover the circuit. Our approach is comprised of three steps. First, the circuit graph is decomposed in a hierarchical inclusion parse tree using a clan-based decomposition algorithm. This algorithm discovers clans, grouping of nodes in the circuit graph that have a natural affinity towards each other. Second, the parse tree nodes are classified into equivalence classes. Such classes represent templates suitable for circuit covering. The final step consists of using a binate cover solver to find an appropriate cover. The cover will consist of instantiated templates and gates that cannot be covered by any templates. We describe the results of applying this algorithm to several circuits, and show that the algorithm is effective in extracting structural regularity.","PeriodicalId":6414,"journal":{"name":"1999 IEEE/ACM International Conference on Computer-Aided Design.
