Applied Logic & Computation in System Design- An invitation to ALComLab Jie-Hong R. Jiang 江介宏 DEE/GIEE National Taiwan University
About ALComLab • Founded in August 2005 • Caring about solving a good problem cleverly • We are cooking a pleasant research environment and a culture of creativity • Regular boardgame nights • Puzzle solving • Focus/study groups • … • Aiming high and identifying a niche
New blood wanted! • We desperately eager for talented students joining us to claim challenging and exciting research projects • Yes, you are one of the talents!
Where are we heading? Verification Optimization Foundations
Challenges • Verification • 60-80% design time is spent on verification • 3-to-1 head count ratio between verification engineers and logic designers • Optimization • Stringent design constraints on power/timing/yield, etc. • Foundations • Design beyond silicon? New models of computation?
Equivalence verification Algorithm ? Architecture 1 (e.g. synchronous) Architecture 2 (e.g. asynchronous) ? = register-transfer level ? = ? = gate level 1 gate level 2
? x ? z = xy y x ? y x-1 ? + y Property verification • Identify invariants • Apply induction Ex. • + 2 + … + n n + n-1 + … + 1 + Ex.
