摘要： Associative index extended (AIX) caches can be functionally implemented through a reconfigurable decoder that employs programmable line decoding. The reconfigurable decoder features scalability in the number of lines, the number of index extension bits, and the number of banks. The reconfigurable decoder can switch between pure direct mapped (DM) mode and direct mapped-associative index extended (DM-AIX) mode of operation. For banked configurations, the reconfigurable decoder provides the ability to run some banks in DM mode and some other banks in DM-AIX mode. A cache employing this reconfigurable decoder can provide a comparable level of latency as a DM cache with minimal modifications to a DM cache circuitry of an additional logic circuit on a critical signal path, while providing low power operation at low area overhead with SA cache-like miss rates. Address masking and most-recently-used-save replacement policy can be employed with a single bit overhead per line.
摘要翻译：关联索引扩展（AIX）缓存可以通过采用可编程线解码的可重构解码器进行功能实现。可重配置解码器具有线路数量的可扩展性，索引扩展位的数量和存储体的数量。可重构解码器可以在纯直接映射（DM）模式和直接映射关联索引扩展（DM-AIX）操作模式之间切换。对于组合配置，可重构解码器能够以DM模式运行某些存储区，并以DM-AIX模式运行其他存储区。采用该可重构解码器的高速缓存器可以提供与DM高速缓存相当的延迟水平，对关键信号路径上的附加逻辑电路的DM高速缓存电路进行最小修改，同时在低区域开销提供具有SA缓存类似的低功率操作错过率。地址掩码和最近使用的保存替换策略可以采用每行一个位开销。

摘要： A method of automatically generating structure files employing a full structure generator automated program is provided. An annotated device layout file is generated from a design layout by annotating the codes for design shapes with additional text representing the functionality of a physical structure associated with each design shape. Functioning individual semiconductor devices are identified from the annotated device layout file, and a circuit area including multiple interconnected semiconductor devices are identified. A front-end-of-line (FEOL) device structure file and a back-end-of-line (BEOL) device structure file are generated from layer by layer analysis of the components of the annotated device layout within the circuit area. Finite element meshes (FEMs) are generated for the FEOL and BEOL structure files and merged to provide a structure file that can be employed for simulation of semiconductor devices therein.

摘要： Methods and systems for migrating circuit layouts. A floorplan layout is built for a target circuit using a subset of constraints that characterize a layout structure of an original circuit. Shape-constraint-based scaling is used on the floorplan layout by scaling parts of the floorplan layout in accordance with a plurality of different scaling ratios such that portions of the floorplan layout are concurrently scaled with the plurality of different scaling ratios. Cells are placed at locations defined by the floorplan layout. The floorplan layout is checked with shape-constraint-based legalization using all of the constraints to produce a migrated layout.

摘要： A leakage current monitor circuit provides an accurate statistically representative analog of true off-state leakage current in a digital circuit integrated on a die. At least one N-type transistor and at least one P-type transistor separate from the digital circuit are sized to represent the total area of the corresponding type transistors in the digital circuit. The gates of the N-type transistor and P-type transistors are set to voltages according to the corresponding off-state logic levels of the digital circuit. The N-type and P-type transistors form a portion of corresponding current mirror circuits, which can provide outputs to a leakage current monitor and/or a control circuit such as a comparator that determines when leakage current for the N-type or P-type devices has exceeded a threshold. The output of the measurement/control circuit can be used to determine a temperature of and/or control operation of the digital circuit or the system environment of the integrated circuit.
