Optimized GPU-Accelerated Fault Simulation with Fault Grouping

PDF-Version

Description

In today's technology nodes a growing number of chips contain safety-critical components which are used in advanced driver assistance and in future for level 5 full self driving vehicles. The chips used in this area have demanding requirements for long-term reliability which increases the simulation runtime for test validation. Therefore eletronic design automation tools are mostly compute intensive when running circuit simulations and result therefore in a bottleneck, when simulated with multi-million gate designs.

Problem statement

This bachelor thesis focus on implementing an optimized greedy algorithm in C++ that groups parallel computable faults together and therefore optimizes both the runtime of the greedy algorithm and the runtime of the GPU-accelerated fault simulation. Figure 1 shows a simple example of this idea. The evaluation of this work is done by comparing the new implemented algorithm with an existing approach implemented in Java [2].

Solution aspects

  • Literature survey on the problem
  • Implement and evaluate both approaches
  • Using GPU-Simulation
  • Evaluation of the approach by means of simulation

Requirements

  • Interest in working in a current research project FAST supported by the DFG
  • Skills in C++, git, cmake, (a little bit Java)
