20090265534 | Fairness, Performance, and Livelock Assessment Using a Loop Manager With Comparative Parallel Looping - A method, apparatus, and computer program are provided for assessing fairness, performance, and livelock in a logic development process utilizing comparative parallel looping. Multiple loop macros are generated, the multiple loop macros respectively correspond to multiple processor threads, and the multiple loop macros are parallel comparative loop macros. The multiple processor threads for the multiple loop macros are executed in which a common resource is accessed. A forward performance of each of the multiple processor threads is verified. The forward performance of the multiple processor threads is compared with each other. It is determined whether any of the multiple processor threads fails to meet a minimum loop count or a minimum loop time. It is determined whether any of the multiple processor threads exceeds a maximum loop count or a maximum loop time. It is recognized whether fairness is maintained during the execution of the multiple processor threads. | 10-22-2009 |
20120159406 | TASK-BASED MULTI-PROCESS DESIGN SYNTHESIS WITH REPRODUCIBLE TRANSFORMS - A task-based multi-process design synthesis methodology is reproducible, and relies on a plurality of child processes to assist a parent process in performing optimizations on an integrated circuit design. Objects from an integrated circuit design are grouped into subsets and assigned to child processes, with each child process performing a transform on each of the objects in the subset assigned to that child process and determining which of the objects in the subset are candidate objects for which performance of the transform has been successful. Each child process also undoes the transform performed for each object such that the same initial state of the integrated circuit design is used to perform each transform. In addition, the parent process tracks the results of performing the transform by each child process, and applies successful transforms in a controlled sequence. | 06-21-2012 |
20120159417 | TASK-BASED MULTI-PROCESS DESIGN SYNTHESIS - A task-based multi-process design synthesis methodology relies on a plurality of child processes to assist a parent process in performing optimizations on an integrated circuit design. Objects from an integrated circuit design are grouped into subsets and assigned to child processes, with each child process performing a transform on each of the objects in the subset assigned to that child process and determining which of the objects in the subset are candidate objects for which performance of the transform has been successful. The child processes then notify the parent process of those objects that qualify as candidate objects, so that the parent process only has to perform the transform on the candidate objects, thereby relieving the parent process from the overhead associated with performing the transform on non-candidate objects for which the transform has been determined by the child processes as not being successful. | 06-21-2012 |
20120159418 | TASK-BASED MULTI-PROCESS DESIGN SYNTHESIS WITH NOTIFICATION OF TRANSFORM SIGNATURES - A task-based multi-process design synthesis methodology relies on a plurality of child processes to assist a parent process in performing optimizations on an integrated circuit design. Objects from an integrated circuit design are grouped into subsets and assigned to child processes, with each child process performing a transform on each of the objects in the subset assigned to that child process and determining which of the objects in the subset are candidate objects for which performance of the transform has been successful. Each child process also provides result data to the parent process for each candidate object to reduce the overhead of the parent process when performing the transform on the candidate object. The result data, which may include, for example, a set of instructions or hints, may allow a parent process to take advantage of the efforts of the child process in performing the transform. | 06-21-2012 |
