Design Automation Summer School 2007

2007年设计自动化暑期学校Vikas Chandra和Kartik Mohanram设计自动化暑期学校(DASS)将为研究生提供参加为期两天的设计自动化(DA)研发领域强化课程的机会。本课程中的每个教学主题都将由一位知名的研究人员负责，他将确定主题，详细描述最新的成就，并概述即将到来的挑战。与会者之间的互动讨论和后续活动将结束一项针对发展议程研究生的密集而全面的活动。该学院为攻读DA博士学位的研究生提供机会，参加为期一周的强化课程，重点关注DA的核心以及新的和新兴的领域。该学院旨在扩大和补充目前大学提供的有限且往往高度集中的发展议程课程。所选主题包括新器件和体系结构、容错/可重构纳米系统；硬件/软件协同设计、高级综合和优化、系统级设计；逻辑综合和优化；电路和互连建模、设计和优化、信号完整性；时序、统计时序分析；布局和布线、布局规划、物理设计；制造设计；验证、测试、验证；低功耗设计、新器件中的功耗和泄漏；3D集成过程中的热和物理效应；DASS的目标与NSF的主要目标非常吻合，即投资于下一代工程师和计算机科学家的教育，并从代表不足的人群中实现更广泛的参与。DASS还旨在补充电子设计自动化领域的教育和专业发展活动，包括奖学金、奖项和扩展项目，如大学展位、CADAthlon和设计自动化会议(DAC)博士论坛，这些项目在过去十年中取得了巨大成功。这些计划旨在介绍和概述新出现的挑战，并培养下一批发展议程工程师的创造性思维。同时，他们还帮助学生磨练解决问题、编程和团队合作的技能，并培养长期的大学关系。总而言之，这些项目是一项创新举措，旨在帮助电子设计自动化领域的尖子生发展。同时，它们也为学术界提供了一个平台。

0732367Design Automation Summer School 2007Vikas Chandra and Kartik MohanramThe Design Automation Summer School (DASS) will offer graduate students the opportunity to participate in a two day intensive course on selected areas of research and development in design automation (DA). Each topic of instruction in this course will be covered by a well-established researcher who will define the topic, describe recent accomplishments in considerable detail, and outline upcoming challenges. Interactive discussions and follow up activities among the participants will round off an intensive yet comprehensive activity geared towards graduate students in DA. Intellectual Merit The School offers graduate students pursuing doctoral studies in DA the opportunity to participate in a week-long intensive course focusing on the core as well as new and emerging areas in DA. The school is intended to broaden and complement a limited and often highly focused curriculum in DA that is currently offered at universities. The topics selected include new devices and architectures, fault-tolerant/reconfigurable nano-systems; hardware/software co-design, high-level synthesis and optimization, system level design; logic synthesis and optimization; circuit and interconnect modeling, design, and optimization, signal integrity; timing, statistical timing analysis; place and route, floorplanning, physical design; design for manufacturing; verification, testing, validation; low power design, power and leakage in new devices; thermal and physical effects during 3D integration; and MEMS CAD.Broader ImpactThe goals of the DASS dovetail well into the NSF's primary objectives of investing in the education of the next generation of engineers and computer scientists and achieving broadened participation from underrepresented populations. The DASS is also intended to complement educational and professional development activities in the electronic design automation arena including scholarships, awards, and outreach projects such as the University Booth, the CADAthlon, and the Design Automation Conference (DAC) Ph.D. forum that have met with tremendous success over the past decade. These programs are intended to introduce and outline emerging challenges, and to foster creative thinking in the next crop of DA engineers. Simultaneously, they also help the students hone their problem solving, programming, and teamwork skills in additional to fostering long-termcollegial relationships. Together, these programs serve as an innovative initiative to assist in the development of top students in the field of electronic design automation. Simultaneously, they provide a platform for academia.
