High Level Area and Current Estimation

چکیده
Reducing the ever-growing leakage current is critical to high performance and power efficient designs. We present an in-depth study of high-level leakage modeling and reduction in the context of a full custom design environment. We propose a methodology to estimate the circuit area, minimum and maximum leakage current, and maximum power-up current, introduced by leakage reduction using sleep transistor insertion, for any given logic function. We build novel estimation metrics based on logic synthesis and gate level analysis using only a small number of typical circuits, but no further logic synthesis and gate level analysis are needed during our estimation. Compared to time-consuming logic synthesis and gate level analysis, the average errors for circuits from a leading industrial design project are 23.59% for area, 21.44% for maximum power-up current. In contrast, estimation based on quick synthesis leads to 11x area difference in gate count for an 8bit adder.

متن کاملSome New Developments in Small Area Estimation
Small area estimation has received a lot of attention in recent years due to growing demand for reliable small area statistics. Traditional area-specific estimators may not provide adequate precision because sample sizes in small areas are seldom large enough. This makes it necessary to employ indirect estimators based on linking models. Basic area level and unit level models have been extensiv...

An analytical model for a coastal boundary current was used to investigate heat and salt budget of exchange flows in the Persian Gulf as a marginal sea. Coastal boundary currents exchange heat and freshwater with the mosphere and the offshore waters. As heat and salinity fluxes caused by air-sea interaction and eddy activities, different temperature and salinity associated with boundary current...
