Most of the research has focussed on the fanout optimization problem for a single net (or the local fanout optimization problem-LFO). The real goal, however, is to optimize the delay through the entire circuit by fanout optimization, This is the global fanout optimization (GFO) problem. H. Touati (1990) claims that visiting nets of the network in a reverse topological order (from primary outputs to inputs), applying the optimum LFO algorithm to each net, computing the new required time at the source and propagating the delay changes to the fanins yields a provably optimum solution to the GFO problem. This result implies that GFO is solvable in polynomial time if LFO is. We show that that is not the case. We prove that GFO is NP-complete even if there are a constant number of buffering choices at each net. We analyze Touati's result and point out the flaw in his argument. We then present sufficient conditions for the optimality of the reverse topological algorithm.","PeriodicalId":6414,"journal":{"name":"1999 IEEE/ACM International Conference on Computer-Aided Design.

OPTIMISTA: state minimization of asynchronous FSMs for optimum output logic OPTIMISTA:异步FSMs的状态最小化,以获得最佳输出逻辑

{"title":"OPTIMISTA: state minimization of asynchronous FSMs for optimum output logic","authors":"Robert M. Fuhrer, S. Nowick","doi":"10.1109/ICCAD.1999.810610","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/ICCAD.1999.810610","url":null,"abstract":"The optimal state minimization problem is to select a reduced state machine having the best logic implementation over all possible state reductions and encodings. The OPTIMIST (OPTImal MInimization of STates) algorithm (R.M. Fuhrer et al., 1997) was the first general solution to this problem for synchronous finite state machines (FSMs). In this paper, we present the first solution for asynchronous FSMs. This paper makes two contributions. First, we introduce OPTIMISTA (OPTIMIST-Asynchronous), a new algorithm which guarantees optimum 2-level output logic for asynchronous FSMs. In asynchronous machines, output logic is often critical: it usually determines the machine latency. The algorithm is formulated as a binate constraint satisfaction problem, which is solved using a binate solver. The second contribution is a novel alternative result: the unreduced machine itself can be used directly to obtain minimum-cardinality output logic. Thus, this paper presents two approaches: using OPTIMISTA, which simultaneously performs state and logic minimization; or using no state reduction (if output logic cardinality is of sole interest). Extensions for literal optimization, targetted to multi-level logic, are also proposed.","PeriodicalId":6414,"journal":{"name":"1999 IEEE/ACM International Conference on Computer-Aided Design.

Such procedures are used to reduce the lengths of test sequences for synchronous sequential circuits without reducing the fault coverage. The unique feature of the proposed approach is that test vectors omitted from the test sequence can be reintroduced at a later time. Reintroducing vectors helps to reduce the compacted test sequence length beyond the length that can be achieved if vectors are omitted permanently. Experimental results are presented to demonstrate the levels of compaction achieved by the sequence counting approach.","PeriodicalId":6414,"journal":{"name":"1999 IEEE/ACM International Conference on Computer-Aided Design.

Direct synthesis of timed asynchronous circuits 定时异步电路的直接合成

The synthesis procedure begins with a deterministic graph specification with timing constraints. A timing analysis extracts the timed concurrency and timed causality relations between any two signal transitions. Then, a hazard-free implementation of the specification is synthesized by analyzing precedence graphs which are constructed by using the timed concurrency and timed causality relations. The major result of this work is that the method does not suffer from the state explosion problem, achieves significant reductions in synthesis time, and generates synthesized circuits that have nearly the same area as compared to previous timed circuit methods. In particular, this paper shows that a timed circuit-not containing circuit hazards under given timing constraints-can be found by using the relations between signal transitions of the specification. Moreover, the relations can be efficiently found using a heuristic timing analysis algorithm. By allowing significantly larger designs to be synthesized, this work is a step towards the development of high-level synthesis tools for system level asynchronous circuits.","PeriodicalId":6414,"journal":{"name":"1999 IEEE/ACM International Conference on Computer-Aided Design.

These approaches are also applicable to IIR filters. Two ideas are presented. First, we remove the redundant computation by using a graph-theoretic framework in which we find the optimal re-ordering of computations for maximal computation sharing. Second, we present the novel approach of searching for a quantization which improves the computation sharing when the frequency-domain transfer function is allowed to deviate within given bounds. A simple search scheme is presented and it is shown that, by appropriate perturbation of the filter coefficients, one can dramatically reduce the number of adders required in the filter implementation. Using these approaches, on an average, less than one adder per coefficient is required, in contrast to a full-width multiplier. Hence, the presented methodologies are a useful compliment to the existing design approaches of high-performance and low-power digital filters for future mobile computing and communication systems.","PeriodicalId":6414,"journal":{"name":"1999 IEEE/ACM International Conference on Computer-Aided Design.

Efficient manipulation algorithms for linearly transformed BDDs 线性变换bdd的有效操作算法

Linear transformations (LTs) have been proposed as a new concept to minimize the size of BDDs, and it is known that, in some cases, even an exponential reduction can be obtained. In addition to a small representation, the efficient manipulation of a data structure is also important. In this paper, we present polynomial-time manipulation algorithms that can be used for linearly transformed BDDs (LT-BDDs) analogously to BDDs. For some operations, like synthesis algorithms based on ITE (if-then-else), it turns out that the techniques known from BDDs can be directly transferred, while for other operations, like quantification and cofactor computation, completely different algorithms have to be used. Experimental results are given to show the efficiency of the approach.","PeriodicalId":6414,"journal":{"name":"1999 IEEE/ACM International Conference on Computer-Aided Design.

In this paper, we explore power optimization with dual supply voltages under given timing constraints. By analyzing the relations among the timing slack, delay and power consumption in a given circuit, we relate the voltage-scaling power optimization to the maximal weighted independent set (MWIS) problem, which is polynomial-time solvable on a transitive graph. Then we develop a provably good lower-bound algorithm based on MWIS to generate the lower bound of the power consumption. Also, we propose a fast approach to predict the optimum supply voltages. The maximum power reduction is obtained by using a modified lower-bound algorithm with optimum voltages. Experimental results show that the resulting lower bound is tight for most circuits and that the estimated optimum supply voltage is exactly, or very close to, the best choice of actual voltages.","PeriodicalId":6414,"journal":{"name":"1999 IEEE/ACM International Conference on Computer-Aided Design.
