Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This paper presents novel computer-aided design (CAD) techniques for mitigating IR-drops in field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). The proposed placement and routing relies on reducing the switching activities in local regions in the FPGA fabric to improve the profile of the supply voltage distribution. The proposed techniques reduce IR-drops and the variance of the supply voltage distribution across all the nodes in the power grid network. The proposed CAD techniques are efficient as they do not require solving the power grid model at every placement and routing iteration. A reduction of up to 53% in maximum IR-drop and up to 66% reduction in standard deviation of is obtained from the design techniques proposed in this paper with an average impact of 3% on circuit delay.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
