Download or read book Logic and Architecture Synthesis for Silicon Compilers written by Gabrièle Saucier and published by North Holland. This book was released on 1989 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: VLSI synthesis is a subject that is moving rapidly from the research laboratory into the industrial environment, and it is generally accepted that synthesis will gradually become the dominant design technique, surpassing conventional manual techniques. This book provides a timely overview on the various systems for logical and architectural synthesis for VLSI. It discusses the algorithms and techniques necessary for a synthesis system that is competitive with current design techniques for integrated circuits. The book covers both low-level logic synthesis techniques and higher-level architectural techniques, both of which are increasing in practical importance, since they will form the basis of the next generation of CAD software for integrated circuits. Three main topics are addressed: The first concerns two-level and multi-level synthesis. It includes PLA and PAL implementation as well as standard cell and compiled cell based synthesis. The second concerns controller synthesis with emphasis on optimisation methods. The third deals with high level synthesis (resource allocation, scheduling) as applied to DSP systems and processors consisting of controllers and data paths.
Download or read book Logic Synthesis for Field Programmable Gate Arrays written by Rajeev Murgai and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Short turnaround has become critical in the design of electronic systems. Software- programmable components such as microprocessors and digital signal processors have been used extensively in such systems since they allow rapid design revisions. However, the inherent performance limitations of software-programmable systems mean that they are inadequate for high-performance designs. Designers thus turned to gate arrays as a solution. User-programmable gate arrays (field-programmable gate arrays, FPGAs) have recently emerged and are changing the way electronic systems are designed and implemented. The growing complexity of the logic circuits that can be packed onto an FPGA chip means that it has become important to have automatic synthesis tools that implement logic functions on these architectures. Logic Synthesis for Field-Programmable Gate Arrays describes logic synthesis for both look-up table (LUT) and multiplexor-based architectures, with a balanced presentation of existing techniques together with algorithms and the system developed by the authors. Audience: A useful reference for VLSI designers, developers of computer-aided design tools, and anyone involved in or with FPGAs.

Book excerpt: Making VHDL a simple and easy-to-use hardware description language Many engineers encountering VHDL (very high speed integrated circuits hardware description language) for the first time can feel overwhelmed by it. This book bridges the gap between the VHDL language and the hardware that results from logic synthesis with clear organisation, progressing from the basics of combinational logic, types, and operators; through special structures such as tristate buses, register banks and memories, to advanced themes such as developing your own packages, writing test benches and using the full range of synthesis types. This third edition has been substantially rewritten to include the new VHDL-2008 features that enable synthesis of fixed-point and floating-point hardware. Extensively updated throughout to reflect modern logic synthesis usage, it also contains a complete case study to demonstrate the updated features. Features to this edition include: a common VHDL subset which will work across a range of different synthesis systems, targeting a very wide range of technologies a design style that results in long design lifetimes, maximum design reuse and easy technology retargeting a new chapter on a large scale design example based on a digital filter from design objective and design process, to testing strategy and test benches a chapter on writing test benches, with everything needed to implement a test-based design strategy extensive coverage of data path design, including integer, fixed-point and floating-point arithmetic, logic circuits, shifters, tristate buses, RAMs, ROMs, state machines, and decoders Focused specifically on logic synthesis, this book is for professional hardware engineers using VHDL for logic synthesis, and digital systems designers new to VHDL but familiar with digital systems.

Download or read book Cross stage Logic and Architectural Synthesis written by Gai Liu and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Technology scaling, architectural innovations, and electronic design automation (EDA) are the three pillars supporting the exponential growth in computer hardware performance for the past six decades. With the traditional CMOS scaling approaching its end, there is an urgent need to explore novel techniques in the latter two aspects to sustain the long-standing trend of ever increasing computing performance and energy efficiency. This thesis studies new logic and architectural synthesis techniques that aim to significantly improve both productivity and quality for the digital hardware design. We re-examine the boundaries in the traditional EDA flow with the goals of (i) identifying and overcoming deficiencies in existing, well-established logic-level optimization methods, and (ii) raising the level of abstraction to ease architectural-level exploration for hardware specialization. A common theme in this thesis is cross-stage optimization, where the synthesis decisions at an early stage are made aware of downstream optimization in an efficient manner to maximize the quality of results (QoRs). More specifically, we apply cross-stage optimization to tackle four challenging synthesis problems at logic and architectural level. At the logic level, we investigate both exact and approximate synthesis techniques: (P1) PIMap improves the quality of logic optimization by iteratively restructuring the logic network guided by technology mapping; (P2) SCALS generates approximate circuits with statistical guarantees. At the architectural level, we target both specialized and programmable engines: (P3) ElasticFlow compiles irregular loop nests into specialized accelerators optimized for average-case performance; (P4) ASSIST synthesizes an instruction set architecture (ISA) description into programmable processor.
Download or read book Application Driven Architecture Synthesis written by Francky Catthoor and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Application-Driven Architecture Synthesis describes the state of the art of architectural synthesis for complex real-time processing. In order to deal with the stringent timing requirements and the intricacies of complex real-time signal and data processing, target architecture styles and target application domains have been adopted to make the synthesis approach feasible. These approaches are also heavily application-driven, which is illustrated by many realistic demonstrations, used as examples in the book. The focus is on domains where application-specific solutions are attractive, such as significant parts of audio, telecom, instrumentation, speech, robotics, medical and automotive processing, image and video processing, TV, multi-media, radar, sonar. Application-Driven Architecture Synthesis is of interest to both academics and senior design engineers and CAD managers in industry. It provides an excellent overview of what capabilities to expect from future practical design tools, and includes an extensive bibliography.
