Defect repair has become a necessary process to enhance the overall yield for memories since manufacturing a natural good memory is difficult in current memory technologies. This paper presents an yield-estimation scheme, which utilizes an induction-based approach to calculate the probability that all defects in a memory can be successfully repaired by a two-dimensional redundancy design. Unlike previous works, which rely on a time-consuming simulation to estimate the expected yield, our yield-estimation scheme only requires scalable mathematical computation and can achieve a high accuracy with limited time and space complexity. Also, the proposed estimation scheme can consider the impact of single defects, column defects, and row defects simultaneously. With the help of the proposed yield-estimation scheme, we can effectively identify the most profitable redundancy configuration for large memory designs within few seconds while it may take several hours or even days by using conventional simulation approach.
由于目前的存储器技术很难制造出天然的良好存储器,因此缺陷修复已成为提高存储器整体产量的必要过程。本文提出了一种产量估计方案,该方案利用基于归纳的方法,通过二维冗余设计计算存储器中所有缺陷都能成功修复的概率。与以往依靠耗时的模拟来估计期望产量的工作不同,我们的产量估计方案只需要可扩展的数学计算,并且可以在有限的时间和空间复杂度下实现高精度。此外,所提出的估计方案可以同时考虑单缺陷、列缺陷和行缺陷的影响。利用所提出的产出估计方案,我们可以在几秒钟内有效地识别出大内存设计中最有利的冗余配置,而传统的模拟方法可能需要几个小时甚至几天的时间。

In this paper we explore the problem of scheduling and allocation for asynchronous systems under latency, area, energy, and power constraints, and present exact methods for minimizing an implementation for either latency, area, or energy. This approach utilizes the the branch-and-bound strategy developed in [1], but targets a much more robust solution space by incorporating many-to-many mappings of operations to function units and energy and power considerations into the search space. Unlike many recent solutions that adapt synchronous methods to the asynchronous realm, our approach specifically targets the asynchronous domain. As a result, our solver's complexity and performance are independent of the discretization of time. We illustrate the effectiveness of this approach by running 36 different test cases on small and large input specifications; results are produced in 60 seconds or less for each example.
在本文中,我们探讨了异步系统在延迟、面积、能量和功率约束下的调度和分配问题,并给出了最小化延迟、面积或能量实现的精确方法。该方法利用了[1]中开发的分支定界策略,但通过将操作到功能单元的多对多映射以及能量和功率考虑纳入搜索空间,目标是更健壮的解决方案空间。与最近许多将同步方法应用于异步领域的解决方案不同,我们的方法专门针对异步领域。因此,求解器的复杂度和性能与时间离散无关。我们通过在大小输入规范上运行36个不同的测试用例来说明这种方法的有效性;对于每个示例,结果将在60秒或更短时间内生成。

This paper introduces a distributed and shared memory parallel projection based model order reduction framework for parameterized linear systems. The proposed methodology is based on a sampling scheme followed by a projection to build the reduced model. It exploits the parallel nature of the sampling methods to improve the efficiency of the basis generation. The sample selection scheme uses the residue as a proxy for the model error in order to improve automation and maximize the effectiveness of the sampling step. This yields an automatic and reliable methodology, able to handle large systems depending on the frequency and multiple parameters. The framework can be used in shared and distributed memory architectures separately or in conjunction. It is able to deal with different system representations and models of different characteristics, is highly scalable and the parallelization is very effective, as will be demonstrated on a variety of industrial benchmarks, with super linear speed-ups in certain cases. The methodology provides the potential to tackle large and complex models, depending on multiple parameters in an automatic fashion.
介绍了一种基于分布式共享内存并行投影的参数化线性系统模型降阶框架。所提出的方法是基于一个抽样方案,然后是一个投影来建立简化模型。它利用采样方法的并行性来提高基生成的效率。样本选择方案使用残差作为模型误差的代理,以提高自动化程度并最大化采样步骤的有效性。这产生了一种自动和可靠的方法,能够处理依赖于频率和多个参数的大型系统。该框架可以单独用于共享和分布式内存体系结构,也可以结合使用。它能够处理不同的系统表示和不同特征的模型,具有高度可扩展性,并行化非常有效,正如在各种工业基准测试中所展示的那样,在某些情况下具有超线性加速。该方法提供了处理大型和复杂模型的潜力,以自动方式依赖于多个参数。

In-place decomposition for robustness in FPGA FPGA鲁棒性的原位分解
Pub Date : 2010-11-07 DOI: 10.1109/ICCAD.2010.5654113
Ju-Yueh Lee, Zhe Feng, Lei He
The programmable logic block (PLB) in a modern FPGA features a built-in carry chain (or adder) and a decomposable LUT, where such an LUT may be decomposed into two or more smaller LUTs. Leveraging decomposable LUTs and underutilized carry chains, we propose to decompose a logic function in a PLB into two subfunctions and to combine the subfunctions via a carry chain to make the circuit more robust against single-event upsets(SEUs). Note that such decomposition can be implemented using the decomposable LUT and carry chain in the original PLB without changing the PLB-level placement and routing. Therefore, it is an in-place decomposition (IPD) with no area and timing overhead at the PLB level and has an ideal design closure between logic and physical syntheses. For 10 largest combinational MCNC benchmark circuits with a conservative 20% utilization rate for carry chain, IPD improves MTTF (mean time to failure) by 1.43 and 2.70 times respectively, for PLBs similar to those in Xilinx Virtex-5 and Altera Stratix-IV.
现代FPGA中的可编程逻辑块(PLB)具有内置进位链(或加法器)和可分解的LUT,其中这样的LUT可以分解为两个或多个较小的LUT。利用可分解的lut和未充分利用的进位链,我们建议将PLB中的逻辑函数分解为两个子函数,并通过进位链将子函数组合起来,使电路对单事件干扰(seu)更具鲁棒性。注意,这种分解可以使用原始PLB中的可分解LUT和携带链来实现,而无需改变PLB级别的放置和路由。因此,它是一种就地分解(IPD),在PLB级没有面积和时间开销,并且在逻辑和物理合成之间具有理想的设计封闭。对于10个最大的组合MCNC基准电路,携带链的保守利用率为20%,对于与Xilinx Virtex-5和Altera Stratix-IV相似的plb, IPD分别将MTTF(平均故障时间)提高了1.43倍和2.70倍。

Optimization for power is always one of the most important design objectives in modern nanometer IC design. Recent studies have shown the effectiveness of applying multi-bit flip-flops to save the power consumption of the clock network. However, all the previous works applied multi-bit flip-flops at earlier design stages, which could be very difficult to carry out the trade-off among power, timing, and other design objectives. This paper presents a novel power optimization method by incrementally applying more multi-bit flip-flops at the post-placement stage to gain more clock power saving while considering the placement density and timing slack constraints, and simultaneously minimizing interconnecting wirelength. Experimental results based on the industry benchmark circuits show that our approach is very effective and efficient, which can be seamlessly integrated in modern design flow.
功率优化一直是现代纳米集成电路设计中最重要的设计目标之一。近年来的研究表明,采用多比特触发器可以有效地节省时钟网络的功耗。然而,之前的所有工作都是在早期设计阶段应用多比特触发器,这可能很难在功率、时序和其他设计目标之间进行权衡。本文提出了一种新的功耗优化方法,在考虑放置密度和时间松弛约束的同时,在放置后阶段逐步使用更多的多位触发器,以获得更多的时钟功耗节约,同时最小化互连无线长度。基于行业基准电路的实验结果表明,我们的方法是非常有效和高效的,可以无缝地集成到现代设计流程中。

Enno Wein
Multicore architectures have become ubiquitous in the recent years. Yet, traditional serial programming techniques cannot exploit their potential because they do not express the dependencies of the tasks clearly rendering them unsuitable for any system which can execute tasks in parallel. We present a methodology which enables designers to explicitly and separately express function, communication and platform aspects. The approach allows to explore all aspects of a system without even building virtual prototypes or platform-dependent code. A bottleneck analysis and resolution leads to a well matched hardware/software partitioning as a basis for subsequent HW and SW design.
近年来,多核架构变得无处不在。然而,传统的串行编程技术不能发挥它们的潜力,因为它们不能清楚地表达任务的依赖关系,使得它们不适合任何可以并行执行任务的系统。我们提出了一种方法,使设计师能够明确地、分别地表达功能、通信和平台方面。这种方法允许探索系统的所有方面,甚至不需要构建虚拟原型或依赖于平台的代码。瓶颈分析和解决导致硬件/软件分区匹配良好,作为后续硬件和软件设计的基础。

Credit Borrow and Repay: Sharing DRAM with minimum latency and bandwidth guarantees 信用借贷和偿还:以最小延迟和带宽保证共享DRAM

Multi-port memory controllers (MPMC) play an important role in system-on-chips by coordinating accesses from different subsystems to shared DRAMs. The main challenge of MPMC design is optimize quality-of-service by simultaneously satisfying different-and often competing-requirements, including bandwidth and latency. While previous works have attempted to address the challenge, the proposed solutions are heuristic and often cannot provide bandwidth and/or latency guarantees. In this paper, we propose a new technique called Credit-Borrow-and-Repay (CBR) that augments a dynamic scheduling algorithm drawn from the networking community, improving it to achieve minimum latency while preserving minimum bandwidth guarantees. Our experiments show that on typical multimedia workloads, the cache response latency can be improved as much as 2.5X.
多端口存储器控制器(MPMC)通过协调不同子系统对共享dram的访问,在片上系统中起着重要的作用。MPMC设计的主要挑战是通过同时满足不同的(通常是竞争的)需求(包括带宽和延迟)来优化服务质量。虽然以前的工作试图解决这一挑战,但提出的解决方案是启发式的,通常不能提供带宽和/或延迟保证。在本文中,我们提出了一种称为信用-借贷-偿还(CBR)的新技术,该技术增强了从网络社区中提取的动态调度算法,改进它以实现最小延迟,同时保持最小带宽保证。我们的实验表明,在典型的多媒体工作负载上,缓存响应延迟可以提高2.5倍。

Design space exploration and performance evaluation at Electronic System Level for NoC-based MPSoC 基于noc的MPSoC电子系统级设计空间探索与性能评估

System-on-Chip (SoC) has become a common design technique in the integrated circuits industry as it offers many advantages in terms of cost and performance efficiency. SoCs are increasingly complex and heterogeneous systems that are highly integrated comprising processors, caches, hardware accelerators, memories, peripherals and interconnects. Modern SoCs deploy not only simple buses but also crossbars and Networks-on-Chip (NoC) to connect dozens or even hundreds of modules. However, it is difficult to evaluate the performance of these interconnects because of their complexity. This is a potential design risk. In order to address this challenge, early design space exploration is required to find appropriate system architectures out of many candidate architectures. An appropriate interconnect architecture is a fundamental outcome of these evaluations since its latency and throughput characteristics affect the performance of all attached modules in the SoC. In this paper we show how to perform early design space exploration using our Electronic System Level (ESL) performance evaluation framework SystemQ. We use a heterogeneous MultiProcessor SoC that features a complex NoC as a central interconnect. Based on this example we show the importance of proper abstraction in order to keep simulation efforts manageable.
片上系统(SoC)由于在成本和性能效率方面具有许多优势,已成为集成电路工业中常用的设计技术。soc是一个日益复杂和异构的系统,它是高度集成的,包括处理器、缓存、硬件加速器、存储器、外设和互连。现代soc不仅部署简单的总线,还部署交叉排和片上网络(NoC)来连接数十甚至数百个模块。然而,由于这些互连的复杂性,很难评估它们的性能。这是一个潜在的设计风险。为了应对这一挑战,需要进行早期的设计空间探索,以便从许多候选体系结构中找到合适的系统体系结构。适当的互连架构是这些评估的基本结果,因为它的延迟和吞吐量特性会影响SoC中所有附加模块的性能。在本文中,我们展示了如何使用我们的电子系统级(ESL)性能评估框架SystemQ进行早期设计空间探索。我们使用异构多处理器SoC,其特点是复杂的NoC作为中心互连。基于这个例子,我们展示了适当抽象的重要性,以保持模拟工作的可管理性。

Validating the robustness of power distribution in modern IC design is a crucial but very difficult problem, due to the vast number of possible working modes and the high operating frequencies which necessitate the modeling of power grid as a general RLC network. In this paper we provide a characterization of the worst-case current waveform excitations that produce the maximum voltage drop among all possible working modes of the IC. In addition, we give a practical methodology to estimate these worst-case excitations on the basis of a sample of the excitation space acquired via plain circuit simulation. In the course of characterizing the worst-case excitations we also establish that the voltage drop function for RLC grid models has nonnegative coefficients, which has been an open problem so far.
在现代集成电路设计中,验证功率分配的鲁棒性是一个关键而又非常困难的问题,因为可能的工作模式非常多,工作频率很高,因此需要将电网建模为一般的RLC网络。在本文中,我们提供了在IC的所有可能工作模式中产生最大电压降的最坏情况电流波形激励的特征。此外,我们给出了一种实用的方法,以通过普通电路模拟获得的激励空间样本为基础来估计这些最坏情况激励。在刻画最坏激励的过程中,我们还建立了RLC网格模型的电压降函数具有非负系数,这是一个迄今为止尚未解决的问题。
