Automated Exploration of Design Solution Space Applying the Generative Design Approach

Automated Model Merge by Design Space Exploration

Industrial applications of model-driven engineering to develop large and complex systems resulted in an increasing demand for collaboration features. However, use cases such as model differencing and merging have turned out to be a difficult challenge, due to (i) the graphlike nature of models, and (ii) the complexity of certain operations (e.g. hierarchy refactoring) that are common today. In ...

Automated Design Space Exploration for DSP Applications

We present a performance analysis framework that efficiently generates and analyzes hardware architectures for computationally intensive signal processing applications. Our framework synthesizes designs from a high level of abstraction into well-constructed and recognizable hardware structures that perform well in terms of area, throughput and power dissipation. Cost functions provided by our f...

An Approach for Effective Design Space Exploration

Design space exploration (DSE) refers to the activity of exploring design alternatives prior to implementation. The power to operate on the space of potential design candidates renders DSE useful for many engineering tasks, including rapid prototyping, optimization, and system integration. The main challenge in DSE arises from the sheer size of the design space that must be explored. Typically,...

A solution methodology for exact design space exploration in a three-dimensional design space

| This paper describes an exact solution methodology, implemented in Rensselaer's Voyager design space exploration system, for solving the scheduling problem in a 3dimensional (3D) design space: the usual 2D design space (which trades o area and schedule length), plus a third dimension representing clock length. Unlike design space exploration methodologies which rely on bounds or estimates, th...
