The algorithm uses at it core an existing integer programming (IP) formulation-both for routing each subproblem and for connecting them. Concurrent processing of the routing subproblems is desirable for effective parallelization. However, achieving no (or low) overflow global routing solutions without strong, coordinated algorithmic control is difficult. Our algorithm addresses this challenge via a patching phase that uses IP to connect partial routing solutions. Patching provides feedback to each routing subproblem in order to avoid overflow, later when attempting to connect them. The end result is a flexible and highly scalable distributed algorithm for global routing. The method is able to accept as input target runtimes for its various phases and produce high-quality solution within these limits. Computational results show that for a target runtime of 75 minutes, running on a computational grid of few hundred CPUs with 2GB memory, the algorithm generates higher quality solutions than competing methods in the open literature.","PeriodicalId":87346,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

Under linear current constraints, the vectorless power grid verification problem can be formulated and solved as a linear programming (LP) problem. However, previous approaches suffer from long runtime due to the large problem size. In this paper, we design the DualVD algorithm that efficiently computes the worst-case voltage drops in an RC power grid. Our algorithm combines a novel dual approach to solve the LP problem, and a preconditioned conjugate gradient power grid analyzer. Our dual approach exploits the structure of the problem to simplify its dual problem into a convex problem, which is then solved by the cutting-plane method. Experimental results show that our algorithm is extremely efficient - it takes less than an hour to complete the verification of a power grid with more than 50 K nodes and it takes less than 1 second to verify one node in a power grid with more than 500 K nodes.","PeriodicalId":87346,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

Due to sheer design complexity, it is nearly impossible to detect and fix all bugs before manufacture. Post-silicon validation is a major challenge for future systems. Today, it is largely viewed as an art with very few systematic solutions. As a result, post-silicon validation is an emerging research topic with several exciting opportunities for major innovations in electronic design automation. In this paper, we provide an overview of the post-silicon validation problem and how it differs from traditional pre-silicon verification and manufacturing testing. We also discuss major postsilicon validation challenges and recent advances.","PeriodicalId":87346,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

The current practice of embedding the key as digital data in the integrated circuit (IC) weakens these security protocols because the keys can be learned through attacks. Physical unclonable functions (PUFs) are a recent alternative to storing digital keys on the IC. A PUF leverages the inherent manufacturing variations of an IC to define a random function. Given environmental variations such as temperature and supply noise, PUF quality criteria such as reproducibility and the level of randomness in the responses may be difficult to achieve for a given PUF circuit architecture. In this paper, we evaluate a PUF derived from the power distribution system of an IC with regard to a set of quality metrics including single-bit and collision probability and entropy. The analysis is carried out using data obtained from 36 chips fabricated in IBM's 65 nm SOI technology.","PeriodicalId":87346,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

Compared to the traditional design, we aim at re-focusing the current design paradigm by placing the user behavior at the center of the design process and by using psychological variables such as user ability and motivation as the main drivers of this process. This allows systems to become more capable of promptly adapting to different users' needs and of enhancing short- and long-term user satisfaction. Preliminary results show the potential of this methodology for maximizing the users' positive experience when running embedded applications on multiprocessor platforms.","PeriodicalId":87346,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

The quantitative understanding of such complex power delivery networks (PDNs) is hampered by the large network complexity and interactions between passive on-die/package-level circuits and a multitude of nonlinear active regulators. We develop a fast combined GPU-CPU analysis engine encompassing several simulation strategies, optimized for various subcomponents of the network. Using accurate quantitative analysis, we demonstrate the significant performance improvement brought by on-chip low-dropout regulators (LDOs) in terms of suppressing high-frequency local voltage droops and avoiding the mid-frequency resonance caused by off-chip inductive par-asitics. We perform comprehensive analysis on the tradeoffs among overhead of on-chip LDOs, maximum voltage droop and overall power efficiency. We conduct systematic design optimization by developing a simulation-based nonlinear optimization strategy that determines the optimal number of on-chip LDOs required and on-board input voltage, and the corresponding voltage droop and power efficiency for PDNs with multiple power domains.","PeriodicalId":87346,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

We anticipate that the ability to tolerate multiple defects will be very important at 45nm and beyond. One common defect point is in the lookup table (LUT) configuration bits, which are crucial to the correct operation of FPGAs. In this work we will present an error analysis technique that is able to efficiently calculate the number of critical bits needed to implement each LUT. We will perform this analysis using a scalable overlapping window-based method called DCOW (Don't-care Computation with Overlapping Windows), which allows for accurate and efficient don't-care lower bound calculations. This new windowing technique can approximate the complete don't cares within 2.34%, and can be used for many logic synthesis operations. In particular, we apply DCOW to our FPGA mapping algorithm to reduce the number of possible faults. This will allow the design to have a much higher success of functioning correctly when implemented on a faulty FPGA. By using our algorithm, we are able to reduce the number of possible faults by more than 12% with no area increase.","PeriodicalId":87346,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

We propose a formal procedure that is applied after isolating the failing speedpaths which also incorporates post-silicon path-delay measurements for more accurate analysis. Our goal is to identify segments of the failing speedpaths that have a post-silicon delay larger than their estimated delays at the pre-silicon stage. We refer to such segments as “failing segments” and we rank them according to their degree of failure. Diagnosis of failing segments alleviates the problem of lack of observability inside a path. Moreover, root-cause analysis, and post-silicon tuning or repair, can be done more effectively by focusing on the failing segments. We propose an Integer Linear Programming formulation to breakdown a path into a set of non-failing segments, leaving the remaining to be likely-failing ones. Our algorithm yields a very high “diagnosis resolution” in identifying failing segments, and in ranking them.","PeriodicalId":87346,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.
