  1. 6. A Technology Agnostic Approach for Standard-cell Layout Design Automation

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för elektro- och informationsteknik

    Author : Tom Johansson; [2019]
    Keywords : IC; automation; standard cell; standard cell design; ASIC; chip; graph theory; SAT; full adder; adder; MUX; layout; schematic; mst; minimum spanning tree; kruskal; pnr; placement; routing; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The logic scaling following Moores law has reached a level where System on Chips (SoCs) commonly contains millions of standard cells. The sheer amount implies that even small optimizations on a standard cell can have a significant effect on the SoC performance. To ensure the performance of standard cells, many of these are hand-drawn. READ MORE

  2. 7. Evaluating Parallelization Potential for a SystemC/TLM-based Virtual Platform

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Zeeshan Hayat; [2018]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : System on chip (SoC) solutions, with integrated hardware and embedded software, are increasing in size and complexity. To cope with the market demand for complex SoC, the abstraction level used during development is raised to allow co-development of software (SW) and hardware (HW). READ MORE

  3. 8. Wireless System on Virtual Platform Evaluation

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för elektro- och informationsteknik

    Author : Tobias Mähl; Joel Gustafsson; [2017]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The most common way to develop System-on-Chip's (SoC) today is to utilize hardware design on a Field programmable gate array (FPGA). By utilizing the hardware on an FPGA, the opportunity to verify the hardware and start software design before implementing the final solution on silicon is possible. READ MORE

  4. 9. Virtual Cycle-accurate Hardware and Software Co-simulation Platform for Cellular IoT

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för elektro- och informationsteknik

    Author : Marcel Tovar Rascon; Patrik Elfborg; [2017]
    Keywords : co-simulation; cycle-accurate; ESL; HLS; SystemC; SoC Designer; IoT; SoC; FPGA; embedded; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Modern embedded development flows often depend on FPGA board usage for pre-ASIC system verification. The purpose of this project is to instead explore the usage of Electronic System Level (ESL) hardware-software co-simulation through the usage of ARM SoC Designer tool to create a virtual prototype of a cellular IoT modem and thereafter compare the benefits of including such a methodology into the early development cycle.

  5. 10. Efficient LU Factorization for Texas Instruments Keystone Architecture Digital Signal Processors

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för datavetenskap och kommunikation (CSC)

    Author : Gilbert Netzer; [2015]
    Keywords : LU factorization; digital signal processors; Texas Instruments; Keystone architecture; high-performance LINPACK; benchmark; performance; energy efficiency; software-pipelined loops; direct memory access; optimization;

    Abstract : The energy consumption of large-scale high-performance computer (HPC) systems has become one of the foremost concerns of both data-center operators and computer manufacturers. This has renewed interest in alternative computer architectures that could offer substantially better energy-efficiency. READ MORE
