    摘要： The invention utilizes the linear complexity of orthogonal vectors to reduce the number of equations (or variables) to be solved. The present invention constructs a power model of a set of combinations of states without considering irrelevant combinations. The invention distinguishes between the switching direction on the input and the output pin. The invention considers state-dependency as a function of power consumed and depending on the paths through internal nodes. The model considers switching input pins that do not cause the output pin to switch to overcome inaccuracies caused by combining the power pin model with the state and arc power model with state. The model considers switching input pins that cause the output pin to switch. For cells in which the slewrate propagation effect from input to output is negligible, the invention uses a model of 2 power pins with state. The invention also determines the validity of this model. The present invention also models a power arc from one input pin to multiple output pins.

    摘要： A method and apparatus are disclosed to achieve a resource optimized, class of RS decoders, featuring balanced pipelined stages and parallel algorithmic components. Our RS decoder has two pipeline stages, with one stage implementing syndrome computation and the second stage implementing error locator polynomial evaluation, error location and error correction. Since the second pipeline stage performs several tasks, these tasks can share resources with each other, resulting in a compact implementation. In addition, we present a technique that can be used to compute the level of parallelism required of two key algorithmic components (syndrome computation, error location) so that the RS decoder can handle inputs of variable rates, with minimal latency and resource consumption. We show that low latency, in itself, is an important consideration for RS decoders, and can lead to reduced buffering, resulting in significant hardware savings.

    摘要： Hardware-software co-synthesis is the process of partitioning an embedded system specification into hardware and software modules to meet performance, power, and cost goals. Embedded systems are generally specified in terms of a set of acyclic task graphs. According to one embodiment of the present invention, a co-synthesis algorithm, called COSYN, starts with periodic task graphs with real-time constraints and produces a low-cost heterogeneous distributed embedded system architecture meeting these constraints. The algorithm has the following features: 1) it allows the use of multiple types of processing elements (PEs) and inter-PE communication links, where the links can take various forms (point-to-point, bus, local area network, etc.), 2) it supports both concurrent and sequential modes of communication and computation, 3) it employs a combination of preemptive and non-preemptive scheduling, 4) it introduces the concept of an association array to tackle the problem of multi-rate systems (which are commonly found in multimedia applications), 5) it uses a static scheduler based on deadline-based priority levels for accurate performance estimation of a co-synthesis solution, 6) it uses a new task clustering technique which takes the changing nature of the critical path in the task graph into account, 7) it supports pipelining of task graphs to derive a cost-efficient architecture, 8) it supports a mix of various technologies, such as 5 V CMOS, 3.3 V CMOS, 2.7 V CMOS, ECL, etc., to meet embedded system constraints and minimize power dissipation, and 9) if desired, it also optimizes the architecture for power consumption.
