With the increasing complexity and dynamism in today's product design and manufacturing, more optimal, robust and practical approaches and systems are needed to support product design and manufacturing activities. Multi-objective Evolutionary Optimisation for Product Design and Manufacturing presents a focused collection of quality chapters on state-of-the-art research efforts in multi-objective evolutionary optimisation, as well as their practical applications to integrated product design and manufacturing. Multi-objective Evolutionary Optimisation for Product Design and Manufacturing consists of two major sections. The first presents a broad-based review of the key areas of research in multi-objective evolutionary optimisation. The second gives in-depth treatments of selected methodologies and systems in intelligent design and integrated manufacturing. Recent developments and innovations in multi-objective evolutionary optimisation make Multi-objective Evolutionary Optimisation for Product Design and Manufacturing a useful text for a broad readership, from academic researchers to practicing engineers.

Uncertainty in key parameters within a chip and between different chips in the deep sub micron era plays a more and more important role. As a result, manufacturing process spreads need to be considered during the design process.  Quantitative methodology is needed to ensure faultless functionality, despite existing process variations within given bounds, during product development.   This book presents the technological, physical, and mathematical fundamentals for a design paradigm shift, from a deterministic process to a probability-orientated design process for microelectronic circuits.  Readers will learn to evaluate the different sources of variations in the design flow in order to establish different design variants, while applying appropriate methods and tools to evaluate and optimize their design.  Trains IC designers to recognize problems caused by parameter variations during manufacturing and to choose the best methods available to mitigate these issues during the design process; Offers both qualitative and quantitative insight into critical effects of process variation from perspectives of manufacturing, electronic design automation and circuit design; Describes critical effects of process variation using simple examples that can be reproduced by the reader.

On-Chip Interconnect with aelite: Composable and Predictable Systems by: (Authors) Andreas Hansson Kees Goossens Embedded systems are comprised of components integrated on a single circuit, a System on Chip (SoC). One of the critical elements of such an SoC, and the focus of this work, is the on-chip interconnect that enables different components to communicate with each other. The book provides a comprehensive description and implementation methodology for the Philips/NXP Aethereal/aelite Network-on-Chip (NoC). The presentation offers a systems perspective, starting from the system requirements and deriving and describing the resulting hardware architectures, embedded software, and accompanying design flow. Readers get an in depth view of the interconnect requirements, not centered only on performance and scalability, but also the multi-faceted, application-driven requirements, in particular composability and predictability. The book shows how these qualitative requirements are implemented in a state-of-the-art on-chip interconnect, and presents the realistic, quantitative costs. ¢Uses real-world illustrations extensively, in the form of case studies and examples that communicate the power of the methods presented; ¢Uses one consistent, running example throughout the book. This example is introduced in the introductory chapter and supports the presentation throughout the work, with additional details given in each chapter; ¢Content has both breadth (architecture, resource allocation, hardware/software instantiation, formal verification) and depth (block-level architecture description, allocation algorithms, complete run-time APIs, detailed formal models, complete case studies mapped to FPGAs); ¢Includes numerous case studies, e.g. a JPEG decoder, set-top box and digital radio design.

Low-Power Variation-Tolerant Design in Nanometer Silicon Edited by: Swarup Bhunia Saibal Mukhopadhyay Design considerations for low-power operations and robustness with respect to variations typically impose contradictory requirements. Low-power design techniques such as voltage scaling, dual-threshold assignment and gate sizing can have large negative impact on parametric yield under process variations. This book focuses on circuit/architectural design techniques for achieving low power operation under parameter variations. Coverage includes logic and memory design, modeling and analysis, as well as design methodology to achieve simultaneously low power and variation tolerance, while minimizing design overhead. ¢Introduces readers to some of the most important challenges in low-power and variation-tolerant IC design in nanoscale technologies; ¢Presents a holistic view of Low-Power Variation-Tolerant Design, at different levels of design abstraction, starting from device to circuit, architecture and system; ¢Offers comprehensive coverage of modeling, analysis and design methodology for low power and variation-tolerant logic circuits, memory and systems, micro-architecture, DSP, mixed-signal and FPGAs, including current industrial practices, technology scaling trends, and emerging challenges; ¢Describes in detail modeling and analysis of different variation effects (die-to-die and within-die, process and temporal) on low-power designs; Includes coverage of ultra low-power and robust sub-threshold design.
