This book presents an excellent collection of contributions addressing different aspects of high-level synthesis from both industry and academia. High-Level Synthesis: from Algorithm to Digital ...Circuit should be on each designer’s and CAD developer’s shelf, as well as on those of project managers who will soon embrace high level design and synthesis for all aspects of digital system design.
This book introduces the latest version of hardware description languages and explains how the languages can be implemented in the design of the digital logic components. In addition to digital ...design, other examples in the areas of bioengineering and basic computer design are covered. Unlike the competition, HDL with Digital Design introduces mixed language programming. By covering both Verilog and VHDL side by side, students, as well as professionals, can learn both the theoretical and practical concepts of digital design. The two languages are equally important in the field of computer engineering and computer science as well as other engineering fields such as simulation and modeling. FEATURES:*Covers both VHDL and Verilog side by side*Uses the latest versions of both Verilog and VHDL*Includes fundamentals of synthesis and FPGAs implementation*Instructor's resources available upon adoption
There is only one book available in the market which was published in the first week of December 2004 which concentrates mainly on the language analysis and tool consumption of assertions, while this ...book concentrates on the basic language in the first two chapters and gets into pricatical examples of real ASIC designs. The book provides a library of pre-written checkers that any one can use out of the box. It also shows engineers how to verify different types of design blocks with assertions. In summary this book will be a practical guide for ABV methodology and not just a syntax primers.
Currently employed at STMicroelectronics, Transactional-Level Modeling (TLM) puts forward a novel SoC design methodology beyond RTL with measured improvements of productivity and first time silicon ...success. The SystemC consortium has published the official TLM development kit in May 2005 to standardize this modeling technique. The library is flexible enough to model components and systems at many different levels of abstractions: from cycle-accurate to untimed models, and from bit-true behavior to floating-point algorithms. However, careful selection of the abstraction level and associated methodology is crucial to ensure practical gains for design teams. Transaction-Level Modeling with SystemC presents the formalized abstraction and related methodology defined at STMicroelectronics, and covers all major topics related to the Electronic System-Level (ESL) industry: - TLM modeling concepts - Early embedded software development based on SoC virtual prototypes - Functional verification using reference models - Architecture analysis with mixed TLM and cycle accurate platforms - Unifying TLM and RTL with platform automation tools Complementary to the book, open source code to put this approach into practice is available on several Internet sites as indicated in the first chapter.
Der Entwurf digitaler Hardware beruht heute im Wesentlichen auf so genannten Hardwarebeschreibungssprachen. Jedoch sind für den erfolgreichen Entwurf nicht nur Kenntnisse einer ...Hardwarebeschreibungssprache wichtig, sondern auch Kenntnisse der digitalen Schaltungstechnik sowie der rechnergestützten Entwurfswerkzeuge. Dieses Lehrbuch bietet eine zielgerichtete Einführung in den Entwurf digitaler Schaltungen und Systeme, beginnend bei MOS-Transistoren und FPGA-Technologien bis hin zu aktuellsten Entwicklungen der Synthese (High- Level-Synthese) und den Hardwarebeschreibungssprachen VHDL und SystemC.
Industrial Internet of Things (I-IoT) applications require a large number of sensor data to be processed under tight delay and jitter constraints. In such applications, flexible event detection and ...fast reaction to critical events is an important building block. Traditional approaches use either proprietary networks and dedicated hardware or transmit sensor data towards processing elements in the Cloud or at the Network Edge, using distributed stream processing frameworks. For scalability, a large number of servers are needed and processing on commodity CPUs typically involves high and unpredictable latency. In this paper, we explore how programmable data planes can be used to detect events flexibly and trigger customized and programmable actions directly from the switch program or the programmable network interface card (SmartNIC). We present FastReact-PS, an event-based publish/subscribe I-IoT processing framework in P4 language, which can be flexibly customized from the control plane. Together with stateful processing, FastReact-PS supports windowed time series analysis as well as complex event detection and processing based on boolean logic directly in the data plane of newly emerging programmable networking devices. The logic can be adjusted dynamically from the control plane without the need for recompilation. We implement FastReact-PS in P4 and evaluate it on both a SmartNIC and a DPDK-based software switch running in user space. Our evaluation shows that the latency is reduced by one order of magnitude compared to end-host based approaches at significantly lower jitter while being scalable to processing up to 11 million events per second.
Verification is too often approached in an ad hoc fashion. Visually inspecting simulation results is no longer feasible and the directed test-case methodology is reaching its limit. Moore's Law ...demands a productivity revolution in functional verification methodology. Writing Testbenches Using SystemVerilog offers a clear blueprint of a verification process that aims for first-time success using the SystemVerilog language. From simulators to source management tools, from specification to functional coverage, from I's and O's to high-level abstractions, from interfaces to bus-functional models, from transactions to self-checking testbenches, from directed testcases to constrained random generators, from behavioral models to regression suites, this book covers it all. Writing Testbenches Using SystemVerilog presents many of the functional verification features that were added to the Verilog language as part of SystemVerilog. Interfaces, virtual modports, classes, program blocks, clocking blocks and others SystemVerilog features are introduced within a coherent verification methodology and usage model. Writing Testbenches Using SystemVerilog introduces the reader to all elements of a modern, scalable verification methodology. It is an introduction and prelude to the verification methodology detailed in the Verification Methodology Manual for SystemVerilog.
Efficient design of embedded processors plays a critical role in embedded systems design. Processor description languages and their associated specification, exploration and rapid prototyping ...methodologies are used to find the best possible design for a given set of applications under various design constraints, such as area, power and performance. This book is the first, comprehensive survey of modern architecture description languages and will be an invaluable reference for embedded system architects, designers, developers, and validation engineers. Readers will see that the use of particular architecture description languages will lead to productivity gains in designing particular (application-specific) types of embedded processors.
