Download or read book Instruction Selection written by Gabriel Hjort Blindell and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-06-03 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a comprehensive, structured, up-to-date survey on instruction selection. The survey is structured according to two dimensions: approaches to instruction selection from the past 45 years are organized and discussed according to their fundamental principles, and according to the characteristics of the supported machine instructions. The fundamental principles are macro expansion, tree covering, DAG covering, and graph covering. The machine instruction characteristics introduced are single-output, multi-output, disjoint-output, inter-block, and interdependent machine instructions. The survey also examines problems that have yet to be addressed by existing approaches. The book is suitable for advanced undergraduate students in computer science, graduate students, practitioners, and researchers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Computational intelligence techniques are becoming more and more important for automated problem solving nowadays. Due to the growing complexity of industrial applications and the increasingly tight time-to-market requirements, the time available for thorough problem analysis and development of tailored solution methods is decreasing. There is no doubt that this trend will continue in the foreseeable future. Hence, it is not surprising that robust and general automated problem solving methods with satisfactory performance are needed.

Download or read book Memory Allocation Problems in Embedded Systems written by Maria Soto and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-01-24 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Embedded systems are everywhere in contemporary life and are supposed to make our lives more comfortable. In industry, embedded systems are used to manage and control complex systems (e.g. nuclear power plants, telecommunications and flight control) and they are also taking an important place in our daily activities (e.g. smartphones, security alarms and traffic lights). In the design of embedded systems, memory allocation and data assignment are among the main challenges that electronic designers have to face. In fact, they impact heavily on the main cost metrics (power consumption, performance and area) in electronic devices. Thus designers of embedded systems have to pay careful attention in order to minimize memory requirements, thus improving memory throughput and limiting the power consumption by the system’s memory. Electronic designers attempt to minimize memory requirements with the aim of lowering the overall system costs. A state of the art of optimization techniques for memory management and data assignment is presented in this book.

Download or read book Automatic Analog IC Sizing and Optimization Constrained with PVT Corners and Layout Effects written by Nuno Lourenço and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-07-29 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces readers to a variety of tools for automatic analog integrated circuit (IC) sizing and optimization. The authors provide a historical perspective on the early methods proposed to tackle automatic analog circuit sizing, with emphasis on the methodologies to size and optimize the circuit, and on the methodologies to estimate the circuit’s performance. The discussion also includes robust circuit design and optimization and the most recent advances in layout-aware analog sizing approaches. The authors describe a methodology for an automatic flow for analog IC design, including details of the inputs and interfaces, multi-objective optimization techniques, and the enhancements made in the base implementation by using machine leaning techniques. The Gradient model is discussed in detail, along with the methods to include layout effects in the circuit sizing. The concepts and algorithms of all the modules are thoroughly described, enabling readers to reproduce the methodologies, improve the quality of their designs, or use them as starting point for a new tool. An extensive set of application examples is included to demonstrate the capabilities and features of the methodologies described.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Information and communication technology (ICT) industry is said to account for 2% of the worldwide carbon emissions – a fraction that continues to grow with the relentless push for more and more sophisticated computing equipment, c- munications infrastructure, and mobile devices. While computers evolved in the directionofhigherandhigherperformanceformostofthelatterhalfofthe20thc- tury, the late 1990’s and early 2000’ssaw a new emergingfundamentalconcern that has begun to shape our day-to-day thinking in system design – power dissipation. As we elaborate in Chapter 1, a variety of factors colluded to raise power-ef?ciency as a ?rst class design concern in the designer’s mind, with profound consequences all over the ?eld: semiconductor process design, circuit design, design automation tools, system and application software, all the way to large data centers. Power-ef?cient System Design originated from a desire to capture and highlight the exciting developments in the rapidly evolving ?eld of power and energy op- mization in electronic and computer based systems. Tremendous progress has been made in the last two decades, and the topic continues to be a fascinating research area. To develop a clearer focus, we have concentrated on the relatively higher level of design abstraction that is loosely called the system level. In addition to the ext- sive coverage of traditional power reduction targets such as CPU and memory, the book is distinguished by detailed coverage of relatively modern power optimization ideas focussing on components such as compilers, operating systems, servers, data centers, and graphics processors.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Demonstrates techniques which will allow rewiring rates ofover 95%, enabling adoption of deep sub-micron chips for industrialapplications Logic synthesis is an essential part of the modern digital ICdesign process in semi-conductor industry. This book discusses alogic synthesis technique called “rewiring” and itslatest technical advancement in term of rewirability. Rewiringtechnique has surfaced in academic research since 1993 and there iscurrently no book available on the market which systematically andcomprehensively discusses this rewiring technology. The authorscover logic transformation techniques with concentration onrewiring. For many decades, the effect of wiring on logicstructures has been ignored due to an ideal view of wires and theirnegligible role in the circuit performance. However intoday’s semiconductor technology wiring is the major playerin circuit performance degeneration and logic synthesis engines canbe improved to deal with this through wire-based transformations.This book introduces the automatic test pattern generation(ATPG)-based rewiring techniques, which are recently active in therealm of logic synthesis/verification of VLSI/SOC designs. Unique comprehensive coverage of semiconductor rewiringtechniques written by leading researchers in the field Provides complete coverage of rewiring from an introductory tointermediate level Rewiring is explained as a flexible technique for Boolean logicsynthesis, introducing the concept of Boolean circuittransformation and testing, with examples Readers can directly apply the described techniques toreal-world VLSI design issues Focuses on the automatic test pattern generation (ATPG) basedrewiring methods although some non-ATPG based rewiring methods suchas graph based alternative wiring (GBAW), and “set of pairsof functions to be distinguished” (SPFD) based rewiring arealso discussed A valuable resource for researchers and postgraduate students inVLSI and SoC design, as well as digital design engineers, EDAsoftware developers, and design automation experts that specializein the synthesis and optimization of logical circuits.

Download or read book Electronic System Level HW SW Co Design of Heterogeneous Multi Processor Embedded Systems written by Luigi Pomante and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2022-09-01 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern electronic systems consist of a fairly heterogeneous set of components. Today, a single system can be constituted by a hardware platform, frequently composed of a mix of analog and digital components, and by several software application layers. The hardware can include several heterogeneous microprocessors (e.g. GPP, DSP, GPU, etc.), dedicated ICs (ASICs and/or FPGAs), memories, a set of local connections between the system components, and some interfaces between the system and the environment (sensors, actuators, etc.). Therefore, on the one hand, multi-processor embedded systems are capable of meeting the demand of processing power and flexibility of complex applications. On the other hand, such systems are very complex to design and optimize, so that the design methodology plays a major role in determining the success of the products. For these reasons, to cope with the increasing system complexity, the approaches typically used today are oriented towards co-design methodologies working at the higher levels of abstraction. Unfortunately, such methodologies are typically customized for the specific application, suffer of a lack of generality and still need a considerable effort when real-size project are envisioned. Therefore, there is still the need for a general methodology able to support the designer during the high-level steps of a co-design flow, enabling an effective design space exploration before tackling the low-level steps and thus committing to the final technology. This should prevent costly redesign loops.In such a context, the work described in this book, composed of two parts, aims at providing models, methodologies and tools to support each step of the co-design flow of embedded systems implemented by exploiting heterogeneous multi-processor architectures mapped on distributed systems, as well as fully integrated onto a single chip.
