Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today’s integrated circuits (IC) are more complicated than ever before, leading to extreme long development times. Therefore, many companies have began to rely on high-level synthesis (HLS) to increase their design productivity. One of the advantages of HLS is that many Register Transfer Level (RTL) designs with different area, latency, power trade-offs can be generated within a short period of time by simply modifying the synthesis options. There is no need to re-write the code as at the RT-level using low-level Hardware Description Languages (HDLs). This process can be even automated through HLS design space exploration (DSE). HLS DSE is the automatic process of generating unique micro-architectures from an untimed behavioral description for HLS. Out of all the micro-architectures the designer is only interested in the Pareto-optimal ones. Because the search space grows exponentially with the number of synthesis options, much work in the are of HLS DSE has been done in the past. In parallel, the IC industry has moved to a fabless model due to economic reason. This leads to many security risks. Moreover, power and temperature have become major concerns in modern IC design. Much work has addressed these topics at the RT-level. However, raising the level of abstraction to the behavioral level requires us to re-think these problems as this new level of abstraction poses new challenges and opportunities to address them. In this work, we leverage the advantages of HLS for hardware security, low-power and thermal-aware design. In particular the ability to automatically generate micro-architectures with unique characteristics. In particular, we present a thermal fingerprinting and watermarking technique to protect behavioral Intellectual Properties (BIPs). We introduce an obfuscation method that partitions BIPs into Application Specific IC (ASIC) and Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA) to prevent designs from being reverse engineered. We also propose a runtime micro-architectural adaptation framework for FPGAs and thermal-aware C-based VLSI design method, exploiting the ability of HLS to generate a large number of RTL designs with different power and performance trade-offs. In summary, this dissertation addresses challenges that appear when raising the level of abstraction and leverages some of the unique advantages of HLS to address them.

Download or read book High level Synthesis written by Michael Fingeroff and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2010 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are you an RTL or system designer that is currently using, moving, or planning to move to an HLS design environment? Finally, a comprehensive guide for designing hardware using C++ is here. Michael Fingeroff's High-Level Synthesis Blue Book presents the most effective C++ synthesis coding style for achieving high quality RTL. Master a totally new design methodology for coding increasingly complex designs! This book provides a step-by-step approach to using C++ as a hardware design language, including an introduction to the basics of HLS using concepts familiar to RTL designers. Each chapter provides easy-to-understand C++ examples, along with hardware and timing diagrams where appropriate. The book progresses from simple concepts such as sequential logic design to more complicated topics such as memory architecture and hierarchical sub-system design. Later chapters bring together many of the earlier HLS design concepts through their application in simplified design examples. These examples illustrate the fundamental principles behind C++ hardware design, which will translate to much larger designs. Although this book focuses primarily on C and C++ to present the basics of C++ synthesis, all of the concepts are equally applicable to SystemC when describing the core algorithmic part of a design. On completion of this book, readers should be well on their way to becoming experts in high-level synthesis.

From the Foreword As the semiconductor industry embraces the rising swell of cognitive systems and edge intelligence, this book could serve as a harbinger and example of the osmosis that will exist between our cognitive structures and methods, on the one hand, and the hardware architectures and technologies that will support them, on the other....As we transition from the computing era to the cognitive one, it behooves us to remember the success story of VLSI CAD and to earnestly seek the help of the invisible hand so that our future cognitive systems are used to design more powerful cognitive systems. This book is very much aligned with this on-going transition from computing to cognition, and it is with deep pleasure that I recommend it to all those who are actively engaged in this exciting transformation.

An indispensable resource for all operations managers, compliance teams, process control managers, and other decision-makers in regulated industries such as healthcare, pharmaceuticals, manufacturing, IT, finance, and environmental services.
Download or read book Compilation Techniques for Reconfigurable Architectures written by João M.P. Cardoso and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-04-02 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The extreme ?exibility of recon?gurable architectures and their performance pot- tial have made them a vehicle of choice in a wide range of computing domains, from rapid circuit prototyping to high-performance computing. The increasing availab- ity of transistors on a die has allowed the emergence of recon?gurable architectures with a large number of computing resources and interconnection topologies. To - ploit the potential of these recon?gurable architectures, programmers are forced to map their applications, typically written in high-level imperative programming l- guages, such as C or MATLAB, to hardware-oriented languages such as VHDL or Verilog. In this process, they must assume the role of hardware designers and software programmers and navigate a maze of program transformations, mapping, and synthesis steps to produce ef?cient recon?gurable computing implementations. The richness and sophistication of any of these application mapping steps make the mapping of computations to these architectures an increasingly daunting process. It is thus widely believed that automatic compilation from high-level programming languages is the key to the success of recon?gurable computing. This book describes a wide range of code transformations and mapping te- niques for programs described in high-level programming languages, most - tably imperative languages, to recon?gurable architectures.

Download or read book System Level Synthesis written by Ahmed Amine Jerraya and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 441 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: System-Level Synthesis deals with the concurrent design of electronic applications, including both hardware and software. The issue has become the bottleneck in the design of electronic systems, including both hardware and software, in several major industrial fields, including telecommunications, automotive and aerospace engineering. The major difficulty with the subject is that it demands contributions from several research fields, including system specification, system architecture, hardware design, and software design. Most existing book cover well only a few aspects of system-level synthesis. The present volume presents a comprehensive discussion of all the aspects of system-level synthesis. Each topic is covered by a contribution written by an international authority on the subject.
