About this book
The size of technically producible integrated circuits increases continuously. But the ability to design and verify these circuits does not keep up with this development. Therefore today’s design flow has to be improved to achieve a higher productivity. In Robustness and Usability in Modern Design Flows the current design methodology and verification methodology are analyzed, a number of deficiencies are identified and solutions suggested. Improvements in the methodology as well as in the underlying algorithms are proposed.
An in-depth presentation of preliminary concepts makes the book self-contained. Based on this foundation major design problems are targeted. In particular, a complete tool flow for Synthesis for Testability of SystemC descriptions is presented. The resulting circuits are completely testable and test pattern generation in polynomial time is possible. Verification issues are covered in even more detail. A whole new paradigm for formal design verification is suggested. This is based upon design understanding, the automatic generation of properties and powerful tool support for debugging failures. All these new techniques are empirically evaluated and experimental results are provided.
As a result, an enhanced design flow is created that provides more automation (i.e. better usability) and reduces the probability of introducing conceptual errors (i.e. higher robustness).
Written for:
Persons who work in the area of computer aided design of circuits and systems, in particular, those who are interested in new methods to further increase the productivity within the design flow; includes tool developers, researchers, and graduate students
