General Chair’s Message

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 engineersworldwide in electronic systems, VLSI design, and CAD/EDA. ASP-DAC is regardedas a sister conference of DAC in the U.S.

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

ASP-DAC’98 will facilitate technical interchanges among people in these variouscommunities and thereby advances the state of the art in VLSI design and designautomation.

Keynote speakers will present topics and strategies for VLSI design in the deepsubmicron era. Gady Singer, general manager of design technology at Intel, will talkabout the strategy for breaking through the design difficulties that will be encounteredin developing general-purpose microprocessors, including the Pentium series, in future.Hisashi Yamada, Chief Fellow of Technology of Toshiba, will talk about his group’sexperience in developing a DVD multimedia system. Anantha Chandrakasan will talkabout 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 technicalsessions, special sessions, and panel sessions. The university design contest is the secondtrial to encourage academics to enter VLSI implementation. Prof. Onodera has selectedfive 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, andlow-power design.

EDA Techno Fair’98 (the fifth of these annual premier Japanese EDA shows) is collocatedwith 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 theirvoluntary services.

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

Technical Program Co-Chairs’ Message

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 internationalconferences to be held in Asia and South Pacific regions concerning the fields of designautomation and design methodology of electronic systems. This year, we received more than120 good papers from around 12 countries. The high technical standard of the submitted papersreflects that researchers and engineers in the fields have begun to recognize this annualconference as an important forum for interchanging their ideas and opinions.

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

The Technical Program Committee consisting of experts from industry and academia aroundthe world was organized into 9 groups according to the categories of the Area of Interest. Eachgroup conducted the peer review and discussion for evaluating and selecting the submittedpapers. Thanks to their great efforts, 74 regular and short papers were accepted and arranged inthe 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 panelsessions are incorporated into the special track, together with University LSI Design Contestpresentation and poster. These invited talks and panels are selected carefully by the TechnicalProgram Committee from the hot topics in Design Technology and Design AutomationTechnology, and features the conference. Since the embedded tutorials were well received andattended last year, seven embedded tutorials are put into the regular tracks in order to introducethe state of the art. Please attend the sessions you are interested in and enjoy stimulatingdiscussions 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 theircontributions and dedications, the conference could not maintain the high level of quality. Webelieve that due to their efforts, ASP-DAC is establishing its position in thefastest developing area of the high-technology world.

On behalf of the University LSI Design Contest Committee, we would like to welcome you tothe University LSI Design Contest. The aim of this Contest is to encourage the education andresearch on LSI design and its implementation into chips, at universities and other educationalorganizations, by providing the opportunities to present and discuss those designs at theconference. And also, a certain number of awards will be given to the designs selected fromthose presented at the conference.

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

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

Submitted designs were reviewed by the members of the University LSI Design ContestCommittee, based on the following criteria: (1) Reliability of design and implementation, (2)Quality of implementation, (3) Performance of the design, (4) Originality, and (5) Additionalfactors. In the selection process, emphasis were placed more on the above criteria (1) and (2). Asa 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 andits implementation at universities and other educational organizations. It is also our hope thatmany people in the industry will be interested in the contest.

Keynote Address IEDA 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 EDAcapabilities that can help meet some of the critical design and test challenges for the year 2000and beyond. Further, the address will offer an analysis of the current state and the futuredirection of the EDA industry from four perspectives. In each area, the potential inflectionpoints will be sought, identifying where the EDA world is likely to experience radical changescompared to the evolutionary trends of the past decade. The four perspectives are -

1. Technology: Chip designs of the future will have to address ever-increasing complexity(>50M transistors), high frequencies (>2 GHz), low voltages (<1V), and surging currents(>100A). After a look at current trends, the address will examine the implications for thetools 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 beexplored.

2. Computing: Today’s computing paradigms are based on decade-old concepts and may notbe able to meet future design complexity and design productivity needs. The address willoutline the opportunities created by the new computing/software era, including multipleCPUs, tightly integrated high horsepower workstation farms, seamless integration ofoffice and engineering applications, use of the Internet, and similar phenomena.

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

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

Keynote Address IIDVD and Role of LSI in Multi-Source Multimedia

Hisashi Yamada Toshiba Corp.

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

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

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

Keynote Address III

Trends in Energy Efficient Computing

Anantha ChandrakasanMassachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge

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

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

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

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