CISE Research Instrumentation: Support for System-on-a-Chip and Embedded System Research

普林斯顿大学cise研究仪器：为片上系统和嵌入式系统研究提供仪器支持普林斯顿大学电气工程系将购买高端服务器、工作站、网络硬件和CAD工具，这些将专门用于支持计算机工程的研究。该设备将用于几个研究项目，一般都在计算机体系结构、计算机辅助设计领域，特别侧重于嵌入式系统和单片系统的先进设计和体系结构技术。在半导体行业的基本范式转换系统设计中，整个系统构建在单个芯片上，使用多个称为核心的嵌入式功能块。芯片密度的不断增加使得这一切成为可能。目前的0.25微米技术已经使得在一个芯片上集成数千万个晶体管成为可能，并且相当大的兴趣集中在讨论十亿晶体管单片系统（soc）的内容应该是什么。我们建议开发算法和工具，为半导体公司提供具有突破性潜力的关键技术，并开发高效的软件环境和工具来处理SOC设计的各个方面的问题。

EIA-9911078Margaret MartonosiPrinceton UniversityCISE Research Instrumentation: Instrumentation Support for System-On-A-Chip and Embedded System ResearchThe Department of Electrical Engineering at Princeton University will purchase a high-end server, workstations, networking hardware, and CAD tools, which will be dedicated to support research in computer engineering. The equipment will be used for several research projects, all generally in the areas of Computer Architecture, Computer-Aided Design, and particularly focused on advancing design and architecture techniques for embedded systems and systems-on-a chip.In a fundamental paradigm shift system design in the semiconductor industry, entire systems are being built on a single chip, using multiple embedded functional blocks called cores. This has been made possible by the ever-increasing density of chips. The current 0.25-micron technology has made it possible to integrate tens of millions of transistors on one chip, and considerable interest is focused on discussing what the contents of billion-transistor systems-on- a-chip (SOCs) ought to be.We propose to develop algorithms and tools to provide key technologies with breakthrough potential to semiconductor companies,and to develop efficient software environments and tools to deal with all aspects of the SOC design problem.
