Welcome to ASP-DAC '98

This is the third meeting of the Asia and South Pacific Design Automation Conference (ASP-DAC '98) with EDA Techno Fair '98 to be held in the Pacifico Yokohama, Japan. This conference provides an international forum for researchers and engineers worldwide in electronic systems, VLSI design, and CADEDA. ASP-DAC is regarded as a sister conference of DAC in the U.S.

A recent topic in design technology has been the Design Productivity Crisis in the deep submicron era. In order to overcome this difficulty it will be essential to have interaction between different communities, that is, academia, industry, electronic system and circuit design engineers, and EDA (Electronic Design Automation) developers.

ASP-DAC '98 will facilitate technical interchanges among people in these various communities and thereby advances the state of the art in VLSI design and design automation.

Keynote speakers will present topics and strategies for VLSI design in the deep submicron era. Gady Singer, general manager of design technology at Intel, will talk about the strategy for breaking through the design difficulties that will be encountered in developing general-purpose microprocessors, including the Pentium series, in future. Hisashi Yamada, Chief Fellow of Technology of Toshiba, will talk about his group's experience in developing a DVD multimedia system. Anantha Chandrakasan will talk about design methodologies for low power LSI such as dynamically variable supply, multiple and variable threshold CMOS, self-powered systems, custom vs. programmable implementations, etc.

The program, decided by the Technical Program Committee (TPC), consists of technical sessions, special sessions, and panel sessions. The university design contest is the second trial to encourage academics to enter VLSI implementation.Prof. Onodera has selected five one-day tutorials on Tuesday. Topics are design for merging logic and DRAM, high-performance system LSI design, deep submicron design, co-design with IP core, and low-power design.

EDA Techno Fair '98 (the fifth of these annual premier Japanese EDA shows) is collocated with ASP-DAC '98. Exhibitors are companies including EDA vendors, EDA developers, and ASIC vendors.

I would like to thank all the members of the steering committee, organizing committee, technical program committee, and university design contest committee for their voluntary services.

I hope you enjoy the conference and the various events to be held in conjunction with it.

General Chair, ASP-DAG '98

On behalf of the Technical Program Committee, we would like to welcome you to ASP-DAC '98, which is the third, but the second after changing biennial to annual, in a series of international conferences to be held in Asia and South Pacific regions concerning the fields of design automation and design methodology of electronic systems. This year, we received more than 120 good papers from around 12 countries. The high technical standard of the submitted papers reflects that researchers and engineers in the fields have begun to recognize shuji Tsukiyama this annual conference as an important forum for interchanging their ideas and opinions.

Philip Chan

In order to further stimulate the discussion between system/circuit designers and design automation researchers, we have tried to emphasize design methodology more than the last year, and hence the "Area of Interest" in the Call for Papers were divided into two big categories; "Design Technology" and "Design Automation Technology."

The Technical Program Committee consisting of experts from industry and academia around the world was organized into 9 groups according to the categories of the Area of Interest. Each group conducted the peer review and discussion for evaluating and selecting the submitted papers. Thanks to their great efforts, 74 regular and short papers were accepted and arranged in the three regular tracks of the technical program.

Similarly to the last ASP-DAC, the technical program is structured under four parallel tracks; three regular tracks and one special track. Special sessions composed of invited talks and panel sessions are incorporated into the special track, together with University LSI Design Contest presentation and poster. These invited talks and panels are selected carefully by the Technical Program Committee from the hot topics in Design Technology and Design Automation Technology, and features the conference. Since the embedded tutorials were well received and attended last year, seven embedded tutorials are put into the regular tracks in order to introduce the state of the art. Please attend the sessions you are interested in and enjoy stimulating discussions about Design Technology and Design Automation Technology.

Finally, we would like to take this opportunity to thank all individuals, in particular, all authors, members of the Technical Program Committee, and session co-chairs. Without their contributions and dedications, the conference could not maintain the high level of quality. We believe that due to their efforts, ASP-DAC is establishing its position in the fastest developing area of the high-technology world.

And also, a certain number of awards will be given to the designs selected from those presented at the conference.

Akihiko Morino Chak-Kuen Wong Akinori Nishihara

Application areas, or types of circuits include, Microprocessors, Digital Signal processing, Custom Application Specific Circuits, and Analog and Mixed-Signal Circuits. Methods, or technologies employed in the implementation include, full custom and cell-based LSIs, gate arrays,and field programmable devices, including FPGA/PLDs.

This year, thirteen selected designs from three countries will be disclosed in Session 5D, with a short aural presentations, followed by Q & A, using posters. Demonstrations on the achievements will also be made for some designs. Opportunities for demonstrations at EDA TechnoFair'98 will be provided for the above designs.

Submitted designs were reviewed by the members of the University LSI Design Contest Committee, based on the following criteria: ( 1) Reliability of design and implementation, (2) Quality of implementation, (3) Performance of the design, (4) Originality, and ( 5 ) Additional factors. In the selection process, emphasis were placed more on the above criteria (1) and (2). As a result, thirteen designs were selected for the presentation at the conference.

It is our great pleasure if the design contest will contribute to the promotion of LSI design and its implementation at universities and other educational organizations. It is also our hope that many people in the industry will be interested in the contest.

A CMOS imaging array with block access function and an analog two-dimensional discrete cosine transform (DCT) processor using switched capacitor circuits are implemented in one chip. Two-dimensional 8x8-point DCT is computed by repeated 1-D 8-point DCTs. SC circuits perform 32 multiplications and 32 additions in 8-point DCT in parallel. This chip is combined with an adaptive A-D converter and an entropy coder to produce motion JPEG signals. Analog approach makes it possible to reduce the power dissipation. The chip consisting of 128 x 128- pixel imager and a DCT processor is fabricated with 0.35 pm CMOS. The chip size is 4.95 mm x 4.95 mm and it consumes less than 20 mW. Although there are some contribution from a company, the original idea, circuit design and layout design come from university side. The design shows the performance feasibility of analog approach, and deserves a Special Feature Award.

Keynote Address I EDA beyond 2000 - Evolution or Revolution?

Gadi Singer General Manager, Design Technology, Microprocessor Group, Intel

The keynote address will analyze future semiconductor design trends and characterize the EDA capabilities that can help meet some of the critical design and test challenges for the year 2000 and beyond. Further, the address will offer an analysis of the current state and the future direction of the EDA industry from four perspectives. In each area, the potential inflection points will be sought, identifying where the EDA world is likely to experience radical changes compared to the evolutionary trends of the past decade. The four perspectives are -

Technology: Chip designs of the future will have to address ever-increasing complexity (>50M transistors), high frequencies (>2 GHz), low voltages (<lV), and surging currents (>100A). After a look at current trends, the address will examine the implications for the tools and methods needed to design and test the new generations of chips. In addition, ways to enhance the alignment between the semiconductor and EDA roadmaps will be explored.

Computing: Today's computing paradigms are based on decade-old concepts and may not be able to meet future design complexity and design productivity needs. The address will outline the opportunities created by the new computing/software era, including multiple CPUs, tightly integrated high horsepower workstation farms, seamless integration of office and engineering applications, use of the Internet, and similar phenomena.

Business: The continuing consolidation of the EDA industry and new business trends, such as the push into design services, is leading to a new set of business dynamics in the industry. The address will examine these and other market forces (system on chip, the new age IP market) and assess the implications for the EDA industry.

Standards and Interoperability: The address will draw comparisons between the EDA industry and other industries in terms of their use of standards and resulting interoperability. A demonstration of how standards and interoperability will be one of the keys to growing the industry and staying aligned with future design needs will be presented. The address will also provide a brief overview of the EDA industry council's efforts in trying to bring about greater standardization in the industry.

and Role of LSI in Multi-Source Multimedia

isashi Yamada Toshiba Corp.

LSI has been the key technology to construct electronic systems for past 30 years. Any information technology or signal processing technology has been depending on the LSI technology at real implementation stage. Although the basic theory was established long before the real application of the theory, actual introduction can be predicted by estimating the hardware size of the system required for the real implementation. Since LSI progress has been measured by the DRAM capacity and microprocessor computational power, we can estimate the logic LSI through put by those LSI progress power. DVD has been proposed considering the LSI progress and it's introduction timing was estimated from the cost estimation of the key LSI such as MPEG decompression LSI.

DVD is proposed as a unified media for multi-source multimedia era that provides unified environment for multi-source handling. Any software or application of information processing technology is depending on the LSI technology and system integration is key issue for cost reduction and compact system realization.

ainly there is two major area for role of LSI, one is performance improvement and cost reduction by increasing system integration scale namely system on chip, and the other one is miniaturization and power consumption reduction by integration to realize mobile equipment. There are always trade-off between power consumption and system complexity. Usually, in digital system, system designer want to integrate more sophisticated feature into the LSI, but always there is a definite limit for power consumption for mobile equipment. So the key issue to win the competition is how fast you can achieve system integration and low power consumption. Since life of a LSI is very short until that becomes mature, then continuous evolution of the integration is always required. From the environment stated above, CAD technology becomes key issue for competition in multi-source multimedia era. More accurate and user friendly design tool is the most important for competition today.

Keynote Address I11 Trends in Energy Efficient Computing

Anantha Chandrakasan Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge

Energy efficient system design requires systematic optimization at all levels of the design abstraction ranging from process technology and logic design to architectures and algorithms. Significant advances have been made in reducing the energy consumption of digital processors over the past few years and this presentation will highlight some the recent directions in energy efficient computing.

The energy expended per operation is continually improving as the power supply voltages are scaled. Reduced device thresholds and electronic tuning techniques have enabled the aggressive scaling of power supply voltages, but the increased leakaige is not acceptable for "event-driven" computation that have long idle periods. Several emerging process technologies such as Multiple and Variable threshold CMOS (bulk and SOI) have addressed the idle mode leakage problem by providing a "knob" to dynamically adjust leakage currents; this enables high- performance during active periods and low-standby lealkage. These technologies pose several new challenges in fabrication technology, design methodologies, and CAD tools.

In many applications, it is desirable to design digital processors that allow a trade-off between the quality of service provided and the average energy consumption (e.g., trading the level of encryption/security for energy). For such applications, there is significant energy advantage in using an embedded power supply scheme where the voltage can be adapted based on computational demand. Rather than designing a system with a static supply to meet a specific timing constraint under worst case conditions (i.e., establishing the feedback around the power converter to fix the output voltage), it is more energy efficient to allow the voltage to vary such that the timing constraints are just met at any given temperature and operating conditions; this is accomplished by establishing the feedback around a fixed processing rate or delay. This approach requires the design of high-efficiency switching regulators that have a fast transient response. Embedded power supply systems can minimize energy consumption under varying temperature, process parameters and computational workload.

Voltage scaling alone is not enough as the complexity increases and as applications that use the portable energy source require further energy reductions. The switched capacitance must be minimized by avoiding unnecessary transitions beyond what is required to implement a given logic function and by minimizing node capacitances. While several interesting techniques have been proposed and used (e.g., clock gating, transistor sizing, compilation techniques, etc.), many opportunities exist to reduce the switched capacitance by exploiting properties of specific systems. For example, in some video applications, exploiting knowledge about signal distributions during architecture development can save more than order of magnitude in energy at a fixed power supply voltage. Similarly, restructuring algorithms to exploit communications capabilities of emerging wireless systems can save orders of magnitude in power consumption of the energy constrained portable unit.
