This paper presents a methodology for high-level power modeling of cell-based processors. A flexible power model library, which can automatically generate detailed power data for actual circuits of each part of given processor, is developed and annotated dynamically for architecture-level power simulator. According to this method, the dynamic power, leakage power and even area and cell counts can be accurately estimated, and the preliminary power validation for a MIPS microprocessor proves our methodology to be effective and highly correlated, with only small errors comparing with the gate-level power analysis.
Recently, selective encoding of scan slices is proposed to compress test data. This encoding technique, unlike many other compression techniques encoding all the bits, only encodes the target-symbol by specifying sing...

As the scale of parallel machine grows, communication network is playing more important role than ever before. Communication affects not only execution time, but also scalability of parallel applications. Parallel interconnection network simulator is a suitable tool to study large-scale interconnection networks. However, simulating packet level communication on detailed cycle-to-cycle network models is a really challenge work. We implement a kernel-based parallel simulator HPPNetSim to solve problems. Optimistic PDES mechanism needs huge memory consumption of saving simulation entities' states in large-scale simulations, so we chose conservative synchronization approach. Simulation kernel and network models are all carefully designed. To accelerate process of simulation, optimizations are introduced, such as block/unblock synchronization, load balancing, dynamic look-ahead generation, and etc. Simulation examples and performance results show that both high accuracy and good performance are obtained in HPPNetSim. It achieves speedup of 19.8 for 32 processing nodes when simulating 36-port 3-tree fat-tree network.
For a gigahertz microprocessor with multiple clock domains and a large amount of embedded RAMs (Random Access Memory), generating at-speed testing patterns is becoming very difficult and very time-consuming. This pape...

Pairwise testing, which requires that every combination of valid values of each pair of system factors be covered by at lease one test case, plays an important role in software testing since many faults are caused by unexpected 2-way interactions among system factors. In real systems, constraints usually exist between values, which means that some values cannot coexist in a valid test. Although meta-heuristic strategies like simulated annealing can generally discover smaller pairwise test suite in the presence of constraints, they may cost more time to perform search, compared with greedy algorithms. We propose a new method, improved extremal optimization, for constructing constrained pairwise test suites. Experimental results show that improved extremal optimization gives similar size of resulting pairwise test suite and yields a 13% reduction in solution time over simulated annealing.

As the scale of parallel machine grows, communication network is playing more important role than ever before. Communication affects not only execution time, but also scalability of parallel applications. Parallel interconnection network simulator is a suitable tool to study large-scale in-terconnection networks. However, simulating packet level communication on detailed cycle-to-cycle network models is a really challenge work. We implement a kernel-based parallel simulator HPPNetSim to solve problems. Optimistic PDES mechanism needs huge memory consumption of sav-ing simulation entities' states in large-scale simulations, so we chose conservative synchronization approach. Simula-tion kernel and network models are all carefully designed.

In the literature of traffic flow theory, the research on the effect on stability of traffic flow for cooperative driving control possesses an important significance. However, presently the the study on the problem is unsatisfactory because it is difficult to determine the impact qualitatively or quantitatively in real traffic experiment. In this paper, some efforts have been made for better understanding the effect on stability of traffic flow for cooperative driving control by investigating the stability for lattice traffic models, which are presented here by incorporating motion information of cars preceding. From linear stability analysis and direct simulations validation, we learn some properties of the effect on the stability and congestion waves by using the information of many other cars. First, cooperative driving behavior of many cars preceding can efficiently stabilize the traffic flow. Second, cooperative driving behavior of the cars nearby plays a prominent role in stability. Third, when the car number participating in cooperative driving policy exceeds a certain value, the congestion waves will disappear.

Bugs are tending to be unavoidable in the design of complex integrated circuits. It is imperative to identify the bugs as soon as possible by post-silicon debug. The main challenge for post-silicon debug is the observability of the internal signals. This paper exploits the fact that it is not necessary to observe the error free states. Then we introduce "suspect window" and present a method for determining its boundary. Based on suspect window, we propose a debug approach to achieve high observability by reusing scan chain. Since scan dumps take place only in suspect window, debug time is greatly reduced. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

In today's web, more and more software and applications are wrapped as services. However interactions between services are not always perfectly completed because of mismatches among them. service mediation and adaptation problems obtain increasingly concerns. In this paper, we propose an extension of interface automata, labelled interface automata, to illustrate mismatching services and adaptation. We characterize the problem by classifying different kinds of adaptation scenarios. Then we focus on how to use labelled interface automata to illustrate the building of adaption service between mismatching services.
