Power Fluctuation Minimization During Behavioral Synthesis using ILP-Based Datapath Scheduling
نویسندگان
چکیده
We model the power fluctuation as cycle-to-cycle power gradient and minimize the mean of the power gradients using ILP. We propose scheduling schemes for three modes of datapath design : single supply voltage and single frequency (SVSF), multiple supply voltages and dynamic frequency clocking (MVDFC), and multiple supply voltages and multicycling (MVMC). Various experiments are conducted on selected highlevel synthesis benchmarks. Experimental results in terms of several parameters, such as mean power gradient, mean cycle power, peak power, and power delay product, are presented.

Transient power minimization through datapath scheduling in multiple supply voltage environment
In designs for battery driven portable applications, the reduction of peak power, peak power differential, average power and energy are equally important. In [1], a parameter called ”cycle power pro£le function” is de£ned that captures the above power parameters and a heuristic algorithm is proposed using multiple voltages and dynamic clocking for its minimization.

In this paper, we describe an integer linear programming (ILP) based datapath scheduling algorithm which uses both multiple supply voltages and dynamic frequency clocking for power optimization. The scheduling technique assumes the number and type of different functional units as resource constraints and minimizes the energy delay product (EDP). The energy savings directly comes from the use of...

Power gating technique reduces leakage power in the circuit. However, power gating leads to large voltage fluctuation on the power rail during power gating mode to active mode due to the package inductance in the Printed Circuit Board. This voltage fluctuation may cause unwanted transitions in neighboring circuits. In this work, a power gating architecture is developed for minimizing power in a...

In this paper we present two polynomial time-complexity heuristic algorithms for optimization of gate-oxide leakage (tunneling current) during behavioral synthesis through simultaneous scheduling and binding. One algorithm considers the time-constraint explicitly and the other considers it implicitly while both account for resource constraints. The algorithms selectively bind the off-critical o...
