Reconfigurable Architectures
In the area of computer architecture, designers are faced with the trade-of between flexibility and performance. The architectural choices span a wide spectrum, with general-purpose processors and application specific integrated circuits (ASICs) at opposite ends. General-purpose processors are not optimized to specific applications, they are flexible due to their versatile instruction sets that...
متن کاملImpact of Custom Interconnect Masks on Cost and Performance of Structured ASICs
As process technology scales, the design effort and Non-Recurring Engineering (NRE) costs associated with the development of Integrated Circuits (ICs) is becoming extremely high. One of the main reasons is the high cost of preparing and processing IC fabrication masks. The design effort and cost can be reduced by employing Structured Application-Specific ICs (Structured ASICs). Structured ASICs...
متن کاملAn Automated Recipe-Based Defect Analysis System for ASICs
40 Manufacturers of application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) face some unique yield-management challenges. At any given time, scores of different products and numerous different technologies may be moving through the manufacturing line – some ramping up, some already ramped, and some in a start-up phase. While any competitive semiconductor company must constantly refine and improve its ...
متن کاملStructured ASICs: Opportunities and Challenges
There is currently a huge gap between the two main technologies used to implement custom digital integrated circuit (IC) designs. At one end of the spectrum are field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). These devices have relatively low design costs and short design times, but they also have high per-unit costs and are limited in terms of design size, complexity, and performance. At the other end...
