This document summarizes the SpiNNaker project, which aims to build a massively parallel supercomputer inspired by the brain's architecture. It discusses how SpiNNaker represents over 65 years of progress in computing efficiency. The SpiNNaker architecture uses low-power ARM processors and multicast routing to enable modeling large networks of neurons in real-time, representing up to 1% of the human brain. Recent SpiNNaker machines constructed for the Human Brain Project include a 500,000-core system that can simulate 500 million neurons and 500 billion synapses.
The document discusses handling memory accesses for big data workloads. It proposes using an architecture called a "funnel" to more efficiently process "non-temporal" or "read-once" memory accesses that exhibit no data reuse. The funnel would be placed close to data storage to bypass moving all data to DRAM, reducing bandwidth bottlenecks and energy wasted on unnecessary data movement. It provides analytical models showing the funnel can improve performance and energy efficiency by focusing expensive DRAM accesses only on data exhibiting temporal locality. Open questions remain around software models, shared data handling, and hardware implementation of computational capabilities at the funnel.

This document discusses trends and challenges in physical chip design over the next decade. It notes that while Moore's Law of transistor density doubling every two years remains intact, the cost aspect may be under threat. Emerging technologies below 10nm feature complex multi-patterning and 3D structures. Routing is increasingly difficult due to shrinking metal pitches. Interconnect delay dominates total delay, with resistance varying over 1000x between metal layers. Heterogeneous integration and 2.5D/3D packaging will require new design approaches handling non-Manhattan routing. Physical design innovation will be critical to enable emerging nodes and differentiate mature nodes.
This document describes a method for simulating electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection circuits using empirical models of ESD devices. The method combines regular SPICE models of ESD transistors with curves based on transmission line pulsing (TLP) measurements. The models trigger bipolar behavior based on simulated terminal voltages and TLP data. Simulation results matched TLP curves and demonstrated checking ESD current and voltage clamping. The method allows verifying ESD protection in complex chip designs.

This document discusses enhancing data reliability in data center flash storage controllers through network-on-chip (NoC) interconnect data protection features. It describes the increasing complexity of flash controller designs, which raises the probability of on-chip errors. Implementing data protection directly in the NoC interconnect using techniques like parity checking, error correction codes, and logic duplication can help make the system more reliable compared to software-only solutions. The document provides examples of different data protection techniques that can be applied to transaction payloads, packet headers, and ARM Cortex cores to safeguard data as it travels across the on-chip network.
The document discusses how big data tools can be used to simplify debugging by extracting data from large simulation log files and presenting it graphically. Specifically, it proposes indexing simulation log files using Lucene to enable fast searching and extraction of relevant records. This would allow engineers to quickly find error messages and events within log files that can reach several gigabytes in size. Graphical representation of the log file data is presented as a more intuitive way to analyze logs and trace problems compared to navigating raw text. The goal is to harness big data techniques to shorten debugging time and increase productivity for verifying complex chip designs.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

(b) Talk though two step animation. Step 1) PSoC Creator automatically places and routes components from PSoC Creator component library onto the UDB array and DSI routing mesh. Step 2) Customer control logic you may have implemented in verilog can take advantage of used used PLDs in UDBs (no waste). Point out the drawing is only conceptual Flexibility of a PLD integrated with a CPU. With a discrete PLD or FPGA logic would be consumed creating a bus interface to your MCU, not so in PSoC. Details on the following slide. Provides access to a rich library of pre-build, documented, and characterized components in PSoC Creator For example, UART, SPI, logic gages (AND, OR, NOR, etc) quadrature decoders, and more. The UDB array may also be used to implement additional I2C, timer, counter, and PWM functions if dedicated and optimized peripherals have already been used. Fine configuration granularity enables high silicon utilization. When we say that a component uses 2 UDBs it is unlikely that 100% of those 2 UDBs are actually used. For example, 2 DUBs maybe used use to implement a 16-bit shift register, but, the PLD in those UDBs are not used. PSoC Creator keeps track of this usage information allow for example a users custom Verilog to use the PLDs that are not used by the 16-bit shift register. This is what we mean by fine granularity of the configuration. Supports user generated Verilog control logic (PSoC Creator takes care of synthesis, placement, and routing.). DSI Routing mesh allows any function in the UDBs to communicate with another on-chip function or any GPIO pin. NOTE: PSoC Creator today does not have a 32-bit PWM component, however silicon supports this capability. A customer or Cypress could create a 32-bit PWM component that will run inside the device.
Some chips with lots or less analog… Roadmap to analog filtering using the prog-analog blocks Use separate module and details from SCON content Key message is that this is portfolio of analog – scales with various products The PSoC3/5 architecture has a huge portfolio of analog IP. Exact configuration depends on the product family. 20-bit Del Sig samples at 180 sps
That is the PSoC3/5 Platform Architecture/Summary.
The Advanced button allows for selection of sheet template as well as device selection. From the Advanced button the device selector maybe launched. Not really important to make your device selection here, just the platform selection (PSoC3 or PSoC5) is what’s required…you can change your device at any time…including platform, but starting with one platform will establish what components you have to begin with.
Generates component APIs
The first task of the build process is to create a configuration of your device. The steps to achieve this are: Elaboration, Netlisting, Verilog, Logic Synthesis,VH2, Tech Mapping, Analog Place and Route, Digital Packing, Digital Placement, Digital routing,
