This tutorial will provide a bottom-up view of the changes in semiconductor memory design as we move into the nanometer regime. We begin by discussing the breakdown of scaling and the power problem. As innovation replaces classical scaling we investigate the use of stress engineering to improve device level performance. Technology challenges in lithography and interconnects are addressed. The consequences of innovation and scaling on RF/Analog characteristics must also be considered. The scaling of memory presents yet another challenge. We proceed to discuss the modeling of these effects for the circuit designer including discussion of the many new and traditional sources of variation. We describe how these are characterized how they can be controlled by layout rules and how the remaining variation can be describe in the model to enable Statistical Timing and other advanced circuit techniques. At the circuit level we consider in detail embedded DRAM and SRAM design for both bulk and SOI. We discuss the benefits and challenges of advanced technologies including methods for creating robust designs in the presence of manufacturing variation. We also discuss the design innovations required to utilize advanced technologies for overcoming the "memory wall", "power wall" and "ILP wall".

Efficient Linear Macromodeling via Discrete-Time Time-Domain Vector Fitting 基于离散时间时域向量拟合的高效线性宏建模
Pub Date : 2008-01-04 DOI: 10.1109/VLSI.2008.12
Chi-Un Lei, N. Wong
We present a discrete-time time-domain vector fitting algorithm, called TD-VFz, for rational function macromodeling of port-to-port responses with discrete time-sampled data. The core routine involves a two-step pole refinement process based on a linear least-squares solve and an eigenvalue problem. Applications in the macromodeling of practical circuits demonstrate that TD-VFz exhibits fast computation, excellent accuracy, and robustness against noisy data. We also utilize an quasi-error bound unique to the discrete-time setting to facilitate the determination of approximant model order.

Pub Date : 2008-01-04 DOI: 10.1109/VLSI.2008.132
V. Kathail, T. Miller
This tutorial will describe in detail and demonstrate an ESL design flow for architectural exploration to determine low power designs. Increasingly SoC design is driven by integrated mobile devices such as cell phones, music players and hand-held game consoles. These devices rely on standard algorithms such as H.264, 802.1 In, or JPEG2000, which allow room for innovative implementations that can result in differentiated products. An ESL design-flow that integrates application engine synthesis with an industry-leading RTL power estimation technology, such as Sequence Power Theater, enables a designer to explore multiple algorithms and architectures with different power profiles to determine the optimal algorithm-architecture combination in a very short period of time.

On the Use of Hash Tables for Efficient Analog Circuit Synthesis 哈希表在模拟电路合成中的应用
Pub Date : 2008-01-04 DOI: 10.1109/VLSI.2008.35
Almitra Pradhan, R. Vemuri
Achieving accurate and speedy circuit sizing is a challenge in automated analog synthesis. System matrix model based estimators predict circuit performance accurately. In this paper we employ hashing in conjunction with matrix models for faster synthesis convergence. With hash tables some matrix element recomputations are avoided, thus improving synthesis time. Hashing is effectively performed by dividing matrix elements into classes and building class-wise hash tables. Hash tables are updated over several synthesis runs which further expedites convergence. Experimental results show that the proposed method can provide 4x-6x speedup over that offered by synthesis approaches employing macromodels but no hashing.
实现准确和快速的电路尺寸是自动化模拟合成的一个挑战。基于系统矩阵模型的估计器能准确地预测电路性能。在本文中,我们将哈希与矩阵模型结合使用,以获得更快的综合收敛速度。哈希表避免了一些矩阵元素的重新计算,从而缩短了合成时间。通过将矩阵元素划分为类并构建类哈希表,可以有效地执行哈希。哈希表在几次合成运行中更新,这进一步加快了收敛速度。实验结果表明,与使用宏模型但不使用哈希的综合方法相比,该方法可以提供4 -6倍的加速。

Power Management of Interactive 3D Games Using Frame Structures 使用框架结构的交互式3D游戏的电源管理
Pub Date : 2008-01-04 DOI: 10.1109/VLSI.2008.102
Yan Gu, S. Chakraborty
We propose a novel dynamic voltage scaling (DVS) scheme that is specifically directed towards 3D graphics- intensive interactive game applications running on battery-operated portable devices. The key to this DVS scheme lies in parsing each game frame to estimate its rendering workload and then using such an estimate to scale the voltage/frequency of the underlying processor. The main novelty of this scheme stems from the fact that game frames offer a rich variety of "structural" information (e.g. number of brush and alias models, texture information and light maps) which can be exploited to estimate their processing workload. Although DVS has been extensively applied to video decoding applications, compressed video frames do not offer any information (beyond the frame types - I, B or P) that can be used in a similar manner to estimate their processing workload. As a result, DVS algorithms designed for video decoding mostly rely on control-theoretic feedback mechanisms, where the workload of a frame is predicted from the workloads of the previously-rendered frames. We show that compared to such history-based predictors, our proposed scheme performs significantly better for game applications. Our experimental results, based on the Quake II game engine running on Windows XP, show that for the same energy consumption our scheme results in more than 50% improvement in quality (measured in terms of number of frames meeting their deadlines) compared to history-based prediction schemes.
我们提出了一种新的动态电压缩放(DVS)方案,专门针对在电池供电的便携式设备上运行的3D图形密集型交互式游戏应用程序。此分布式交换机方案的关键在于解析每个游戏帧以估计其渲染工作量,然后使用该估计来缩放底层处理器的电压/频率。这个方案的主要新颖之处在于,游戏框架提供了丰富多样的“结构”信息(例如,画笔和别名模型的数量,纹理信息和光线贴图),这些信息可以用来估计它们的处理工作量。尽管分布式交换机已广泛应用于视频解码应用,但压缩视频帧不提供任何信息(除了帧类型- I, B或P),可以以类似的方式用于估计其处理工作量。因此,为视频解码设计的分布式交换机算法主要依赖于控制理论反馈机制,其中帧的工作负载是根据先前呈现帧的工作负载预测的。我们表明,与这些基于历史的预测器相比,我们提出的方案在游戏应用程序中表现得更好。我们基于Windows XP上运行的Quake II游戏引擎的实验结果表明,与基于历史的预测方案相比,在相同的能耗下,我们的方案的质量提高了50%以上(以满足截止日期的帧数衡量)。

This paper presents a new method for designing single error correcting Galois field multipliers over polynomial basis. The proposed method uses multiple parity prediction circuits to detect and correct logic errors and gives 100% fault coverage both in the functional unit and the parity prediction circuitry. Area, power and delay overhead for the proposed design technique is analyzed. It is found that compared to the traditional triple modular redundancy (TMR) techniques for single error correction the proposed technique is very cost efficient.

On Common-Mode Skewed-Load and Broadside Tests 关于共模偏载和舷侧试验
Pub Date : 2008-01-04 DOI: 10.1109/VLSI.2008.16
I. Pomeranz, S. Reddy, S. Kundu
Two-pattern tests for delay faults in standard scan circuits can be of one of two types: skewed-load or broadside. Each type of tests creates different conditions during test application due to the different way in which scan mode and functional mode are interleaved. Therefore, tests that are applicable both as skewed-load tests and as broadside tests are useful for comparing the two types of tests with respect to properties such as defect coverage or overtesting. In this work we investigate the possibility of generating tests that are applicable under both test application schemes. We refer to two-pattern tests that are applicable as both skewed-load and broadside tests as common-mode tests. We show that most benchmark circuits have sufficient numbers of common-mode tests to make them an interesting class of tests. Moreover, we show that the use of multiple scan chains increases the number of common-mode tests.
标准扫描电路中延迟故障的双模式测试可以是两种类型中的一种:斜负载或宽负载。由于扫描模式和功能模式交错的方式不同,每种类型的测试在测试应用期间会产生不同的条件。因此,对于比较两种类型的测试,例如缺陷覆盖率或过度测试,既适用于倾斜负载测试,也适用于宽边测试的测试是有用的。在这项工作中,我们研究了生成适用于两种测试应用方案的测试的可能性。我们将适用于斜载和宽侧测试的双模式测试称为共模测试。我们表明,大多数基准电路都有足够数量的共模测试,使它们成为一类有趣的测试。此外,我们表明,使用多个扫描链增加了共模测试的数量。

NBTI Degradation: A Problem or a Scare? NBTI退化:问题还是恐惧?
Pub Date : 2008-01-04 DOI: 10.1109/VLSI.2008.43

Negative bias temperature instability (NBTI) has been identified as a major and critical reliability issue for PMOS devices in nano-scale designs. It manifests as a negative threshold voltage shift, thereby degrading the performance of the PMOS devices over the lifetime of a circuit. In order to determine the quantitative impact of this phenomenon an accurate and tractable model is needed. In this paper we explore a novel and practical methodology for modeling NBTI degradation at the logic level for digital circuits. Its major contributions include i) a SPICE level simulation to identify stress on PMOS devices under varying input conditions for various gate types and ii) a gate level simulation methodology that is scalable and accurate for determining stress on large circuits. We validate the proposed logic level simulation methodology by showing that it is accurate within 1% of the reference model. Contrary to many other papers in this area, our experimental results show that the overall delay degradation of large digital circuits due to NBTI is relatively small.
负偏置温度不稳定性(NBTI)已被确定为PMOS器件在纳米级设计中主要和关键的可靠性问题。它表现为负阈值电压移位,从而降低了PMOS器件在电路寿命期间的性能。为了确定这一现象的定量影响,需要一个准确和易于处理的模型。在本文中,我们探索了一种新颖实用的方法来模拟数字电路的逻辑级NBTI退化。其主要贡献包括i) SPICE级仿真,用于识别各种栅极类型的PMOS器件在不同输入条件下的应力;ii)栅极级仿真方法,可扩展且准确地确定大型电路的应力。我们通过表明它在参考模型的1%以内的精度来验证所提出的逻辑级仿真方法。与该领域的许多其他论文相反,我们的实验结果表明,由于NBTI导致的大型数字电路的总体延迟退化相对较小。

An Elitist Non-Dominated Sorting Based Genetic Algorithm for Simultaneous Area and Wirelength Minimization in VLSI Floorplanning 基于精英非支配排序的超大规模集成电路平面规划中面积和长度同时最小化的遗传算法
Pub Date : 2008-01-04 DOI: 10.1109/VLSI.2008.97
Pradeep Fernando, S. Katkoori
VLSI floor-planning in the gigascale era must deal with multiple objectives including wiring congestion, performance and reliability. Genetic algorithms lend themselves naturally to multi-objective optimization. In this paper, a multi-objective genetic algorithm is proposed for floorplanning that simultaneously minimizes area and total wirelength. The proposed genetic floorplanner is the first to use non-domination concepts to rank solutions. Two novel crossover operators are presented that build floorplans using good sub-floorplans. The efficiency of the proposed approach is illustrated by the 18% wirelength savings and 4.6% area savings obtained for the GSRC benchmarks and 26% wirelength savings for the MCNC benchmarks for a marginal 1.3% increase in area when compared to previous floorplanners that perform simultaneous area and wirelength minimization.
千兆级时代的VLSI地板规划必须处理布线拥塞、性能和可靠性等多个目标。遗传算法天生适合多目标优化。本文提出了一种多目标遗传算法,以实现面积和总长度的最小化。提出的遗传地板规划器是第一个使用非支配概念对解决方案进行排序的。提出了两种新的交叉算子,利用良好的子平面来构建平面。与之前的地板规划者相比,该方法的效率体现在GSRC基准测试中节省了18%的带宽和4.6%的面积,在MCNC基准测试中节省了26%的带宽,而面积仅增加了1.3%。
