Partially runtime-reconfigurable (PRTR) FPGAs allow hardware tasks to be placed and removed dynamically at runtime. We present an efficient algorithm for finding the complete set of maximal empty rectangles on a 2D PRTR FPGA, which is useful for online placement and scheduling of HW tasks. The algorithm is incremental and only updates the local region affected by each task addition or removal event. We use simulation experiments to evaluate its performance and compare to related work

This paper presents pipelined implementation of a real time programmable irregular low density parity check (LDPC) encoder as specified in the IEEE P802.16E/D7 standard. The encoder is programmable for frame sizes from 576 to 2304 and for five different code rates. H matrix is efficiently generated and stored for a particular frame size and code rate. The encoder is implemented on reconfigurable instruction cell architecture which has recently emerged as an ultra low power, high performance, ANSI-C programmable embedded core. Different general and architecture specific optimization techniques are applied to enhance the throughput. With the architecture, a throughput from 10 to 19 Mbps has been achieved. The maximum throughput achieved with pipelining/multi-core is 78 Mbps

In this paper, a two-step methodology is introduced to analyse the mapping of cyclostationary feature detection (CFD) onto a multi-core processing platform. In the first step, the tasks to be executed by each core are determined in a structured way using techniques known from the design of array processors. In the second step, the implementation of tasks on a processing core is analysed. Using this methodology, it is shown that calculating a 127 times 127 discrete spectral correlation function requires approximately 140 mus on a tiled system on chip (SoC) with 4 Montium cores

A Smooth Refinement Flow for Co-designing HW and SW Threads 协同设计软硬件线程的平滑细化流程

Separation of HW and SW design flows represents a critical aspect in the development of embedded systems. Co-verification becomes necessary, thus implying the development of complex co-simulation strategies. This paper presents a refinement flow that delays as much as possible the separation between HW and SW concurrent entities (threads), allowing their differentiation, but preserving an homogeneous simulation environment. The approach relies on SystemC as the unique reference language. However, SystemC threads, corresponding to the SW application, are simulated outside the control of the SystemC simulation kernel to exploit the typical features of multi-threading real-time operating systems running on embedded systems. On the contrary HW threads maintain the original simulation semantics of SystemC. This allows designers to effectively tune the SW application before HW/SW partitioning, leaving to an automatic procedure the SW generation, thus avoiding error-prone and time-consuming manual conversions
硬件和软件设计流程的分离是嵌入式系统开发的一个重要方面。共同验证是必要的,这意味着复杂的共同仿真策略的发展。本文提出了一个细化流程,尽可能延迟硬件和软件并发实体(线程)之间的分离,允许它们区分,但保留同质的模拟环境。该方法依赖于SystemC作为唯一的参考语言。但是,与软件应用程序相对应的SystemC线程在SystemC仿真内核的控制之外进行模拟,以利用在嵌入式系统上运行的多线程实时操作系统的典型特性。相反,HW线程保持SystemC的原始仿真语义。这允许设计人员在硬件/软件分区之前有效地调整软件应用程序,将软件生成留给自动过程,从而避免容易出错和耗时的手动转换

Forward-error correction (FEC) is of key importance to the robustness of optical communication networks. In particular, inband-FEC is an attractive option, because it improves channel-performance without requiring an increase of the transmission bandwidth. We have devised and implemented a novel inband FEC method, dubbed FOCUS, for the electronic-mitigation of physical impairments in SDH/SONET optical networks. It is an inherently low-cost approach for both the metro and backbone network regions, scalable to any SDH/SONET rate and capable to significantly increase optical channel performance. This paper analyzes the most sophisticated ones from the plethora of optimizations that were employed to minimize the architectural complexity of FOCUS, falling in: a) Arithmetic operator design, b) Resource sharing and c) Redundant logic elimination. These optimizations were necessary to obtain a prototype, which eventually permitted the first fully successful laboratory evaluation of the FOCUS inband-FEC method
前向纠错(FEC)对光通信网络的鲁棒性至关重要。特别是,带内fec是一个有吸引力的选择,因为它在不需要增加传输带宽的情况下提高了信道性能。我们设计并实现了一种新的带内FEC方法,称为FOCUS,用于SDH/SONET光网络中物理损伤的电子缓解。它是城域网和骨干网区域固有的低成本方法,可扩展到任何SDH/SONET速率,并能够显着提高光信道性能。本文从减少FOCUS架构复杂性的大量优化中分析了最复杂的优化,包括:a)算术运算符设计,b)资源共享和c)冗余逻辑消除。这些优化是获得原型所必需的,最终允许FOCUS在带内fec方法的第一次完全成功的实验室评估

A set of behavioral voltage-domain verilogA/verilog models allowing a systematic design of the ΣΔ fractional-N frequency synthesizer is discussed in the paper. The approach allows the designer to accurately predict the dynamic or stable characteristic of the closed loop by including nonlinear effects of building blocks in the models. The proposed models are implemented in a three-order ΣΔ fractional-N PLL based frequency synthesizer with a 60MHz frequency tuning range. Cadence SpectreVerilog simulation results show that behavioral modeling can provide a great speed-up over circuit-level simulation. Synchronously, the phase noise, spurs and settling time can also be accurately predicted, so it is helpful to a grasp of the fundamentals at the early stage of the design and optimization design at the system level. The key simulation results have been compared against measured results obtained from an actual prototype validating the effectiveness of the proposed models

Evaluation of test measures for LNA production testing using a multinormal statistical model 用多正态统计模型评价LNA生产测试的测试措施

For design-for-test (DFT) purposes, analogue and mixed-signal testing has to cope with the difficulty of test evaluation before production. This paper aims at evaluating test measures for RF components in order to optimize production test sets and thus reduce test cost. For this, we have first developed a statistical model of the performances and possible test measures of the circuit under test (a low noise amplifier). The statistical multi-normal model is derived from data obtained using Monte-Carlo circuit simulation (five hundred iterations). This statistical model is then used to generate a larger circuit population (one million instances) from which test metrics can be estimated with ppm precision at the design stage, considering just process deviations. With the use of this model, a trade-off between defect level and yield loss resulting from process deviations is used to set test limits. After fixing test limits, we have carried out a fault simulation campaign to verify the suitability of the different test measurements, targeting both catastrophic and single parametric faults. Catastrophic faults are modelled by shorts and opens. A parametric fault is defined as the minimum value of a physical parameter that causes a specification to be violated. Test metrics are then evaluated for the LNA case-study. As a result, test metrics for functional measurements such as S-parameters and noise figure are compared with low cost test measurements such as RMS and peak-to-peak current consumption and output voltage, input/output impedance, and the correlation between current consumption and output voltage
为了测试设计(DFT)的目的,模拟和混合信号测试必须在生产前处理测试评估的困难。本文旨在评估射频组件的测试措施,以优化生产测试集,从而降低测试成本。为此,我们首先开发了一个统计模型,用于测试电路(低噪声放大器)的性能和可能的测试措施。统计多正态模型是根据蒙特卡罗电路仿真(500次迭代)得到的数据推导出来的。然后,这个统计模型被用来生成一个更大的电路群(一百万个实例),从这个模型中可以在设计阶段以ppm的精度估计测试指标,只考虑过程偏差。通过使用该模型,在缺陷水平和由工艺偏差导致的产量损失之间进行权衡,以设置测试限制。在确定测试限制后,我们进行了故障模拟活动,以验证不同测试测量的适用性,针对灾难性和单参数故障。灾难性断层的模型是短断层和开口断层。参数故障被定义为导致违反规格的物理参数的最小值。然后为LNA案例研究评估测试度量。因此,将s参数和噪声系数等功能测量的测试指标与RMS、峰对峰电流消耗和输出电压、输入/输出阻抗以及电流消耗和输出电压之间的相关性等低成本测试测量进行比较

As CMOS IC feature sizes shrink down to the nanometer regime, the need for more efficient test methods capable of dealing with new failure mechanisms increases. Advances in this domain require a detailed knowledge of these failure physical properties and the development of appropriated test methods. Several works have shown the relative increase of resistive defects (both opens and shorts), and that they mainly affect circuit timing rather than impacting its static DC behavior. Defect evolution, together with the increase of parameter variations, represents a serious challenge for traditional delay test methods based on fixed time delay limit setting. One alternative to deal with variation relies on adopting correlation where test limits for one parameter are settled based on its correspondence to other circuit variables. In particular, the correlation of circuit delay to reduced V DD has been proposed as a useful test method. In this work the authors investigate the merits of this technique for future technologies where variation is predicted to increase, analyzing the possibilities of detecting resistive shorts and opens
随着CMOS集成电路特征尺寸缩小到纳米级,对能够处理新的失效机制的更有效的测试方法的需求增加。在这一领域的进步需要对这些失效物理特性的详细了解和适当测试方法的开发。一些研究表明电阻性缺陷(开路和短路)的相对增加,并且它们主要影响电路定时而不是影响其静态直流行为。缺陷的演变和参数变化的增加,对传统的基于固定时间延迟极限设置的延迟测试方法提出了严峻的挑战。处理变化的一种替代方法依赖于采用相关性,其中一个参数的测试极限是根据其与其他电路变量的对应关系来确定的。特别是,电路延迟与降低的电压DD的相关性已被提出作为一种有用的测试方法。在这项工作中,作者研究了这种技术在预测变化会增加的未来技术中的优点,分析了检测电阻性短路和开路的可能性

Low-Overhead Circuit Synthesis for Temperature Adaptation Using Dynamic Voltage Scheduling 基于动态电压调度的温度自适应低负载电路合成
Pub Date : 2007-04-16 DOI: 10.1145/1266366.1266702

Increasing power density causes die overheating due to limited cooling capacity of the package. Conventional thermal management techniques e.g. logic shutdown, clock gating, frequency scaling, simultaneous voltage-frequency tuning etc. increase the design complexity and/or degrade the performance significantly. In this paper, the authors propose a novel design technique, which makes a circuit amenable to temperature adaptation using dynamic voltage scheduling (DVS). It is accomplished by a synthesis technique that (a) isolates and predicts the set of paths that may become critical under variations, (b) ensures they are activated rarely, and (c) tolerates possible delay failures (at reduced voltage) in these paths by adaptive clock stretching. This allows us to schedule a lower supply voltage during increased temperature without requiring frequency tuning. Simulation results on an example pipeline show that proposed design yields similar temperature reduction as conventional design with only 11% performance penalty and 14% area overhead. The conventional pipeline design, on contrary, leads to 50% performance degradation due to reduced operating frequency
由于封装的冷却能力有限,功率密度的增加会导致芯片过热。传统的热管理技术,如逻辑关闭、时钟门控、频率缩放、同步电压频率调谐等,增加了设计复杂性和/或显著降低了性能。本文提出了一种新的设计方法,利用动态电压调度(DVS)使电路适应温度自适应。它是通过一种合成技术来完成的,(a)隔离和预测可能在变化下变得关键的路径集,(b)确保它们很少被激活,(c)通过自适应时钟拉伸在这些路径中容忍可能的延迟故障(在降低电压下)。这使我们能够在温度升高时安排较低的电源电压,而不需要频率调谐。在一个示例管道上的仿真结果表明,该设计与传统设计的温度降低效果相似,性能损失仅为11%,面积开销仅为14%。相反,由于工作频率降低,传统的管道设计会导致50%的性能下降
