Developing Synthesis Flows Without Human Knowledge
[article]
2019
arXiv
pre-print
Mostly, the flows are developed based on the knowledge of the experts. ...
However, due to the large search space of design flows and the increasing design complexity, developing Intellectual Property (IP)-specific synthesis flows providing high Quality of Result (QoR) is extremely ...
Second, the design flows are mostly developed by the EDA developers and users based on their knowledge and user experience, with many testing iterations and intensive supervision. ...

Design Technology for Systems-on-Chip
[chapter]
2002
IFIP Advances in Information and Communication Technology
Interconnect delay became dominant in many designs at O.18J.1I1l; to obtain timing closure, it was necessary to unify synthesis and placement. ...
Moving forward, increasing degradation of signal integrity will be caused by capacitive cross coupling, by inductive effects and by several other physical effects. ...
Finally, system design today is mostly IP-based. Processors enable the implementation of large parts of functionality in SW. ...

Towards an Ontology-driven Intellectual Properties reuse for Systems On Chip design
2021
International journal of computers and communications
To address this problem, we propose to develop an IPs reuse specific ontology that facilitates IPs reuse at many levels of abstraction and independently from any design language or tool. ...
Intellectual Properties reuse has gained widespread acceptance in System-On-Chip design to manage the complexity and shorten the time-to-market. ...
IP reuse based-design is becoming recently a standard for time-to-market driven industry. Unfortunately, this IP based design is not free of considerable effort. ...

Guest Editors' Introduction: DFM Drives Changes in Design Flow
2005
IEEE Design & Test of Computers
The most commonly used DFM techniques are based on judiciously including manufacturability criteria in the design flow, and can dramatically impact the business performance of chip manufacturers. ...
These drivers are forcing designers to change traditional design flows. ...
The Future of DFM mize most infrastructure IP blocks individually, without any special knowledge of the independently developed physical IP provided by IP vendors. ...

Panel: what is the proper system on chip design methodology?
1999
Proceedings 1999 Design Automation Conference (Cat No 99CH36361) DAC-99/1581130929
On the one hand, it is posited in the Reuse Methodology Manual, that a logic synthesis-based design methodology can be used effectively to develop system chips. ...
Our contention that today the only complete pratical next generation digital SoC verification environment is based on hardware emulation that accomodates all representations of the IP, synthesizable testbenches ...
Nothing you do in the integration flow can make up for poorly designed IP. Well-designed IP can be integrated into a wide variety of flows. ...

Heterogeneous Systems on Chip and Systems in Package
2007
2007 Design, Automation & Test in Europe Conference & Exhibition
A means to distinguish the various forms of heterogeneity is given, with an estimation of the maturity of design and modeling techniques with respect to various physical domains. ...
This paper discusses several forms of heterogeneity in systems on chip and systems in package. ...
Further, the question of knowledge management and IP re-use arises in order to ensure the preservation of know-how and reduce time-to-fab. ...

A design flow tailored for self dynamic reconfigurable architecture
2008
Proceedings, International Parallel and Distributed Processing Symposium (IPDPS)
In this paper the authors introduce a new design framework which amends this lack. In particular the paper describes the entire low level design flow onto which the framework is based. ...
The need of a comprehensive tool which can guide designers through the whole implementation process is becoming stronger. ...
Nowadays, a novel design flow based on the module-based approach has been introduced: the Early Access Partial Reconfiguration (EAPR) [4] . ...

A reuse-based framework for the design of analog and mixed-signal ICs
2005
VLSI Circuits and Systems II
The framework is founded on three key elements: (1) a CAD-supported hierarchical design flow that facilitates the incorporation of AMS reusable blocks, reduces the overall design time, and expedites the ...
To extend the notion of library-based approaches, and thereby reduce overall design time, reuse and capturing AMS designers' expertise should be a major concern. 2. Improve automated synthesis. ...

IEEE Transactions on Computer-Aided Design of Integrated Circuits and Systems
In reality, however, more than 80% of chips cannot meet the original development schedule even now, since the schedule tends to be decided based on a time-to-market plan and not by summing up the necessary ...
Then, we discusses the possibility of incorporating physical design feature into the C-based SoC design environment. ...
