Floorplanning Methods

7.2. Floorplanning Methods
Floorplanning is chip-level layout design. When designing a leaf cell, we used transistors and vias as our basic components; floorplanning uses the adders, registers, and FSMs as the building blocks. The fundamental difference between floorplanning and leaf-cell design is that floorplanning works with components that are much larger than the wires connecting them. This great size mismatch forces us to analyze the layout differently and to make different trade-offs during design.

Many chips are composed from cells of a variety of shapes and sizes, as shown in Figure 7-1. We call the layout cells blocks during floorplanning because we use them like building blocks to construct the floorplan. In bricks-and-mortar style layout, the cells may have radically different sizes and shapes. The layout program must place the components on the chip by position and orientation, leaving sufficient space between the components for the necessary wires. Blocks may be redesigned to change their aspect ratio in order to improve the floorplan. As we will see, the more complex traffic pattern of wiring areas makes routing wires in a bricks-and-mortar layout much harder than in a standard cell layout. (Some people use the term standard cell for any layout, including brick-and-mortar, which is built from pre-designed components. Since standard cell is a much abused term, be sure you understand its meaning in the context in which it is used.)

Example 7-1. Floorplan of the IBM Power 2 Super Chip
The Power 2 Super Chip (P2SC) is a large microprocessor. It has over 15 million transistors (5.7 million logic, 9.3 million cache) on an 18.2x18.4mm2 die. The chip is fabricated in a 0.27μm, 5-level-metal process. The chip comes in 120 and 135 MHz versions.

This chip is large enough that each of the units in the chip-level floorplan has its own internal floorplan. The DCU units contain memory arrays as well as driver and control logic. The ICU unit contains several data paths along with the necessary control logic.

The idea
Integrate APAC into the enterprise network to improve ability to access and share worldwide network resources, applications and shared folders.

The client
Honeywell is a $23 billion diversified technology and manufacturing leader, serving customers worldwide.


The business challenge
Honeywell's Windows architecture for the Asia Pacific region (APAC) region comprised of 16 account domains, spread across 11 countries and 58 sites. The lack of integration was severely hampering the ability of APAC employees to access computer resources across the company, including critical corporate applications. Employees around the world had similar difficulties accessing information on the APAC network.
The solution
Wipro carried out a pre-migration workshop for better understanding of Honeywell's requirements.
Six WINS servers and 12 Domain Controllers were deployed in 11 countries to support the WINS and NT migration initiatives. Following this Honeywell's APAC network was integrated with the rest of the network to support the strategic initiatives. Users and groups were migrated from 16 domains into a single master account domain.
Elaborate risk and mitigation plans were identified for addressing issues and concerns during the project. In spite of relocation of a project team due to the SARS outbreak, there was zero impact on project delivery and the execution of the entire project was performed from a single location and completed ahead of schedule
Wipro received a Customer Satisfaction Rating of 5/5 from Honeywell on delivery, quality and service.

Business benefits
Enhanced collaboration and resource sharing across global locations.
Centralized management and fewer management entities.
Continued access to network resources even during link failures with a revised authentication approach

ABSTRACT
In this paper, a new thermal simulator is developed to
predict the steady-state and transient temperatures inside
a VLSI chip subjected to hea.ting by single or multiple
heat sources. It uses a mixed 3-D finite-difference
and 1-D analogous thermal circuit method, taking into
account any combination of boundary conditions, shape
of heat> sources, and packaging. An analytical method is
also presented and compared to the numerical method.
With this tool, the chip temperature can be predicted
accurately to provide design guidelines for VLSI module
placement and chip packaging.
I. INTRODUCTION
With downward scaling of device dimensions, the number
of gates on a single chip has been increasing steadily. The
increase in the chip size and power dissipation has lead
to an increase in the chip temperature. In fact, the temperature
of a packaged VLSI chip can vary by as many as
a few tens of degrees from the center to the edges of the
chip.
In the past, device and circuit-level thermal simulators
[l, 21 were developed to predict the device temperature as
a function of dissipated power or the temperature profile
of the whole integrated circuit. For small geometries, 1-
D a.nd 2-D simulations were adopted and the packaging
effects and the relative boundary conditions(BC's) were
usually simplified or even overlooked. In a VLSI chip,
however, these effects play important roles in determining
the temperature distribution over an entire chip.
The objective of this paper is to develop a chip-level
thermal simulator to accurately determine the temperature
distribution over a VLSI chip. The chip dimensions,
the shape and layout of heat sources, amount of dissipated

Force Rome Laboratory (F30602-94-1-0006), JSEP (N00014-94-Jpowers,
packaging materials, ambient temperatures, and
BC's can be specified by users. Based on this information,
a mixed 3-D finite-difference and 1-D equivalent thermal
circuit simulator calculates the temperature at every mesh
point. An analytical model is also implemented in this
simulator to calculate the temperat,ure of specific points
wit,h computational efficiency.
11. FORMULATION
The heat diffusion equation is the governing equation for
VLSI chip temperatures. For an isotropic material, the
general equation is written as [3]
(1)
-d+2T -d+2T -d+2T -g = _1 _dT
a 2 2 dy2 a z 2 IC at
subjected to the general BC:
where g is the power density of the source(s) (W/m3), k%
is the thermal conductivity (W/m '(2) of the bulk, Q is
the thermal diffusivity, h, is the heat transfer coefficient
(W/m2 "C), and n, is the outward direction normal to the
surface i. For steady-state case, the term will drop out.
Three kinds of BC's can be specified at the six surfaces
of the chip:
1. BC o f t h e first kind, also called isothermal BC. Temperature
is prescribed along the boundary surfaces
in this case and (2) will reduce to T = f2(z, y, z ) .
2. BC of the second kind. This is equivalent to prescribing
the magnitude of the heat flux along the
surfaces and (2) will reduce to = f i ( x , y, z ) . For
fi(z, y, z ) = 0, this is referred as insulated or adia-

BC. The generd form this BC is exactly as
in (2). IIowever, a more physical form can be expressed
as the following:
where Ta is the ambient temperature.
A. Finite-Difference Model
Figure 1 illustrates the simplified model for the simulated
chip by finite-difference method. A 0.5cmx0.5cmx0.05cm
chip is divided, for example, to 50 x 50 x 25 meshpoints,
spccilied by users. Then the fiiiite-difference method is
iL,tivatcd once all the information has been inputted.
Tlie program uses Ihe c:ontrol volume finite-difference
approach [4] and the linear equations are solved using successiv?
over-relaxation algorithm(S0R). Several cases are
simulated as the foilowing. Figure 2 shows the temperature
distribution along the t,he X-Y surface at z 0.025cni
with several rectangular heat sources with different sizes,
different powers at different locations. The BC's are assumed
to be 50 "C all over the four sidewalls(isotherma1)
while insulated at the top and bottom surfaces. Tlie powers
are choseii t80 be 1.4W(source l), 0.4W(source 2) and
2.8W(source 3 ) . This figure reveals the 20 "C difference
from hot spots to the edge:j of the chip. This thermal
simulator can process any smooth heat, function and any
shape of heat sources, besides rectangular sources with
uniform power dissipation.

Transient simulation is also performed. An implicit
scheme 131 was used and the results are shown in Fig. 3.
From this figure we can conclude that it will take about
0.15ms for the chip to reach steady state at source 1, while
only take about 0.05ms at source 3.
Figure 4 shows the temperature distribution with 3
point sources subjected to mixed boundary conditions: top
and bottom surface are isothermal, back and right surfaces
are insulated, and the front, and left surfaces are convective
to ambient temperature 27 "c'. An equivalent contour
plot in Fig. 5 shows that the big temperature jump
around the heat source 1 c m have substantial effect on
any temperature-dependents chip or circuit behaviors.

structures, however, it is more time efficient than numerical
methods whcn the temperatures need to be calculated
for only a few specific points. While the finite-difference
scheme requires information on all the neighboring meshpoints
to calculate the current mesh-point, the analytical
method needs not. For simplicity, only special case with
all six sides kept to zero temperature and with initial temperature
F ( z , y, z ) is presented here [3]:
m=l n=l p=l
K ( p m ,x ), K(vn,y ), i<(vpz, ) are kernels, (om,U, ! qP)a re
eigeiivaliies, F(pm, U,, vp) and ij(p,, v,, qp,t ') are transformed
pairs of F and power density g used in the integral
Transform [3, 51. For real computer implementation, only
finite terms are added. The number of terms used in this
series expansion is determined by the convergence criterion;
the additional terms which cont,ribute only a small
amount(0.01 "C) of change to this summation can be terminated.
To know the temperatures of one thousand out
of all 25000 meshed points, for example, the analytical
method took 10.72 seconds and finite-difference method
took 15.42 seconds CPU time on SUN SPARCstation 10
for the case in Fig. 2.
111. CHIPT EMPERATUWRITEH PACKAGING
It is essential to consider the packaging material and heat
sink in the thermal simulator since they are critical in
determining chip temperatures. Figure 6 shows the realistic
chip picture. This figure includes the bottom heat
sink, plastic or ceramic packaging materials around the
other bulk surfaces, and several pins. There are two more
BC's involved in a packaged chip. Firstly, the temperature
is continuous at the interface of two different materials,
i.e., T(')= 7"2).S econdly, the heat flux is continuous,
i.e., IC!''& an I = k i 2 ) e at interfaces. These extra BC's
could make this problem much more complicated, both
for finite-difference scheme and analytical method. In the
finite-difference scheme, it must take into account the different
thermal conductivities of two or three materials in
conjunction and then apply the above continuity properties.
In the analyt.ica1 method, there is no exact solutioii
of this chip structure. To solve this problem, a time efficient
heuristic method is used. Let us first look at the
chip structure in Fig. 6.
A. Packaged Chip Model for Worst Case Analysis
For the worst case analysis, we can assume the bottom
surface being convective to the ambient and the other five
surfaces adiabatic. This is a good approximation for a system
with small hi, (For example, free convectmionw ith the
air, hi only M 8W/m2 "C) a.nd the thermal conductivity
of the package is small compared to the heat sink. With
these underlying assumpt,ions, simulations can be done as
discussed in section 11.
B. Packaged Chzp Model in Realistic Case
If the above assumptions are removed, then the bottom
heat sink and the other five packaging materials are actually
all convective to the ambient 27 "C and a more
realistic model has to be built. Here we use the analogous
thermal czrcuzt concept for our package simulation,
as pictured in Fig. 7. This idea stems from that what the
t,emperature is to the heat flow is analogous to what the
voltage is to the the current flow. The relationship between
thermal and electric circuit is the following, where
p is the heat flow(TYatt).
mThermal Electriic After having this picture in mind, we now can look at
the thermal conduction problem as an electric one. There
are two kinds of the thermal resistance Ri in this picture:
(i)Rfk = K;Gck:geA, of a plane wall i, where Ai is the
area ,Li is the length of the plane wall, i.e., packages or
heat sink, and liiackagise the thermal conductivity of
the packaging material. (ii) Rth = from plane wall

surfaces to tile air (or other fluid), where hi is the heat
t,ransfer coefscient, as in (2). T; in Fig. 7 is the ambient
temperature around the individual chip surface, i from 1
to 6. Here we have tacitly assumed that we can neglect
the lateral heat diRusion within the packages and the heat
sink so that the analogous i,hermal resistances can be put
in the 1-ID forrn perpendicular to the surfaces as in Fig. 7.
Once this is done, then the two resistances in series can be
added up and we may define a new term for convenience
as thc following:
(5)
where IT; is called overall heat frans,fer coeficzent. Therefore
t8he original complicat,ed packaged chip problem is
mapped to the simplified one by replacing hi's with Hi's.
Rotice that, however, the bulk of the chip still requires 3-
D simulation in stead of 1-11 or 2-U because the thickness
of'tlie hulk is not srnall enough to be ignored.
C. Simulation Resull
In Fig. 8 we show the simulated 3-D temperature profile
using the equivalent thermal circuit model in (5). Here
we assume that the thermal conductivity of the packaging
materialis 230 W/m OC(ceramic) and that ofthe heat sink
is 300 W/rn "C (gold), the thickness of the packages and
lieat sinks are all 0.5 mm. 'I'he lieat, sources are exactly the
same as in Fig. 2. This simulator required 27.90 seconds
CP1J time on SUN SPARCstation 10 for this ciise. We
also plot the lemperature. predicted by the worst case
model A and by the thermal circuit model B in Fig. 9 for
comparison.
Figure 9(a) shows that, the worst case analysis slightly
overestimates t,he chip tkniperature for srnall h; . However,
for t,he large hi ([or (example, 34700 W/m2 '6 for
forced convect,ion) as in Fg. 9(b), thc temperature difference
between model A and B can be as large as 2 'C'
at the boundaries of the chip. This is expected because
in reality, the small amount of heat transfer between the
chip and siirrounding ambient does OCCIII. And this difference
wiil increase as the heat transfer coeflicient increases.
Figure 9: Temperature distributions along the x-direction at
(y,z)=(25,5) (unitmesh point) with two different models and
two different hZ's.
Thus we expect the chip temperature to be lower llian in
tlhe worst case model prediction.
To take t,he effect of the pins into account, we can replace
kiackageii i above approximat,ely by
I& = + (1 - X)I<;aekagt (6)
where X=(Area of pins)/(Totai package area). This
means that we can handle the pins or any ot,her packaging
structures of a chip in our sirnulalor simply by using
equation (6).

Overall System Description

Objectives:



The scope of this project is to design an 8 bit microprocessor using VHDL. The design would then be implemented by putting it on an FPGA. The preliminary goal will be to get several commands to work such as mov and add instructions. The desired instructions to be executed and the data to be operated on should be given to the system as inputs. The result of the executed instructions should be the output. After testing the individual parts they will then be combined to test functionality. The final goal is to program an FPGA with the VHDL that is written.



Overall System Description:



The FPGA, once programmed, should behave much the same as an actual microprocessor. This includes an ALU, working registers, and memory. Each part will be designed separately and tested for functionality. After all parts are working they will be combined together forming a simple microprocessor. Figure 1 shows the basic high-level block diagram of the system.









Figure 1 High-level Block Diagram



Figure 1 shows the basic parts that will be designed. The inputs and outputs will be going into and coming out of the FPGA. The registers, ALU, and memory will actually be programmed on the FPGA. The individual parts will be designed separately and then integrated into one system by the use of components or packages in VHDL.



Inputs and Outputs:



It is not decided yet how the final implementation will take in the inputs. To begin with it will simply use different lines high or low to indicate what section is being tested. The instructions will be handled in the same manner. The data that will be operated on will be fed directly into the simulation to begin with. Later different implementations for data and instruction input will be explored such as loading from an EPROM. The outputs will either be the results that are stored in the various registers or various pins will be examined for the expected behavior.



Operations:



There will be several different executable instructions available. The number of them will depend on time constraints and the degree of success with implementing the preliminary instructions. The first instructions that will be implemented will be mov and add. Later additions would possibly include compare instructions, various jumps, logic functions, and other arithmetic operations.

Analog VLSI hardware for fuzzy systems

Analog VLSI hardware for fuzzy systems

Our world has an analog nature and it is natural
to process signals in an analog way. Analog signal processing
can be much faster than digital ones and AD or DA
conversion is not required. The main obstacle is to develop
adequate circuits for nonlinear signal processing. In the
presentation several new circuits are proposed. These
circuits use nonlinear characteristics of MOS transistors for
nonlinear signal processing. The fuzzy signal processing is
used as an example. The proposed fuwier circuits are
relatively simple while almost arbitrary shapes of
membership functions can be obtained. The proposed
current mode MAX and MIN operators exhibit accuracy
superior to other circuits. The defudier circuit uses the
concept of signal normalization and weighted sum. New
normalization circuit, operating in the subthreshold
conduction mode, exhibits almost ideal characteristics. The
described new building blocks were used to design the entire
analog fuzzy VLSI chip.
mode, which means that the current not voltage carries the
information.right?


Numerous applications of industrial. electronics use
intelligent control systems. For example many motor
control systems require sophisticated computation. The
intelligence is also involved in smart sensors that are able
to measure flux and other electrical parameters just by
analyzing currents and voltages on the supply terminals.
Hardware implementation of intelligent systems use
computers or microcomputers for the computation. The
digital approach has many advantages. Primarily it is
flexible and easy to be reprogrammed. At the same time
those digital systems are rather complex and they require
analog to digital conversion at the front of the system and
digital to analog conversion at its end. Our world has an
analog nature and it would be wise to perform all
computation in analog fashion.

Using Cadence VHDL on GL machine

First: You must have an account on a GL machine. Every student
and faculty should have this.
Either log in directly to cadence.gl.umbc.edu or
Use ssh cadence.gl.umbc.edu

Be in your login directory, else some files need changing.
You can copy many sample files to your working directory using:
cp /afs/umbc.edu/users/s/q/squire/pub/download/cs411.tar .
There are many files available.

Next: Follow instructions exactly or you figure out a variation.
1) Get this tar file into your home directory (on /afs i.e.
available on all GL machines.)
cs411.tar and then type commands:
cp /afs/umbc.edu/users/s/q/squire/pub/download/cs411.tar .
tar -xvf cs411.tar
cd vhdl
mv Makefile.cadence Makefile
tcsh
source vhdl_cshrc
make
more add32_test.out
make clean # saves a lot of disk quota

Then do your own thing with Makefile for other VHDL files

2) The manual, step by step method (same results as above)
Be in your home directory.
mkdir vhdl # for your source code .vhdl .vhd
cd vhdl
mkdir vhdl_lib # your WORK library, keep hands off

You now need to get the following 6 files into you vhdl directory:
vhdl_cshrc
cds.lib change $HOME to your path if needed
hdl.var
Makefile.cadence for first test
add32_test.vhdl for first test
add32_test.run for first test


Make the following modification to cds.lib :
Edit and replace $HOME with the specific path to your home if needed
directory. e.g. /home/grad4/auser12

mv Makefile.cadence Makefile
# Run the test run:
source vhdl_cshrc
make # should be no error messages
more add32_test.out # it should have VHDL simulation output
make clean

You are on your own to write VHDL and modify the Makefile.
Remember each time you log on:
cd vhdl
tcsh
source vhdl_cshrc
make # or do your own thing.

The above is the latest generation Cadence "IUS" "ncvhdl, nceval, ncsim"


GHDL

You can download a free VHDL system form ghdl.free.fr
Follow the instructions for Windows, Linux or MAC OSX

We have tried to get the Linux version onto linux.gl.umbc but
have been unsucessful, it has been installed on personal Linux
machines using root password and installing into /usr/local tree.

The Windows version is a little different, yet it works.

For CMSC 411, you need to do a little extra because GHDL does
not default with some IEEE packages we use.


Using GHDL on your home PC in windows:

Download GHDL from ghdl.free.fr/download.html
click on "installer"
After installing, control panel -> system -> advanced ->
environment variables -> user variables, path, edit
Add to your user path ;C:\"program files"\Ghdl\bin

From a Command prompt window type or use add32_test.bat

rem use GHDL to analyze, elaborate and run add32_test.vhdl
ghdl -a --ieee=synopsys add32.vhdl
ghdl -a --ieee=synopsys add32_test.vhdl
ghdl -e --ieee=synopsys add32_test
ghdl -r --ieee=synopsys add32_test --stop-time=160ns > add32_test.out

Look at file add32_test.out with your favorite editor.

The 160ns is found in the file add32_test.run

The "diff" command on Windows is "fc", ignore the few lines at
beginning and end of comparison of .chk files.


Using FTL Systems Exploration VHDL

First: Read Appendix H of Ashenden's book, p723
The steps are: load the CD, make a registration file,
EMail the file, get back a license file, download the
VHDL analyzer/compiler and simulator.

Then: Follow the Quick Start Guide on page 728.


VHDL Cookbook (PostScript files)

The following eight PostScript files provide an introduction to VHDL

* Contents
* Chapter 1
* Chapter 2
* Chapter 3
* Chapter 4
* Chapter 5
* Chapter 6
* Chapter 7
* BNF for VHDL 93, plain text

The above is by Peter Ashenden who now has an updated version out
as books: "The Student's Guide to VHDL" ISBN 1-55860-520-7 and
"The Designer's Guide to VHDL" second edition ISBN 1-55860-674-2

Examples of VHDL from Ashenden's Designer's Guide are here

Download free VHDL compiler and simulator

This is how I downloaded and installed a free VHDL compiler
and simulator on Windows and Linux systems. It is not 100%
compatible with Cadence, Cadence allows a few non standard constructs,
but it works on many circuits and features.

The Cadence version on cadence.gl.umbc.edu has many bugs not
on cadence1.cs.umbc.edu. For example: alias swrite ... does not work.
A syntax error hangs with a phoney "lock" message.

Using browser: www.symphonyeda.com/proddownloads.htm

Choose Windows ~9.3MB or
Linux ~9.3MB

Execute the Windows file, choose 'setup' and follow instructions

untar the Linux version and follow instructions

For CMSC 411 the project check files are .chks for this VHDL.

FPGA and other CAD information

You can get working chips from VHDL using synthesis tools.

One of the quickest ways to get chips is to use FPGA's,
Field Programmable Gate Arrays.
The two companies listed below provide the software and the
foundry for you to design your own integrated circuit chips:

www.altera.com

www.xilinx.com

Complete Computer Aided Design, CAD, packages are available from
companies such as Cadence, Mentor Graphics and Synopsis.
