In the last week, I was working on the following, i) Finished the draft of derivation for statistical time slack allocation considering timing and power yield ii) Finished SPICE simulation for 15X switch considering process variations. Curve fitting for delay, leakage power and dynamic energy per signal switch have also been done. VddH, VddL and Power-gating are all tested. iii) Read Majid's iccad04 paper, which transforms LP problem into its dual problem, then formulates the dual problem into a min-cost network flow problem. By solving the network flow problem and finding the shortest path to the virtual sink for each node in the residual graph, slack is optimally budgeted. iv) Helped Yu for vpr_lp and set up experiments. Discussed with Yu for the heuristic which uses the sink with minimun slack instead of min function which is not suitable for network flow transformation. Todo i) Extend dTLC-LP to consider the mix of wire segments with different lengths ii) Check out MOSEK and code iii) Set up preliminary experiments iv) Read Hai's iccad05 paper and tcad review paper
