OptiBIST: A Tool for BISTing Datapaths
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we present a fast and efficient algorithm for BISTing datapaths described at the Register Transfer (RT) level. This algorithm is parameterized by user defined tuning factors allowing tradeoffs between fault coverage, area overhead and test application time. This algorithm is also generic i.e. independent of the test pattern generators and compactors types.

Efficient Integration of Pipelined IP Blocks into Automatically Compiled Datapaths
Compilers for reconfigurable computers aim to generate problem-specific optimized datapaths for kernels extracted from an input language. In many cases, however, judicious use of preexisting manually optimized IP blocks within these datapaths could improve the compute performance even further. The integration of IP blocks into the compiled datapaths poses a different set of problems than stitch...
متن کاملBehavior-RTL Equivalence Checking Based on Data Transfer Analysis with Virtual Controllers and Datapaths
A behavior-RTL equivalence checking method based on bottom-up reasoning is presented. Behavior and RTL descriptions are converted into dependence graphs from which virtual controllers/datapaths are generated. Actual equivalence checking is based on isomorphism analysis on dependence graphs and also virtual controllers/datapaths. First equivalence classes on partial computations are extracted by...

متن کاملProtocol converter synthesis - Computers and Digital Techniques, IEE Proceedings-
A system-on-a-chip is an interconnection of different pre-verified IP hardware blocks, which communicate using complex protocols. The integration of IP blocks requires some glue logic to interface otherwise incompatible datapaths. This glue logic is called a protocol converter and its manual design proves to be a tedious and time-consuming task. Automatic synthesis is therefore important, but f...
متن کاملMultipliers and Datapaths
People traditionally have considered the number of counters in the critical path as the met ric for the performance of a multiplier This report presents the view that tree topologies which have the least number of levels do not always give the fastest possible multiplier when constrained to be part of a microprocessor It proposes two new topologies hybrid struc ture and higher order arrays whic...
