Advanced BDD Optimization by Rudiger Ebendt,Görschwin Fey,Rolf Drechsler Pdf

VLSI CADhas greatly bene?ted from the use of reduced ordered Binary Decision Diagrams (BDDs) and the clausal representation as a problem of Boolean Satis?ability (SAT), e.g. in logic synthesis, ver- cation or design-for-testability. In recent practical applications, BDDs are optimized with respect to new objective functions for design space exploration. The latest trends show a growing number of proposals to fuse the concepts of BDD and SAT. This book gives a modern presentation of the established as well as of recent concepts. Latest results in BDD optimization are given, c- ering di?erent aspects of paths in BDDs and the use of e?cient lower bounds during optimization. The presented algorithms include Branch ? and Bound and the generic A -algorithm as e?cient techniques to - plore large search spaces. ? The A -algorithm originates from Arti?cial Intelligence (AI), and the EDA community has been unaware of this concept for a long time. Re- ? cently, the A -algorithm has been introduced as a new paradigm to explore design spaces in VLSI CAD. Besides AI search techniques, the book also discusses the relation to another ?eld of activity bordered to VLSI CAD and BDD optimization: the clausal representation as a SAT problem.

Advanced BDD Optimization by Rudiger Ebendt,Görschwin Fey,Rolf Drechsler Pdf

The size of technically producible integrated circuits increases continuously. But the ability to design and verify these circuits does not keep up with this development. Therefore today’s design flow has to be improved to achieve a higher productivity. In Robustness and Usability in Modern Design Flows the current design methodology and verification methodology are analyzed, a number of deficiencies are identified and solutions suggested. Improvements in the methodology as well as in the underlying algorithms are proposed. An in-depth presentation of preliminary concepts makes the book self-contained. Based on this foundation major design problems are targeted. In particular, a complete tool flow for Synthesis for Testability of SystemC descriptions is presented. The resulting circuits are completely testable and test pattern generation in polynomial time is possible. Verification issues are covered in even more detail. A whole new paradigm for formal design verification is suggested. This is based upon design understanding, the automatic generation of properties and powerful tool support for debugging failures. All these new techniques are empirically evaluated and experimental results are provided. As a result, an enhanced design flow is created that provides more automation (i.e. better usability) and reduces the probability of introducing conceptual errors (i.e. higher robustness).

Heuristic and Exact Optimization of Reduced Ordered Binary Decision Diagrams (BDDs) by Rüdiger Ebendt Pdf

Computer-Aided Design of Very Large Scale Integrated Circuits (VLSI CAD) has greatly benefited from the use of reduced ordered Binary Decision Diagrams (BDDs), e.g. in logic synthesis, verification or design-for-testability. In recent methods, BDDs are optimized with respect to new objective functions, exploring the respective design spaces. Today, design space exploration and multi-objective design goals are important for many applications. New algorithms for BDD optimization have to be considered. This book is dedicated to the idea of moving towards new optimization goals and design spaces different from those considered so far. The book closes the gap between theory and practice by transferring the latest theoretical insights into recent practical applications. In this, a solid, thorough analysis of the theory is presented, which is completed by experimental studies. The basic concepts have been known and understood for a short time, and they will have wide impact on further developments in the field. As logic synthesis, verification and design-for-testability are "standard" topics in graduate courses, the book also can be used as a text book for advanced courses in this field.

In-Memory Computing by Saeideh Shirinzadeh,Rolf Drechsler Pdf

This book describes a comprehensive approach for synthesis and optimization of logic-in-memory computing hardware and architectures using memristive devices, which creates a firm foundation for practical applications. Readers will get familiar with a new generation of computer architectures that potentially can perform faster, as the necessity for communication between the processor and memory is surpassed. The discussion includes various synthesis methodologies and optimization algorithms targeting implementation cost metrics including latency and area overhead as well as the reliability issue caused by short memory lifetime. Presents a comprehensive synthesis flow for the emerging field of logic-in-memory computing; Describes automated compilation of programmable logic-in-memory computer architectures; Includes several effective optimization algorithm also applicable to classical logic synthesis; Investigates unbalanced write traffic in logic-in-memory architectures and describes wear leveling approaches to alleviate it.

Innovative Applications of Information Technology for the Developing World by Lalit Mohan Patnaik,Asoke K Talukder,Deepak Bhattarai,Sudan Jha,Hirendra Man Pradhan,Sitharama Iyengar Pdf

Information and communication technology (ICT) has become a generic and indispensable tool for addressing and solving problems in such diverse areas as management, social and health services, transportation, security and education. As the cost of equipment drops dramatically, it also becomes widely accessible in the developing countries. However, problems of high costs for adequate training of personnel, access to state-to-the-art software and the consultancies needed to facilitate access to ICT can constitute highly dissuasive factors in the dissemination of ICT in developing countries. This volume describes a series of successful initiatives for the insertion of ICT in developing economies. It also identifies significant problems that are likely to be encountered, and suggests useful solutions to these problems. It therefore serves as a useful tool for example applications, and for the successful assimilation of these technologies in developing societies and countries.

Technology Mapping for LUT-Based FPGA by Marcin Kubica,Adam Opara,Dariusz Kania Pdf

This book covers selected topics of automated logic synthesis dedicated to FPGAs. The authors focused on two main problems: decomposition of the multioutput functions and technology mapping. Additionally, the idea of using binary decision diagrams (BDD) in these processes was presented. The book is a scientific monograph summarizing the authors’ many years of research. As a result, it contains a large number of experimental results, which makes it a valuable source for other researchers. The book has a significant didactic value. Its arrangement allows for a gradual transition from basic things (e.g., description of logic functions) to much more complex issues. This approach allows less advanced readers to better understand the described problems. In addition, the authors made sure that the issues described in the book were supported by practical examples, thanks to which the reader can independently analyze even the most complex problems described in the book.

Towards a Design Flow for Reversible Logic by Robert Wille,Rolf Drechsler Pdf

The development of computing machines found great success in the last decades. But the ongoing miniaturization of integrated circuits will reach its limits in the near future. Shrinking transistor sizes and power dissipation are the major barriers in the development of smaller and more powerful circuits. Reversible logic p- vides an alternative that may overcome many of these problems in the future. For low-power design, reversible logic offers signi?cant advantages since zero power dissipation will only be possible if computation is reversible. Furthermore, quantum computation pro?ts from enhancements in this area, because every quantum circuit is inherently reversible and thus requires reversible descriptions. However, since reversible logic is subject to certain restrictions (e.g. fanout and feedback are not directly allowed), the design of reversible circuits signi?cantly differs from the design of traditional circuits. Nearly all steps in the design ?ow (like synthesis, veri?cation, or debugging) must be redeveloped so that they become applicable to reversible circuits as well. But research in reversible logic is still at the beginning. No continuous design ?ow exists so far. Inthisbook,contributionstoadesign?owforreversiblelogicarepresented.This includes advanced methods for synthesis, optimization, veri?cation, and debugging.
