SUMMARY:Static and Dynamic CDC Verification of AXI4 Stream-based IPs
DESCRIPTION:The AXI4 Stream protocol is used as a standard interface to exchange data between connected IPs within FPGA designs. For crossing clock domains\, the AXI4 Stream interconnect is based on switches capable of transferring data to another asynchronous clock domain. The alternative solution is a dual-port AXI4 Stream IP\, capable of changing clock domains when packet routing is not required. \nStatic and dynamic clock domain crossing (CDC) verification methods complement each other to ensure flawless operation of multi-clock designs. ALDEC_CDC rules plugin contains 58 rules for checking design quality\, design constraints\, and clock and reset trees. It is also used for validating design synchronization circuits. However\, static CDC verification methods alone may not guarantee the completeness of the CDC verification task. Dynamic CDC verification is crucial. The two main methods for dynamic CDC verification are checking with CDC assertions and modeling of random delay insertion on clock domain crossings.\n\nIn this webinar\, we will introduce both static and dynamic verification methods for CDC verification of AXI4 Stream-based IPs. We will discuss the CDC assertions that are auto-generated from ALINT-PRO\, and we will also demonstrate the design and usage of the synchronizer models with random delay insertion.\n\nAgenda:\n\nCDC verification process overview\n\nStatic CDC verification checks\nAssertions usage in CDC verification\nThe concept of delay randomization at CDC crossing in functional simulation\n\n\nAXI Stream protocol overview\nAXI CDC Port Verification\n\nRunning CDC static checks with ALINT-PRO\nGeneration SV Assertion with ALINT-PRO\nDeveloping the testbench for AXI CDC Port dynamic verification\nSimulating design with generated CDC assertions\nSimulating design with random delay insertion in synchronizer models\n\n\nConclusion\nQ&A\n\n\nWebinar Duration\n\n45 min presentation/live demo\n\nBio: \nAlex Gnusin\, Aldec’s ALINT-PRO Product Manager \nAlex accumulated 27 years of hands-on experience in various aspects of ASIC and FPGA design and verification. As a verification prime for a multi-million gates project in companies such as IBM\, Nortel\, Ericsson and Synopsys Inc\, he combined various verification methods such as static linting\, formal property checking\, dynamic simulation and hardware-assisted acceleration to efficiently achieve design verification goals. He received his M.S. in Electronics from Technion\, Israel Institute of Technology.

SUMMARY:ARM corelink\, Arteris NoC\, UCIe\, Bunch-of-wires\, CXL and PCIe- Designing the interconnect is not for the weak-hearted
DESCRIPTION:There are so many options for Network-on-Chip: ARM-Corelink CMN700\, Arteris FlexNoC\, open-source NoC interconnect\, and of course developing home-grown fully customized solutions. Where does each solution fit? Where do we use it- backplane vs inside domains? How does AMBA AXI or PCIe or CXL fit in the mix? With the advent of chiplet\, do we go with UCIe or bunch-of-wires. Where do we locate the DRAM and the task scheduler? Lots of questions need to be answered before the SoC or chiplets can be implemented. \nIn this Webinar\, we will take the mystery out of these architecture decisions by demonstrating how system modeling can provide quantitative metrics to validate and optimize these requirements. For this purpose we will use the mapping of a CNN- Resnet 50 on an AI processor\, Open Architecture Management (OAM) system\, heterogeneous compute SoC-FPGA and development of a custom NoC. \nTo measure the quality of the design\, we will show the running of standard and synthetic workloads. Quantitative metrics generated will include latency\, throughput\, buffer occupancy\, peak power consumed\, heat generated\, cache hit-miss and memory bandwidth. We will also show how the source of bottlenecks can be identified. The design can be experimented with different routing schemes\, schedulers\, buffer size\, clock speeds\, flits\, clock domains\, flow control credit and quality-of-service.

SUMMARY:Electronic Design Process Symposium (EDPS) - 2024
DESCRIPTION:EDPS 2024 is now taking shape. The place to be is once again SEMI\, in Milpitas\, and the dates are Thursday and Friday\, Oct 3rd and 4th\, 2024. \nRegistration is now open: https://2024-ieee-edps.eventbrite.com. Who needs to register? Please see the Registration page. \nTalks from EDPS 2023 and the last 24 years of EDPS\, are are available and searchable\, on the Prior Years page. \nDay 1\, Thursday 9:00am; Session 1\n9:05am\n\nEnergy and Thermal Management of Chips\, Systems and Datacenters Necessitates a Return to Fundamentals\nChandrakant Patel\nHP\n\n  \nThe latter part of 20th century witnessed the rise of the compute utility made up of large-scale data centers housing densely packed compute\, storage and networking equipment. The cyber age data centers became modern day factories requiring megawatts of power for the information technology (IT) equipment much like the process equipment in a factory of the machine age. Electrical energy supplied to the chips and systems in the data centers turned into multi-megawatts of heat energy which in turn required heat removal means. The active heat removal means also required power. While many innovative measures have been used for heat removal and energy management in data centers\, there is a substantial gap in application of fundamentals of engineering when compared to the approaches taken by the contributors of the 19th and early 20th century machine age. As an example\, machine age contributors performed exergy (2nd law of thermodynamics) analysis and deemed it necessary to build a hydro-electric plant as part of the design of an Aluminum factory. Indeed\, majority of data centers today rely on the power infrastructure built by our predecessors. Given the inexorable trajectory of data centers strongly driven by AI\, and associated demands on available energy\, it is time we returned to such fundamentals particularly given the environmental challenges. \nIn my talk\, I will present a holistic approach that traces the energy flow from a power plant to a chip\, and from the chip core to the cooling tower. \n10:00am\n\nEnabling Effortless Machine Learning for Embedded Edge Applications\nGopal Hegde\nSiMa.ai\n\n  \nMachine Learning is a game changing technology of our generation and similar Internet in the 1990s\, will impact every aspect of our life. While Machine Learning use cases and applications are well established in the cloud & IoT devices\, in the embedded edge market\, its usage is in its infancy. We at SiMa.ai are focused on disrupting this market by turbo charging embedded compute with the addition of machine learning. Embedded edge has space and power constraints and has a huge expertise gap relative to cloud computing when it comes to machine learning. The presentation covers market requirements\, key challenges and our unique software first approach to machine learning at embedded edge. We will discuss key market segments\, their unique requirements and how our silicon and software solutions provide a way for our customers to easily develop and deploy machine learning solutions that address their use cases and applications. \n10:35am\n\nAI: Trailblazing the Next Generation of Semiconductor Innovation\nVishal Khandewal\nSynopsys\n\n  \nWith AI-based applications coming pervasively mainstream through ChatGPT\, digital healthcare\, and almost everything else we do with our devices daily\, digital chip design is seeing an exponential push towards complexity\, performance\, power\, and time-to market. EDA tool flows are becoming mission critical to meet the demands of a hardware-led 4th industrial revolution that is driving everything towards being intelligent\, connected\, monitored and data-driven. In this talk we go into the details of how hardware design and EDA tools are evolving to deliver the next generation of performance\, power\, and productivity (PP&P) boost. Even with exponential growth in design productivity in the past decade\, overall design cycle is not meeting its intended targets. The technical complexity of advanced node design with new dominant effects like thermal and IR\, are leading to highly complex tool/methodology flows. This is where at Synopsys\, we have taken a full tool-stack approach to build pervasive AI into our tools to deliver unprecedented PP&P boost. We will share examples of applications ranging from design implementation\, verification\, test\, and analog/manufacturing to showcase the potential of this technology and how it is reshaping chip design workflows. Many of these technologies are taking us closer to the no-human-in-the-loop goal for chip design. With serious talent shortage and increase in solution complexity beyond human expertise\, AI-augmented solutions for chip design are the way forward. \n11:10am\n\nHarnessing LLMs for Advanced EDA Platforms: Code Generation and Beyond\nAkhilesh Kumar\nAnsys\n\n  \nLarge Language Models (LLMs) such as GPT-4\, Gemini\, Llama etc.\, have demonstrated astounding capabilities in a range of tasks such as knowledge extraction\, Q&A\, summarization\, code generation\, contextual problem solving etc. The LLMs can also be adapted to specific applications through a variety of methods such as fine tuning\, in-context learning\, RAG\, agent-based systems etc.\, making them quite versatile. \nModern EDA platforms\, such as Ansys SeaScape\, have sophisticated workflows\, hundreds of user APIs\, complex input data requirements\, and require deep domain knowledge and expertise for efficiently using the platform. This talk will discuss how LLMs can greatly improve the productivity and user experiences for such EDA platforms. The talk presents an overview of code generation techniques using LLMs and will discuss our experience in developing an LLM-based code generation solution for the Ansys SeaScape platform. Going beyond the code generation\, this presentation will discuss creating an LLM agent-based copilot for providing intuitive assistance to the users of the Ansys SeaScape platform for a variety of operational modalities. \n12:45pm\n\nThe Application of AI to Chip Design\nMark Ren\nNVidia\n\n  \nThe applications of AI in chip design undergo an evolutionary path. \nInspired by the success of AlphaGO\, Reinforcement Learning techniques were deployed to a number of design problems\, achieving results showing the potential of AI. \nThe advancement of Large Language Models further enabled the application of AI in a much broader set of design activities. \nLLM-based copilots can improve design productivity by providing knowledge and coding assistance; agents can provide further assistance in key design tasks such as analysis\, debugging\, and optimization. \nThe evolution of AI will continue\, and we will discuss critical challenges to realizing its revolutionary potential in the chip design process \n1:35pm\n\nHow AI is changing every aspect of EDA\, starting from transistor-level simulation\nSathishkumar Balasubramanian\nSiemens\n\n  \nThere is a lot of hype in the industry around AI\, but behind the hype there is the reality. That reality is that AI really is impacting virtually every aspect of semiconductor design. However\, its not as simple as taking general purpose AI solutions and hoping they work for EDA\, the risks are too high and when dealing with parts per billion (or trillion) in acceptable errors\, hallucinations are not acceptable. What is needed are Verifiable AI solutions that deliver results that users can trust and that reduce the overall resources needed to complete a task. At Siemens EDA we have been able to leverage Verifiable AI to accelerate virtually every aspect of the design and verification process. \nIn this presentation we will explore the requirements for\, and state of the art of\, AI in EDA application. We will explore AI’s impact on every aspect of design starting from transistor-level simulation. \n2:10pm\n\nTest\, Repair and Reliability Challenges of Chip-let Interconnects\nSreejit Chakravarty\nAmpere Computing\n\n  \nChip-let based design\, fueled by various advanced packaging technologies\, is projected to revolutionize the semiconductor industry. This brings along with it associated challenges to achieve adequate yield and aging related reliability issues. This talk will present manufacturing defect profiles associated with advanced packaging; the test and repair requirement\, during high volume manufacturing\, to achieve adequate yield; and challenges associated with latent defects leading to aging related field failures. RAS solutions required to address such reliability issues are highlighted. \n2:45pm\n\nArtificial Intelligence and Machine Learning for RF and Microwave Design\nJianjun Xu\nKeysight\n\n  \nThis talk reviews some powerful and practical Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI/ML) technologies for applications in traditional RF and Microwave design and beyond. After a very brief overview of the AI/ML landscape\, we focus on Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) and provide several key examples of modern ANN applications to electronic\, electro-thermal\, and electro-chemical device modeling\, and behavioral modeling to illustrate the substantial benefits and generality of present techniques. \nThe talk concludes with a discussion of the potential of AI/ML technologies to address and solve future challenging and important RF and Microwave design problems\, e.g.\, for 6G. \n3:30pm\n\nPromises and Challenges of Digital Twin for Semiconductor Manufacturing\nAla Moradian\nApplied Materials\n\n  \nThe advancement of cutting-edge technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI)\, Large Language Models (LLM)\, and Electric Vehicles (EV) demands sophisticated semiconductor devices with precise specifications. \nConcurrently\, the emergence of digital twins and AI stands as pivotal in facilitating the development and enablement of such technologies. \nThis talk delves into the vision and significance of AppliedTwin(tm)\, a proposed digital twin framework tailored for semiconductor manufacturing. \nAppliedTwin delineates various levels of abstractions ranging from digital fabrication facility down to digital twin of individual devices\, each characterized by distinct attributes governing their interaction with physical assets\, fidelity\, etc. \nApplied Materials has spearheaded the application of digital twins in semiconductor manufacturing with the introduction of EcoTwin(tm)\, a platform designed to promote sustainability. \nIn this talk the critical role of digital twins in propelling innovation and efficiency in semiconductor equipment manufacturing. \n4:05pm\n\nMaking Data Center Digital Twins a Reality\nPaul Harrison\nCadence\n\n  \nThis talk will discuss the application of Digital Twins to Data Centers. \nHistorically decisions for data center operations were made based on rules of thumb or the person who would most confidently put across their point of view. \nCabinet power densities continue to rise\, accelerated by AI\, increasing the need complex technologies like liquid cooling to be more widely implemented. This means data center operations have become more difficult to manage\, while the impact of their downtime can be catastrophic for companies. Fortunately\, data center operators are starting to adopt CFD-based Digital Twins to help inform their operational decisions\, improve their understanding\, and reduce the risks. This talk will explain how to create a Data Center Digital Twin\, some of the challenges with creating them\, how they integrate with data sources and existing processes\, and the benefits to operators this technology brings. \n4:40pm\n\nInnovating Semiconductor Manufacturing with ML-augmented Digital Twins\nNorman Chang\nElectronics\, Semiconductor\, and Optics BU\, Ansys\n\n  \nDeveloping each processing step in semiconductor manufacturing has heavily relied on in-situ sensors in the equipment and numerous try-outs in recipe generation. However\, with advancements in multiphysics simulation technologies\, an innovative ML-augmented hybrid simulation methodology has been developed. This methodology combines the strengths of multiphysics simulation and in-situ measurement in building semiconductor processing digital twins. In this talk\, we will review the current state-of-the-art digital twin technologies and identify the gaps that need to be addressed to fully utilize digital twins in developing new process recipes in semiconductor manufacturing. \n6:45pm\n\nSemiconductors and Artificial Intelligence:The Virtuous Cycle\nPushkar Apte\nSEMI\n\n  \nArtificial Intelligence (AI) has taken the world by storm\, and has become a strategic imperative for most industries. While the concept of AI is over half a century old\, it has accelerated rapidly just over the past decade\, in large part due to amazing advances in semiconductor chips. In turn\, AI is driving growth in semiconductor revenues and improvements in operational efficiency\, creating a virtuous cycle. \nHowever\, there are formidable roadblocks ahead. AI models and datasets are growing at an exponential rate\, far outpacing hardware advances – creating both performance and sustainability challenges. System-level innovation is required for continued progress in AI\, which requires meaningful collaboration and data-sharing – often difficult in an industry where IP is critical. \nThis presentation will focus on this virtuous cycle between semiconductors and AI\, highlighting the benefits\, challenges and solution paths for continued progress. \nDay 2\, Friday 9:00am; Session 1\n9:05am\n\nIs AI intelligent?\nRonjon Nag\nStanford Medicine\n\n  \nArtificial intelligence is in the news daily\, and people ask whether they are truly intelligent. \nMaybe it still lacks the depth of human intelligence today\, but where is already cleverer\, and what stops it from reaching the ultimate pinnacle of ”general intelligence” – could that ever be possible? We will consider the implications of creating truly intelligent machines and the potential consequences for human society. \n10:00am\n\nTrust Based Modeling for Improved Security\nNaresh Sehgal\nDeeply Human AI\n\n  \nThe present state of Edge Computing is an environment of different computing capabilities connected via various communication paths. Actors on the Edge may interact with each other and a central datacenter. An important part of information security is the evaluation of trust between actors\, whether those actors are people or machines. Although many distributed trust models exist\, our proposed model introduces three key concepts. The first concept is that trust is not bidirectional between two parties. The second concept is that trust is different between different actors\, based upon the nature of their relationships. The third concept is that trust depends on the content of a transaction. We will present some real-life examples to illustrate these concepts. \n10:35am\n\nAdvancing Hardware Security in the Post-Quantum Cryptography Landscape: Challenges and Solutions\nQian Wang\nU. Cal. Merced\n\n  \nHardware security in the era of post-quantum cryptography has become increasingly crucial due to the potential threat quantum computers pose to traditional cryptographic algorithms. Post-quantum cryptography aims to develop cryptographic algorithms that are resistant to attacks from quantum computers. However\, ensuring the security of these algorithms requires not only advancements in software but also robust hardware security measures. In this talk\, we will first discuss the implementation of quantum-resistant cryptographic modules on hardware platforms\, necessitating upgrades in both hardware and firmware to accommodate new algorithms efficiently. Moreover\, hardware implementations of cryptographic algorithms are vulnerable to side-channel attacks\, where an attacker exploits information leaked through physical characteristics such as power consumption or electromagnetic radiation. Post-quantum cryptographic hardware must incorporate countermeasures to mitigate these risks. \n11:20am\n\nScaling to Meet the Needs of AI\nPradeep Dubey\nIntel\n\n  \nArtificial intelligence (AI) is impacting not just what computing can do for us\, rather how computing gets done. Fast-evolving AI algorithms are driving demand for growing performance at an unprecedented rate and scale. This talk is about some of our research aimed at exploring technological and system-level opportunities for cost-effective scaling of emerging AI datacenters. \n1:00pm\n\nThe Future of Generative AI: Key Technology Trends and Innovations\nShiva Kintali\nR3AI\n\n  \nLLMs have emerged as powerful tools\, revolutionizing various domains from natural language processing to content generation\, but beneath their remarkable capabilities lie intricate challenges and perils that demand our attention. \nWhile they offer convenience and productivity\, we dissect how they can also be manipulated and weaponized by malicious actors\, raising concerns about inherent biases\, jailbreaking potential\, security concerns\, privacy issues\, misinformation\, deepfakes\, cyber threats and their unsettling societal consequences. We explore how biases present in training data\, historical injustices\, and societal prejudices can be perpetuated and even amplified by these models\, posing a significant threat to fairness\, equity\, and inclusivity. \nThis talk is aimed at raising awareness and engage the audience in a critical dialogue on these multifaceted challenges posed by LLMs. By understanding these challenges\, we can collectively work towards harnessing the power of these models for the betterment of society while safeguarding against their unintended consequences. \n1:35pm\n\nEmerging Technologies for Computing Paradigm Shift\nBrandon Wang\nSynopsys\n\n  \nThe explosive growth of AI has triggered a rapid increase in semiconductor demand\, leading to soaring power consumption and unsustainable water usage. This presentation will explore emerging technologies essential for driving a paradigm shift towards energy-efficient computing. Topics will include the “Shift Left” design methodology\, the impact of SLMs (Small Language Models) on computational efficiency in AI\, and the potential of neuromorphic and quantum computing as next-generation architectures. These advancements are poised to enable significant digital transformation and drive pervasive intelligence across various industries. The speaker will also provide insights into how organizations can stay at the cutting edge of these innovations\, offering a forward-looking perspective on the future of computational systems and the strategic steps needed to lead in this rapidly evolving landscape. \n2:10pm\n\nTBD\nChris Cheng\nHewlett-Packard Enterprise\n

SUMMARY:FPGA Front Runner: FPGA Verification Strategies
DESCRIPTION:Time\nSpeaker\nDetails\n\n\n09.30\nArrival and Registration\n\n\n10.00\nDave Sanders\, Rolls-Royce\nOverview of Rolls Royce @ Solihull \nPresentation Title – Rolls-Royce… the past\, the present and the future \nAbstract – Rolls-Royce has come a long way since its inception as a car manufacturer at the start of the twentieth century\, for starters it doesn’t make cars anymore! This talk will provide an insight into Rolls-Royce’s past present and future with a focus on the pivotal role that electronics now plays in a company traditionally known for its mechanical engineering solutions.\n\n\n10.30\nEspen Tallaksen\, EmLogic\nPresentation Title – Modern VHDL testbenches – An AXI-stream example\, first dead simple\, then advanced \nAbstract – Do you want to see how easily you can verify your FPGA or ASIC? Join in to see this exemplified with a testbench for an AXI-stream based data flow design – using UVVM\, which is currently used by more than one third of all European FPGA designers. \nMost testbenches verifying a complex DUT are relatively unstructured and difficult to understand\, modify\, extend\, maintain and reuse. You can often easily reduce the verification time by at least a factor of two by having a well structured and easy to understand test harness\, and writing commands at a higher abstraction level – allowing a good and complete testcase overview by just looking at a simple test sequencer with easy to understand high-level commands. \nThis presentation will first show how interface handling procedures (BFMs) can be applied in a very simple way to verify a DUT. Then we will show how a more advanced testbench using verification components\, models\, scoreboards and high-level transactions will allow more thorough verification of more complex DUT scenarios in a very structured and simple way.\n\n\n11.00\nJim Lewis\, SynthWorks Design Inc\nPresentation Title – Why Should Our Team be Using VHDL + OSVVM for Verification? \nAbstract – Developing and deploying a verification methodology can be costly and time consuming. Going without one will be even more costly due to bugs escaping into production hardware systems. \nOpen Source VHDL Verification Methodology (OSVVM) provides the VHDL community with an already developed\, open-source solution. OSVVM implements all of the capabilities of a modern verification methodology: transaction-based testing\, a verification framework\, verification components\, self-checking tests\, messaging handling\, error tracking\, requirements tracking\, constrained random testing\, scoreboards\, functional coverage\, co simulation with software\, test automation\, and a comprehensive set of test reports. \nThis presentation examines how these capabilities will benefit your projects. \nSystemVerilog+UVM also provides a similar set of capabilities. Unfortunately\, SV+UVM ended up absurdly complex to use – instead of using a module (entity/architecture in VHDL) with its built-in concurrency\, SV+UVM uses OO\, sequential code\, and fork and join (to get concurrency). As a result\, SV has failed to unify the design and verification communities. \nVHDL+OSVVM on the other hand uses entity/architectures to create verification components and libraries of subprograms (procedures and functions) to extend VHDL into a complete verification language. In doing this\, OSVVM creates verification capabilities that rival SystemVerilog+UVM while at the same time it uses VHDL language elements that are familiar to VHDL design engineers. \nAs a result\, with VHDL+OSVVM and a good verification lead\, any VHDL engineer can do verification as well as RTL design.\n\n\n11.30\nRefreshment break\n\n\n12.00\nPhilipp Wagner\, FOSSi Foundation\nPresentation Title – cocotb is making verification fun! \nAbstract – cocotb lets you verify chips like software: productive\, simulator-agnostic\, in Python. In this talk\, you’ll learn what cocotb is and how using Python for verification can make your next verification job more productive. There’s even something in there for those of you who already know cocotb: a look at cocotb 2.0 and tips and tricks how to update your testbenches to make best use of the new features.\n\n\n12.30\nChristian Tchilikov\, semify GmbH\nPresentation Title – Utilizing the Cocotb Python Framework for Efficient Functional Verification \nAbstract – Cocotb is a framework that allows for verification test cases written in Python to interact with DUTs being simulated in common simulation tools. Compared to classical approaches for verification\, Cocotb has very low upfront engineering costs. With access to the full functionality of the Python programming language\, the complexity of testbenches can scale up as required. \nCocotb comes with built-in functionalities for many of the tasks required of a modern testbench\, like constrained random input generation\, coverage tracking\, and assertions. \nCocotb’s foundation being the Python language means that software models of the design can be written in a high-level Object-Oriented language. Additionally\, higher-level objects such as drivers or monitors can be designed for the bit-wiggling of DUT input signals\, providing a higher level of abstraction\, similar to UVM sequences. The software model can then be easily scoreboarded with the DUT through Cocotb. \nAdditionally\, Cocotb provides high-level abstractions for interfacing with the simulated design. This comes in the form of hierarchical signal reading and assignment\, event triggers\, and parallel execution of coroutines similar to SystemVerilog’s forks. Leveraging these tools\, it becomes simple to launch verification modules like drivers and monitors\, running and interfacing with the DUT in parallel. \nThird-party verification IP modules for many standard interfaces are available via the cocotb extensions packages hosted on PyPi\, so devices using SPI or AXI\, amongst others\, can be verified with minimal effort. In addition\, engineers can write and reuse their own verification IP\, such as bus monitors\, drivers\, etc\, similar to the UVM approach of verification. \nA special emphasis is on using cocotb alongside an open-source toolchain like Icarus Verilog\, acheiving a similar quality of results compared to commercial offerings. This combination of tools provides features that are otherwise hidden behind expensive licence paywalls\, and makes digital verification accessible to a wider audience. \nCocotb serves as a great alternative to traditional SystemVerilog Object-Oriented verification by working around the limitations of the simulators that do not support the full feature set of SystemVerilog by providing similar functionality in the Python language instead.\n\n\n13.00\nDave Amor\, Ultra Maritime\nPresentation Title – Integration of Atlassian Bamboo with MathWorks Tools for FPGA Development \nAbstract – In safety critical FPGA development\, the need for efficiency\, reliability\, and predictability while maintaining agility is vital. \nUltra Maritime has embraced these demands by integrating Continuous Integration (CI) practices with MathWorks tools and Agile methodologies\, creating a streamlined and robust development process that ensures high-quality outcomes in mission-critical applications. \nThis presentation will explore the strategies and technologies we use to achieve consistent\, and resilient FPGA development\, focusing on how these practices contribute to the success of our projects. \nAtlassian Bamboo allows us to automate testing\, code generation\, and the bitstream creation processes. \nThis integration ensures that every change in our FPGA designs can be automatically validated through rigorous testing\, significantly reducing the risk of errors and accelerating the development lifecycle. \nBy automating these processes\, a higher standard of code quality is possible while freeing up our engineers to focus on innovation and problem-solving. \nThis presentation will touch on the adoption of Agile Scrum practices within our FPGA development teams. \nAgile Scrum provides a flexible framework that allows us to adapt to changing requirements\, prioritise tasks effectively\, and deliver incremental improvements throughout the project lifecycle. Key ceremonies such as sprint planning\, daily stand-ups\, and retrospectives are essential to maintaining focus and ensuring continuous improvement. We will discuss how these practices have enhanced our ability to respond to challenges\, manage complexity\, and maintain alignment across our teams. \nA crucial aspect of our development process is the integration of Jira with Bamboo and Simulink. This connection enables seamless tracking of tasks\, test results\, and code changes. Automated reporting of test failures and direct linking to Jira tasks ensure that issues are identified\, prioritised and resolved. \nThe presentation will also address the advantages of CI in ensuring resilience against the turnover of key personnel. By standardising workflows and maintaining consistent environments\, we reduce the dependency on individual knowledge and ensure that our processes are sustainable. \nLooking to the future\, we will explore potential enhancements to our current setup\, by leveraging developments in Large Language Models. \nUltra Maritime’s approach to FPGA processes evolving over the last 25 years has created a environment that is effective\, adaptable and resilient\, ensuring the delivery of high-quality\, reliable products.\n\n\n13.30\nLunch\n\n\n14.00\nTour\n\n\n14.30\nFinish refreshments/networking

However\, the efficient utilization of RVV demands careful consideration of the optimization approach. This article examines strategies for accelerating this process. Key challenges include assessing performance differences among algorithmic approaches and overcoming initial hardware constraints. FireSim provides a comprehensive solution by offering advanced software and hardware simulation capabilities. Utilizing FireSim\, we started the process of enhancing source code with RVV instructions (called vectorization) for the pixman project. Our experience outlines the efficacy of a cloud-based FPGA simulation in expediting software development for emerging ISA extensions. Overall\, FireSim facilitates faster iteration cycles and informed design decisions\, benefiting individual developers and fostering collaboration in remote teams. \nFazyRV: A RISC-V Core that Scales to Your Needs\nMeinhard Kissich\nFazyRV is a scalable RISC-V core that can be synthesized into a (1-)bit-serial\, 2-\, 4-\, or 8-bit-serial implementation to fulfill your performance requirements with the least area (resp. resources) demand. FazyRV provides manifold variants to adapt to the target technology by\, e.g.\, avoiding dual-port BRAM at the cost of an additional clock cycle. Contradictory to hand-optimized cores at the gate level\, FazyRV tries to avoid manual low-level optimizations to increase readability and simplify adaptations. This talk gives an insight into the open-source FazyRV core and its design objectives. We show how the area demand scales\, answer why there is no 16-bit variant\, discuss how the performance can be improved\, and outline possible extensions to improve the current FazyRV design. \nUnderstanding and Supporting Open Source Silicon Communities\nStefan Wallentowitz\nTBD \nDebug your Design with a Tiny Interpreter\nChristopher Lozinski\nInterpreters are very helpful tools for hardware development\, but the existing tools require slow interprocess communication\, and lots of memory. Best to use a tiny interpreter that runs on both the FPGA\, and in the simulator. . Less than 2KBytes of memory required and there is no slow interprocess communication. There are even two ASICs that run similar interpreters. . \nVexiiRiscv : A Debian demonstration\nCharles Papon\nThe VexiiRiscv (Vex2Risc5) project aim at remplacing VexRiscv and extends its scope with features such as multi-issue\, hardware prefetcher\, 64 bits support\, … This presentation will mainly be a live demonstration of the project running Debian on FPGA\, exposing the level of performance achievable on such system including boot\, userland\, some demos and finaly a few slides. \nProject Arrakeen: One API to rule all PDKs\nStaf Verhaegen\nProject Arrakeen is an umbrella project for providing a python framework for portable and scalable digital and analog circuits. It is based on the PDKMaster base project which provide a uniform API to PDK data and generation of circuit and layouts. On this base project other projects are being built that provide standard cells\, IO cells\, SRAM compiler and analog blocks. In this talk the state of the Arrakeen project and it’s subprojects for the three supported open source PDKs\, e.g. Sky130\, IHP SG13G2 and GF180MCU will be presented. \nnaja_edit: An Open Source Tool for Gate-Level Netlist editing and optimization\nChristophe Alexandre\nnaja_edit is an open source tool designed to optimize and edit gate-level netlists. It features algorithms for Dead Logic Elimination\, Constant Propagation\, and Primitives Optimization\, all performed with minimal changes to the hierarchical netlist structure. This tool can be interleaved with Yosys and OpenROAD\, making it particularly useful for large designs requiring hierarchical synthesis. naja_edit also features a Python interface for power users to inspect and edit the netlist using simple scripts. This talk will present optimization results on a set of open source designs. \nForastero: cocotb testbenches with batteries included\nPeter Birch\nForastero is a Python library that builds on top of cocotb adding standard components like drivers\, monitors\, and scoreboards but without bringing the full weight of a UVM environment. While in some ways a spiritual successor to cocotb-bus\, Forastero goes further and provides mechanisms for generating complex random stimulus. In this talk I’ll present how you can use Forastero to quickly construct a testbench around a DUT\, driving and monitoring multiple interfaces\, and producing complex stimulus patterns. Forastero is fully open source and comes with both documentation and examples. It can be found on GitHub at github.com/Intuity/forastero \nDFHDL: The 3-in-1 Abstraction Approach to Hardware Design\nOron Port\nJoin us for a dive into DFHDL (DFiant Hardware Description Language)\, where we break down a fresh approach to hardware design. This talk introduces a unique three-layer abstraction method that blends Dataflow (DF)\, Register-Transfer (RT)\, and Event-Driven (ED) models into one streamlined framework. We’ll explore how DFHDL simplifies and speeds up the logic design processes and our goals to do the same for verification. Expect a straightforward discussion on how each layer of DFHDL works\, why it matters\, and what it means for the future of hardware design. We’ll share real-life examples and insights that show DFHDL in action. Whether you’re deep into hardware design or just curious about how chips come to life\, this talk has something for you. DFHDL is an opensource framework available at https://dfianthdl.github.io/ (WIP) \nBYOL (Build Your Own Linter) – UVMLint for IEEE-UVM core code development\nAjeetha Kumari Venkatesan\nUVM is the most adopted design verification methodology in the field of ASIC and FPGA designs. Lint and static checking of code has proven to be very effective in projects that have wide user base\, longer lifetime and distributed developers. During the recent UVM IEEE 1800.2-2023 release cycle\, an observation was made regarding the potential application of a custom UVMLint solution to lint the UVM Base Class Library (BCL) as it gets developed\, updated etc. We at AsFigo have developed custom rules for linting UVM BCL code on top of PySlint\, an open-source SystemVerilog testbench linter. We intend to offer this as an opensource lint package to the UVM IEEE committee and to the general audience via GitHub. The eventual goal is to have these rules as gatekeepers via GitHub actions so that any future code addition to the UVM BCL is free from common pitfalls. Based on early brainstorming\, below are some of the sample lint rules that are relevant to the UVM BCL codebase: • Avoid race condition around “static const” (use localparam instead) • Avoid one-liner conditional statements: o if (cond) $display (“cond”); o if (cond) .. else $display (“Else cond as single line”); o case..endcase • Avoid one-liner code in loops: o for\, repeat\, while\, do..while\, foreach • Use enadlabels for elements such as endclass\, endfunction\, endtask etc. • Flag non-virtual methods Typical UVMLint rules for a VIP user would be quite different from the requirements of UVM BCL. These rules are tailored for UVM BCL codebase. As an example\, a typical UVMLint rule for a VIP would be: • Check that agent is reusable by ensuring that active components are guarded with a conditional check to is_active == UVM_ACTIVE Such a rule is quite useless for UVM BCL as it provides the base class library for tens of thousands of engineers around the globe using this library to build VIPs\, verify their IPs\, systems etc. In this talk we show how we approach this cusotm UVMLint development with sample Python code\, tests and results. A snapshot of UVMLint findings on latest IEEE 1800.2-2023 codebase is below: ** Violation count by Rule-IDs ** DBG_CL_MISSING_ENDLABEL : 286 DBG_METHOD_MISSING_ENDLABEL : 1899 DBG_FN_MISSING_ENDLABEL : 752 DBG_AVOID_ONE_LINER_IF : 73 DBG_AVOID_ONE_LINER_ELSE : 88 RACE_NO_STATIC_CONST : 8 REUSE_NON_VIRTUAL_METHOD : 1407 — UVMLint Concise Report — Total number of rules violated: 7 \nContact\nPlease feel free to reach out to the event organizers via orconf@fossi-foundation.org at any point.
