This paper describes a project course that focuses on all the different stages in an ASIC design flow. The project starts at algorithm level, followed by architecture selection, netlist generation, down to physical layout, fabrication, and finally verification. The scope of the project, implementing a complete MP3 decoder in VHDL and sending it for fabrication, motivates the students to work ha...

This report gives some details on our development of a front-end tool, VeriABC, for SystemVerilog/VHDL designs for both synthesis and verification applications. VeriABC interfaces with a commercial front-end parser and analyzer, Verific, to produce finite-state machine models. VeriABC processes the Verific generated netlist database to generate an AIGER model with box/bundle annotations represe...

In this article, the effective circuit partitioning techniques are employed by using the clustering algorithms. The technique uses the circuit netlist in order to cluster the circuit in partitioning steps and it also minimizes the interconnection distance with the required iteration level. The clustering algorithm like K-Mean, Y-Mean, K-Medoid are performed on the standard benchmark circuits. T...
