چکیده

In this paper, we present a framework for performing switchlevel simulation on hardware accelerators. A symbolic analyzer preprocesses the MOS network into a functionally equivalent Boolean representation. The analyzer thus converts switch-level simulation into a task of evaluating Boolean expressions. Our approach maps the Boolean r e p resentation into the instruction set of the hardware accelerator. The resultant framework supports switch level simulation on a class of hardware accelerators that traditionally have been limited to gate-level simulation.

Extraction of Gate Level Models from Transistor Circuits by Four-Valued Symbolic Analysis

The program TRANALYZE generates a gate-level representation of an MOS transistor circuit. The resulting model contains only four-valued unit and zero delay logic primitives, suitable for evaluation by conventional gate-level simulators and hardware simulation accelerators. TRANALYZE has the same generality and accuracy as switch-level simulation, generating models for a wide range of technologi...

Functional Coverage Analysis of Ovm Based Verification of H.264 Cavld Slice Header Decoder

Commercial chip design verification is a complex activity involving many abstraction levels (such as architectural, register transfer, gate, switch, circuit, fabrication), many different aspects of design (such as timing, speed, functional, power, reliability and manufacturability) and many different design styles (such as ASIC, full custom, semi-custom, memory, cores, and asynchronous). In thi...

MAMPSx: A Design Methodology for Rapid System-Level Exploration, Synthesis of Heterogeneous SoC on FPGA

To achieve better performance and to meet time-to-market demands, heterogeneous reconfigurable MPSoCs like Xilinx Zynq platform are fast becoming popular. However, there are very limited design tools that enable both programming of applications and the exploration of the design space of these applications on the heterogeneous platforms. Also these existing tools are time consuming and require e...
