Methodology, EDA flow, scripts, and documentation play a tremendous role in the deployment and standardization of advanced design techniques. In this paper we focus not only on leakage reduction techniques but also on their deployment as a worldwide infrastructure as the added-value resides not only in the techniques themselves but also in the way they are implemented to build an efficient, re-usable, robust, low cost and portable platform. Techniques have been silicon proven on the 90-nm TI CMOS technology and is commonly used to design SoC with complexities over 100 million transistors.
方法学、EDA流、脚本和文档在高级设计技术的部署和标准化中发挥着巨大的作用。在本文中,我们不仅关注减少泄漏的技术,而且关注它们作为全球基础设施的部署,因为附加值不仅在于技术本身,还在于它们的实现方式,以构建高效、可重用、健壮、低成本和便携式平台。技术已经在90纳米TI CMOS技术上进行了硅验证,通常用于设计复杂性超过1亿个晶体管的SoC。

On-chip supply networks are playing an increasingly important role for modern nanometer-scale designs. However, the ever growing sizes of power grids make the analysis problem extremely difficult thereby introducing severe challenges in design and optimization. The inherent analysis complexity calls for innovations in simulation techniques that must provide appropriate accuracy, efficiency as well as the tradeoff thereof to aid design verification and optimization. In this paper, we first present a sampling-based sensitivity analysis by employing the notation of importance sampling in a Monte Carlo based circuit simulation framework. This technique allows the extraction of multi-parameter sensitivities for the node voltages of interest in the same Monte Carlo runs that are used for computing the nominal voltage values. For more efficient nonstructured whole-grid solution approaches, we further introduce a new direct solution method by embedding symbolic relaxation steps in a hierarchical fashion. As a direct method, the proposed hierarchical symbolic relaxation is suitable to both DC and transient analyses. Circuit examples are included to demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed techniques.
片上供应网络在现代纳米级设计中发挥着越来越重要的作用。然而,电网规模的不断扩大使得分析问题变得极其困难,从而给设计和优化带来了严峻的挑战。固有的分析复杂性要求仿真技术的创新,必须提供适当的准确性,效率以及权衡,以帮助设计验证和优化。在本文中,我们首先在基于蒙特卡罗的电路仿真框架中采用重要采样符号提出了基于采样的灵敏度分析。该技术允许在用于计算标称电压值的相同蒙特卡罗运行中提取感兴趣的节点电压的多参数灵敏度。对于更有效的非结构化全网格求解方法,我们进一步引入了一种新的直接求解方法,即以分层方式嵌入符号松弛步骤。作为一种直接的方法,所提出的分层符号松弛既适用于直流分析,也适用于瞬态分析。包括电路实例,以证明所提出的技术的有效性。

The authors presented an efficient search strategy for satisfiability checking on circuits represented at the register-transfer-level (RTL). The authors used the RTL circuit structure by extending concepts from classic automatic test-pattern generation (ATPG) algorithms and interval-arithmetic to guide the search process. The idea of Boolean recursive learning was extended on predicate logic in the RTL using Boolean and interval constraint propagation in the control and data-path of the circuit. This is used as a pre-processing step to derive relations between predicate logic signals that are used to augment the search. It is demonstrated experimentally that these methods provide significant improvement over current techniques on sample benchmarks.
作者提出了一种有效的搜索策略,用于在寄存器-传输级(RTL)表示的电路上进行可满足性检查。作者通过扩展经典的自动测试模式生成(ATPG)算法和区间算法的概念,使用RTL电路结构来指导搜索过程。将布尔递归学习的思想扩展到RTL中的谓词逻辑上,在电路的控制和数据路径中使用布尔约束和区间约束传播。这被用作预处理步骤,以派生用于增强搜索的谓词逻辑信号之间的关系。实验表明,这些方法在样本基准测试上比现有技术有了显著的改进。

Physically-aware HW-SW partitioning for reconfigurable architectures with partial dynamic reconfiguration 物理感知的HW-SW分区,用于可重新配置的体系结构,具有部分动态重新配置

Many reconfigurable architectures offer partial dynamic configurability, but current system-level tools cannot guarantee feasible implementations when exploiting this feature. We present a physically aware hardware-software (HW-SW) scheme for minimizing application execution time under HW resource constraints, where the HW is a reconfigurable architecture with partial dynamic reconfiguration capability. Such architectures impose strict placement constraints that lead to implementation infeasibility of even optimal scheduling formulations that ignore the nature of these constraints. We propose an exact and a heuristic formulation that simultaneously partition, schedule, and do linear placement of tasks on such architectures. With our exact formulation, we prove the critical nature of placement constraints. We demonstrate that our heuristic generates high-quality schedules by comparing the results with the exact formulation for small tests and a popular, but placement-unaware scheduling heuristic for larger tests. With a case study, we demonstrate extension of our approach to handle heterogenous architectures with specialized resources distributed between general purpose programmable logic columns. The execution time of our heuristic is very reasonable - task graphs with hundreds of nodes are processed in a couple of minutes.
许多可重构架构提供部分动态可配置性,但当前的系统级工具在利用该特性时不能保证可行的实现。我们提出了一种物理感知的硬件软件(HW- sw)方案,用于在硬件资源约束下最大限度地减少应用程序的执行时间,其中硬件是一个具有部分动态重新配置能力的可重构架构。这样的体系结构施加了严格的放置约束,导致即使是忽略这些约束的本质的最优调度公式的实现也不可行。我们提出了一个精确的启发式公式,可以同时对这样的架构上的任务进行分区、调度和线性放置。通过我们的精确公式,我们证明了放置约束的关键性质。我们通过比较小型测试的精确公式和大型测试的流行但不考虑位置的调度启发式的结果,来证明我们的启发式生成高质量的调度。通过一个案例研究,我们演示了使用分布在通用可编程逻辑列之间的专用资源来处理异构体系结构的方法的扩展。我们的启发式算法的执行时间非常合理,几百个节点的任务图在几分钟内就能处理完毕。

From myth to methodology: cross-layer design for energy-efficient wireless communication 从神话到方法论:节能无线通信的跨层设计

During the last decade, wireless communication has seen a trend towards application diversification leading to a significant growth in users. With the availability of - however energy-limited - nomadic devices and real-time multimedia applications, user demand is shifting from simply asking for higher data rates to more complex requirements in terms of quality of service (QoS) and energy-efficiency. In this new context energy management is becoming a key success factor. Optimized energy-efficiency requires an energy management that continuously trades off QoS and energy adapting to varying user expectations and environment dynamics. But, QoS can only be evaluated on top of the whole protocol stack while energy consumption largely appears at the lower layers. To minimize overhead during the transitions between layers, we need to address the problem from a cross-layer perspective. We present a methodology that, based on systematic exploration, effective problem partitioning and minimal cross-layer interface, allows energy management in a cross-layer way, while maintaining efficient layered semantics. Different case studies in the context of wireless LAN (WLAN) for multimedia and data traffic transport are discussed, to show how cross-layer energy management can easily be included in systems running state-of-the-art protocols.
在过去十年中,无线通信呈现出应用多样化的趋势,导致用户显著增长。随着移动设备和实时多媒体应用的出现,用户的需求正在从简单地要求更高的数据速率转变为对服务质量(QoS)和能源效率的更复杂的要求。在这种新的背景下,能量管理正成为一个关键的成功因素。优化的能源效率需要不断权衡QoS和适应不同用户期望和环境动态的能源管理。但是,QoS只能在整个协议栈的顶部进行评估,而能量消耗主要出现在较低的层。为了最小化层间转换期间的开销,我们需要从跨层的角度来解决这个问题。我们提出了一种基于系统探索、有效问题划分和最小跨层接口的方法,允许以跨层方式进行能源管理,同时保持有效的分层语义。讨论了用于多媒体和数据传输的无线局域网(WLAN)环境中的不同案例研究,以展示如何轻松地将跨层能源管理包含在运行最先进协议的系统中。

In this paper, we present a method for analyzing the leakage current, and hence the leakage power, of a circuit under process parameter variations that can include spatial correlations due to intra-chip variation. A lognormal distribution is used to approximate the leakage current of each gate and the total chip leakage is determined by summing up the lognormals. In this work, both subthreshold leakage and gate tunneling leakage are considered. The proposed method is shown to be effective in predicting the CDF/PDF of the total chip leakage. The average errors for mean and sigma values are -1.3% and -4.1%.

This paper presents a new method for designing test wrappers for embedded cores with multiple clock domains. By exploiting the use of multiple shift frequencies, the proposed method improves upon a recent wrapper design method that requires a common shift frequency for the scan elements in the different clock domains. The authors presented an integer linear programming (ILP) model that could be used to minimize the testing time for small problem instances. An efficient heuristic method that is applicable to large problem instances, and which yields the same (optimal) testing time as ILP for small problem instances was also presented. Compared to recent work on wrapper design using a single shift frequency, lower testing times were obtained and the reduction in testing time is especially significant under power constraints.

A combined feasibility and performance macromodel for analog circuits 模拟电路可行性与性能相结合的宏模型

The need to reuse the performance macromodels of an analog circuit topology challenges existing regression based modeling techniques. A model of good reusability should have a number of independent design parameters and each parameter can vary in a large numeric range. On the other hand, these requirements can cause a large percentage of functionally incorrect designs in the design space and thus results in a sparse feasible design space. They also complicate the mathematical relationship between the performance parameters and the design parameters. In order to tackle these challenges, this paper presents a combined feasibility and performance macromodel based on support vector machines (SVMs). The feasibility model identifies the feasible designs that satisfy the design constraints. The performance macromodel is valid for feasible designs. Feasibility macromodeling is formulated as a classification problem while performance macromelting as a regression problem. An active learning scheme (Ding, et al., 2005) has been applied to improve the accuracy of the feasibility model much faster than only using uniformly distributed designs in the entire design space. The experiment of the authors showed that the performance macromodels in the feasible design space are more accurate and faster to construct and evaluate than performance macromodels in the entire design space without functional or performance constraints considered.
重用模拟电路拓扑的性能宏模型的需求对现有的基于回归的建模技术提出了挑战。具有良好可重用性的模型应该具有许多独立的设计参数,并且每个参数可以在很大的数值范围内变化。另一方面,这些需求可能导致设计空间中很大比例的功能不正确的设计,从而导致稀疏的可行设计空间。它们还使性能参数与设计参数之间的数学关系复杂化。为了解决这些问题,本文提出了一种基于支持向量机(svm)的可行性与性能相结合的宏模型。可行性模型识别满足设计约束的可行设计。性能宏模型对于可行的设计是有效的。可行性宏建模是一个分类问题,而性能宏建模是一个回归问题。一种主动学习方案(Ding, et al., 2005)被应用于提高可行性模型的准确性,比在整个设计空间中只使用均匀分布的设计要快得多。实验表明,在可行设计空间中的性能宏模型比在不考虑功能或性能约束的整个设计空间中的性能宏模型更准确、更快地构建和评估。

From the IC industry's standpoint, the incubation of formal methods for deployment in EDA verification flows has been very long and is still occurring. Formal methods applied at functional verification have interpreted different roles and finally have federated with simulation for the purpose of achieving coverage closure. Commercially available IP's and custom IP's have very often been exposed to sneaky bugs. Having correct IP's is not enough for verifying the correctness of the whole system. Formal methods have to extend their effectiveness by including the so called transactional level models (TLM) in their analysis, that abstract the mechanisms that SoC blocks use to communicate and synchronize among themselves. Two major problems have to be faced: the first is that TLM includes a range of abstraction levels and the second is that a mapping between TLM assertions and RTL assertions should be provided and formally proven.
从集成电路行业的角度来看,在EDA验证流程中部署正式方法的孵化已经很长时间了,而且仍在进行中。应用于功能验证的形式化方法解释了不同的角色,并最终与模拟联合起来,以达到覆盖关闭的目的。商业IP和自定义IP经常暴露于隐蔽的漏洞。拥有正确的IP并不足以验证整个系统的正确性。正式方法必须通过在其分析中包含所谓的事务级模型(TLM)来扩展其有效性,这些模型抽象了SoC块之间用于通信和同步的机制。必须面对两个主要问题:第一个问题是TLM包括一系列抽象级别,第二个问题是应该提供TLM断言和RTL断言之间的映射并正式证明。
