摘要:
A combined adder and logic unit having a reduced operation delay of arithmetic and logic operations, and providing an improved fan in and reduced wiring delays and capacity if implemented in the arithmetic and logic section of a microprocessor chip. The unit comprises a carry network (30) connected to operand inputs for generating carry-out signals of the byte positions (By0-By7) and further comprises a pre-sum logic (32) having a bit function generator (42) and a sum generator (45, 46, 48). Said bit function generator derives from the operands Ai and Bi bit functions Gi, Pi which are provided as logic function output and as input to said sum generator for producing preliminary arithmetic functions (SUM0, SUM1) to anticipate carry-in signals of one or zero. A result selector (70) is controlled by a byte position carry-out signal (Cy55) from the carry network means and by operation control signals to select from the output of said pre-sum logic one of the arithmetic functions (SUM0, SUM1) or one of the logic functions as result of the unit operation.

A combined binary/decimal adder unit reduces the operation delay ine processing binary coded decimal operands and permit an increased cycle rate of a processor unit in which the combined binary/decimal adder unit is utilized. Pre-sums are generated for each decimal digit position in parallel to the generation and distribution of the carries over the total of decimal digit positions of the adder unit. The pre-sums anticipate the carry-in of the decimal positions and the need to perform six corrections after the carry-out signal of the highest decimal digit position has been generated. The carry-out signal of each decimal digit position is used in combination with operation control signals to select the correct pre-sum of the digit position.

A method, circuit apparatus, and a design structure on which the circuit resides, is provided to perform a subtraction of two operands in a binary arithmetic unit by subdividing two operands into groups of equal numbers of bits, generating, by appropriate arithmetic operations, pairs of intermediate results for the particular groups of bits of the two operands comprising the same bit positions, respectively. A first intermediate result of each pair of intermediate results is generated under the assumption of a carry-in of ‘0’ and a second intermediate result of each pair of intermediate results is generated under the assumption of a carry-in of ‘1’. The correct intermediate result of each particular pair of intermediate results from each group of bits is selected, and the result of the subtraction of the two operands is generated by an appropriate merging of the selected correct intermediate results.

Some example embodiments include an apparatus for comparing a first operand to a second operand. The apparatus includes a SIMD accelerator configured to compare first multiple parts (e.g., bytes) of first operand to second multiple parts (e.g., bytes) of the second operand. The SIMD accelerator includes a ones' complement subtraction logic and a twos' complement logic configured to perform logic operations on the multiple parts of the first operand and the multiple parts of the second operand to generate a group of carry out and propagate data across bits of the multiple parts. At least a portion of the group of carry out and propagate data is reused in the group of logic operations.

According to the present invention an automated method is provided for routing and designing an LSI (Large Scale Integrated Circuit). First, at least one generic of an instance of a book to be connected is located on the chip, wherein a generic of an instance is an area defined according to the measurements of said instance. Then, an initial route to said instance is generated by optimizing the route to the corresponding generic according to given design rules. Thereby, an optimized pin location is determined for said instance. Then, on the basis of said optimized pin location a layout for said instance is generated in place of the corresponding generic. Finally, the actually generated pin is connected with the corresponding end of the initial route.

A computer-readable storage storing instructions for a processor. Execution of the instructions causes loading unit timing data descriptive of an upper hierarchy. Execution of the instructions cause the loading of a unit timing path, and the loading of macro timing data into the memory. Execution of the instructions further cause the replacement of at least a portion of the unit timing report with the macro timing data, and computation of arrival times, slacks, and slews. Execution of the instructions also cause computation of path statistics in accordance with the arrival times, slacks and slews, and generation of a end point report for the unit timing path, including path statistics.
