Abstract :
No doubt, core based design, also known as IP-based design, is seen as the most promising strategy for increasing design productivity and thus closing the design gap. Several alternatives for using IP cores are possible starting from full layout to functional descriptions, which need high-level synthesis techniques to be mapped to a net-list. This workshop will focus on the modifications needed to the IEEE Std. 1164 package for all design styles of IPs and SoC. For the purpose of this workshop, the modifications are grouped into extensions, changes, and enhancements. In addition, standardization aspects, i.e. the inclusion of IEEE 1164 directly in IEEE 1076, will be discussed.
