  • Placement of multiple dies on an MCM or high-performance VLSI substrate is a non-trivial task in which multiple criteria need to be considered simultaneously to obtain a true multi-objective optimization. Unfortunately, the exact physical attributes of a design are not known in the placement step until entire design process is carried out. When the performance issues are considered, crosstalk noise constraints in the form of net separation and via constraint become important. In this paper, for better performance and wirability estimation during placement for MCMs, several performance constraints are taken into account simultaneously. A graph-based wirability estimation along with the Genetic placement optimization technique is proposed to minimize crosstalk, crossing, wirelength and the number of layers. Our work is significant since it is the first attempt at bringing the crosstalk and other performance issues into the placement domain.

  • 본 논문은 OCP(Open Core Protocol)에 호환되는 파이프라인 구조를 가진 시스템 버스와 MPEG 시스템에 적합한 메모리 버스를 갖는 계층 구조를 가지는 새로운 동기 세그먼트 버스를 제안한다. 이 구조는 MPEG 시스템의 모바일 제품에 사용되는 영상 데이터 처리를 위한 메모리 인터페이스에 기반을 둔 버스 구조와 Multi-master와 Multi-slave를 사용하여 고성능의 다중 처리를 위한 양방향 다중 버스 구조(bi-direction multiple bus architecture)를 가진다. 효율적인 데이터 처리를 위하여 파이프라인 stage와 결합된 Master와 Slave의 주소번지가 latency를 결정하며, 시스템의 특성에 따라서 IP 코어를 배치하였다. 제안된 버스는 저 전력 구현을 위하여 세그먼트 버스 구조를 가지고, 멀티미디어 SoC 시스템의 성능 저하 없이 다중 작업이 가능한 구조를 갖는다. Wirability를 고려하여 양방향 구조를 채택하였고, Testablility를 위하여 단방향(uni-direction) 구조와 대체 가능하다. 또한, Local arbiter의 수정만으로 Master의 추가가 가능한 확장 구조를 가진다. Latency를 줄이기 위하여 직접 제어 방식과 단순한 구조의 Central arbiter로 구현되었다.

  • We have developed an optimization algorithm based formulation for performing efficient time driven simultaneous place and route for FPGAs. Field programmable gate array (FPGAs) provide of drastically reducing the turn-around time for digital ICs, with a relatively small degradation in performance. For a variety of application specific integrated circuit application, where time-to-market is most critical and the performance requirement do not mandate a custom or semicustom approach, FPGAs are an increasingly popular alternative. This has prompted a substantial amount of specialized synthesis and layout research focused on maximizing density, minimizing delay, and minimizing design time.
