    摘要: A circuit and a method for providing an indication of the position of a bit having a selected characteristic in an n-bit binary word are disclosed. The n bits of the binary word are arranged into groups of W bits so that each group is input to a fundamental encoder. The position of the bit having the selected characteristic, among each group of W bits is provided as an encoded output. A multiplexer tree provides a single output indicative of the position of the bit having the selected characteristic in the binary word based on the encoded outputs from the encoders.

    摘要: A rounding means is associated with a carry propagate adder of a floating point processor in order to reduce latency and enhance performance. The rounding mechanism performs a rounding function approximately simultaneously with an addition function performed by the carry propagate adder on fraction inputs FA, FB to ultimately derive a resultant fraction FR, thereby eliminating the need for a conventional post-normalize incrementer. The rounding mechanism has a carry select adder and rounding logic network. The rounding logic network communicates with the carry propagate adder and the carry select adder in order to provide rounding information to the carry select adder. The carry select adder and the rounding logic network jointly provide a rounded output, which is then normalized by the normalizer to thereby derive the resultant fraction.

    摘要: A communications socket between a logic simulator and a system for generating input stimuli based on the current state of the logic simulator is provided. Input stimuli to the logic simulator for use in implementing a particular circuit design simulation are calculated by interfacing an input program which models the function of the circuit being designed with the logic simulator. The lines in this input program are converted by an adaptive vector generator into communications signals which are understandable by the logic simulator so that the desired simulation may take place. The input program thus enables the adaptive vector generator to behaviorally model complex logical systems that the logic simulator model is only a part of and allows for more accurate and detailed simulation. The adaptive vector generator does this by determining the next input vector state in accordance with the present state of the logic simulator model as received from the communications socket. In other words, based on the state data received from the logic simulator, the adaptive vector generation automatically calculates the next stimulus pattern for the logic simulator model and provides this stimuli to the logic simulator through the communications socket. This technique removes the tediousness of the prior art techniques in that the design engineer no longer needs to specify every input step and to anticipate the output state of the circuit.
