PICSIL A Data Flow Approach to Silicon Compilation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Integrated Circuits with over one million transistors are now common, and the current doubling of circuit density every two years seems likely to continue. Consequently, VLSI design has become a major bottleneck in new product development. SSI and MSI design methods are quite inadequate. The design of one 60,000-transistor chip took 15 technical experts three years and cost several million dollars (Johnson & Mazor, 1984). Developing a chip under these constraints in a competitive market is a gamble, and chips with long development times are likely to be outmoded by the time they appear. Developers play safe, choosing conventional, inefficient, architectures rather than risking developing new ones and incurring prohibitive design costs. Small custom runs are rarely worthwhile.

PICSIL: Integrating graphic system design and automatic synthesis
We present an approach to the design of complex logic ICs, developed from four premises. First, the responsibilities of a chip’s major components, and the communication between them, should be separated from the detailed implementation of their functionality. Design of this abstract architecture should precede definition of the detailed functionality. Secondly, graphic vocabularies are most nat...
متن کاملFour-wire orthogonal structure for accurate measurement of fluid velocity and wind flow direction using silicon micro-machining on silicon nitride membranes
Microelectromechanical thermal sensors are one of the most accurate and important tools for measuring the direction and velocity of an acoustic wave and winds. Detection of wind direction and speed in different ranges has different applications such as meteorology, wind power plants, gas flow measurement in smart building and gas consumption of power plants. In this paper, a four wires sensor i...
متن کاملFast Frequent Querying with Lazy Control Flow Compilation
Control flow compilation is a hybrid between classical WAM compilation and meta-call, limited to the compilation of non-recursive clause bodies. This approach is used successfully for the execution of dynamically generated queries in an inductive logic programming setting (ILP). Control flow compilation reduces compilation times up to an order of magnitude, without slowing down execution. A laz...
متن کاملData-Flow Analysis for Hot-Spot Program Optimization
A hot spot of a program is a program region, whose execution time crucially impacts the overall execution time of the program. A hot spot can often be optimized without fully analyzing the whole program. This is supported by approaches for demand-driven data-flow analysis. Particularly successful in practice turned out to be an approach based on reverse data-flow analysis. In this paper, we rec...
