Techniques for creating a mosaic using user-created content on a content sharing site. Embodiments of the invention may provide an interface on the content sharing site to allow users to create content. Embodiments may then determine a suitability value between the user-created content and portions of a mosaic, and insert the user-created content into a particular portion of the mosaic based on the determined suitability value for the particular portion.
摘要:
A method of passing data among modules of a heterogeneous software system can include identifying a scripted function to be executed within the heterogeneous software system and building a wrapper script by embedding a call to the scripted function and an XTable object associated with the scripted function within the wrapper script. The method further can include executing the wrapper script thereby causing the scripted function to execute and receiving a result from execution of the scripted function.
摘要:
Method and apparatus for creating a circuit design. An object-oriented program instantiates a plurality of objects that model a circuit design. The objects have hierarchy attributes, connectivity attributes, and display attributes that describe a plurality of modules. The hierarchy attributes define parent-child relationships between modules, the connectivity attributes define input-output connections between modules, and the display attributes define a layout of the modules for viewing. Each of the objects has an associated method for generating a design specification in a selected format. When the program is executed, the design specification is generated from the set of objects. Depending on the capabilities of the available tools, the modules and logic elements are displayed in accordance with the display attributes either from the object-oriented program or from the design specification.
摘要:
Translation of an electronic design of an integrated circuit into circuit description language is described. In an example, a connection among circuit descriptions representing behavior of circuit elements in the electronic design is identified. The connection is associated with an identifier. The electronic design is then translated into a circuit description language representation, where the connection is implemented within the circuit description language representation using the identifier. In another example, an implicit circuit description representing behavior of circuit elements within the electronic design are identified. Explicit circuit descriptions within the electronic design are augmented with an addition circuit description. The electronic design is then translated into a circuit description language representation.
摘要:
Method, apparatus, and computer readable medium for translating an electronic design of an integrated circuit into circuit description language is described. The electronic design includes a plurality of circuit descriptions representing behavior of circuit elements. A circuit description template is associated with a circuit description of the plurality of circuit descriptions. The circuit description template includes a first portion for fixed attributes of the circuit description and a second portion for variable attributes of the circuit description. One or more text processors are associated with the circuit description template. Variable attributes of the circuit description are related to the second portion of the circuit description template to produce a data structure. The circuit description template is processed using the one or more text processors with the data structure as parametric input.
摘要:
Method and apparatus for clock stabilization detection for hardware simulation is described. More particularly, a lock signal is obtained, for example from a digital clock module. A least common multiple (LCM) clock signal is generated, for example from a clock module. A control signal is generated at least partially responsive to the LCM clock signal and the lock signal. The control signal may be generated from a state machine and applied to select circuitry, where the control signal is used to mask application of the output clock signal responsive to the control signal.
摘要:
Co-simulation of an electronic circuit design using an embedded processor on a programmable logic device (PLD). The programmable logic resources of a PLD are used to perform hardware-based co-simulation of a first portion of the electronic circuit design. Software-based co-simulation of a second portion of the electronic circuit design is performed using the embedded processor.
摘要:
A method of modeling a design in a high level modeling system that supports unidirectional data flow, may comprise identifying a bus-block to represent a connectivity of a bi-directional bus in an system. The bus-block may be represented in serial relationship with the bus. Taps may interface the bus via the bus-block. During simulation, the bus-block emulates behavior of a tri-state buffer in series with an input line for the tap interface. During synthesis, pairs of unidirectional input and output lines of opposite data-routing orientation, which may emulate bus ports to the bus-block, may be collapsed to a single bus port. The synthesis may further generate a netlist that may dispose a tri-state buffer between a tap input and the bus. The netlist may also represent layout of the tri-state buffer for driving an output of the tap.
摘要:
Method and apparatus for preparing a design in a high-level modeling system. Hardware description language (HDL) code is generated for one or more of a plurality of high-level subsystems in a high-level design tagged by the user for HDL code generation. Previously generated HDL code may be reused instead of generating new HDL code for each subsystem tagged by the user for HDL code reuse.
摘要:
Partial reconfiguration of a programmable logic device is used in combination with a shared memory block for communicating between two blocks of an electronic circuit design. In one embodiment, a shared memory is implemented on RAM resources of a field programmable gate array (FPGA), and a first design block implemented in resources of the FPGA is coupled to the shared memory. A second design block is also coupled to the shared memory. In response to a write request by the second design block, a process determines the RAM resources of the FPGA that correspond to the shared memory address in the write request. A configuration bitstream is generated to include configuration data for partial reconfiguration of the FPGA with the data from the write request at the appropriate RAM resources. The FPGA is partially reconfigured with the configuration bitstream via a configuration port of the FPGA.
