Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: "In this paper we present a formal representation for register-level digital designs. This is a separated representation in that it provides separate but linked representations for behavior, timing, and structure. It has the advantage of being at the same time rich, formal, redundant, and prescriptive. Because it is rich, it covers many aspects of design correctness and completeness. Because it is formal, several well- characterized tests can be applied to a design to determine its well- formedness. Because it is redundant, internal consistency checks can be used to test a design's internal semantic integrity.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After long years of work that have seen little industrial application, high-level synthesis is finally on the verge of becoming a practical tool. The state of high-level synthesis today is similar to the state of logic synthesis ten years ago. At present, logic-synthesis tools are widely used in digital system design. In the future, high-level synthesis will play a key role in mastering design complexity and in truly exploiting the potential of ASIes and PLDs, which demand extremely short design cycles. Work on high-level synthesis began over twenty years ago. Since substantial progress has been made in understanding the basic then, problems involved, although no single universally-accepted theoretical framework has yet emerged. There is a growing number of publications devoted to high-level synthesis, specialized workshops are held regularly, and tutorials on the topic are commonly held at major conferences. This book gives an extensive survey of the research and development in high-level synthesis. In Part I, a short tutorial explains the basic concepts used in high-level synthesis, and follows an example design throughout the synthesis process. In Part II, current high-level synthesis systems are surveyed.

Download or read book Formal VLSI Specification and Synthesis written by Luc J. M. Claesen and published by North Holland. This book was released on 1990 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Functional and behavioral verification of correctness forms the bottleneck in current VLSI design systems. For economical reasons, design of VLSI circuits must be completely validated before manufacturing. Current VLSI validation is mainly done through extensive simulation. The emerging alternative is based on formal design and verification methods that guarantee correctness. This book describes original work in all aspects of formal hardware design methods. Topics covered include high-level specification, hardware description languages, formal hardware verification methods, guided synthesis methods, correctness preserving transformations, use of theorem provers for verification, formal proof of correctness, MOS timing verification methods, design for verifiability, and practical experiences.

Book excerpt: This allows the scheduling and topology synthesis steps to take wiring considerations into account in a way that has hitherto not been demonstrated in an automatic synthesis system. Experiments have shown that improvements in area, cycle time, and overall average delay can often be achieved in the same design using this approach."

Download or read book Encoding Problems in Controller Synthesis written by David Mark Binger and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: "High-level synthesis systems design circuits that consist of a datapath and a controller. The datapath is a network of modules that is capable of performing the specified behavior. The controller is a circuit that delivers the proper sequence of control signals to the modules of the datapath. The activity in which the controller is designed is known as controller synthesis. Controller synthesis is important because controllers can take up a large fraction of the total circuit area, and so contribute substantially to production cost. Controller synthesis begins with a specification of the controller as a multiple-output multiple-valued logic function. To build the controllercircuit, binary codes are selected to represent the multiple-valued logic values. The selection of representative binary codes often has a substantial impact on the quality of the final circuit. In encoding problems, the goal is to select representative binary codes for which the value of some objective function is optimal. This thesis addresses several encoding problems that arise in controller synthesis. One encoding problem addressed in the thesis is a variation of the state assignment problem where the target circuit includes a counter. Other encoding problems considered in the thesis try to find encodings for which the results of a minimization procedure called column compaction are optimal. The thesis includes a detailed explanation of column compaction, and a novel algorithm for optimal column compaction."

Download or read book Introduction to Embedded Systems Second Edition written by Edward Ashford Lee and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2017-01-06 with total page 562 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An introduction to the engineering principles of embedded systems, with a focus on modeling, design, and analysis of cyber-physical systems. The most visible use of computers and software is processing information for human consumption. The vast majority of computers in use, however, are much less visible. They run the engine, brakes, seatbelts, airbag, and audio system in your car. They digitally encode your voice and construct a radio signal to send it from your cell phone to a base station. They command robots on a factory floor, power generation in a power plant, processes in a chemical plant, and traffic lights in a city. These less visible computers are called embedded systems, and the software they run is called embedded software. The principal challenges in designing and analyzing embedded systems stem from their interaction with physical processes. This book takes a cyber-physical approach to embedded systems, introducing the engineering concepts underlying embedded systems as a technology and as a subject of study. The focus is on modeling, design, and analysis of cyber-physical systems, which integrate computation, networking, and physical processes. The second edition offers two new chapters, several new exercises, and other improvements. The book can be used as a textbook at the advanced undergraduate or introductory graduate level and as a professional reference for practicing engineers and computer scientists. Readers should have some familiarity with machine structures, computer programming, basic discrete mathematics and algorithms, and signals and systems.
