Among
other VLSI integration tasks, I spent most of my time creating the "AddBuf" methodology, algorithm, and tool suite for
buffer insertion. In modern
microprocessors, interconnect speed is the preeminent cause of delay; thus
timing critical paths are wire dominated.
Buffers (pairs of inverters) strengthen an electrical signal like an
amplifier to increase signal distance or reduce noise. AddBuf seeks to
effortlessly, visually, and correctly solve the complex buffer problems that
all gigahertz speed microprocessors face.
Through automatic and graphically interactive solution generation, AddBuf promotes rapid design iteration. It shaves weeks off of design cycles, and
is now used in every IBM microprocessor design
project: PowerPC970, Power5, Power5+,
Power6, TSAURS, PlayStation 3, and X-Box 360. (0.9um and 0.65um process chips) |
