Abstract:

Afin de créer et de prédire le comportement de bibliothèques de catalyseurs, on utilise des techniques informatiques. Les difficultés couramment rencontrées peuvent être résolues grâce à des algorithmes de méta modélisation. Nous décrivons précisément ces algorithmes qui consistent en l'hybridation de méthodes d'optimisation et d'extraction des connaissances. Plusieurs cas d'étude nous permettent d'expliquer comment les paramétrer efficacement selon le cas. Les conclusions démontrent que la méta modélisation est une technique efficace pour créer des bibliothèques virtuelles prometteuses. Pour obtenir l'ensemble de ces résultats, nous avons développé le logiciel OptiCat. Grâce à une interface utilisateur intuitive, OptiCat permet de construire et d'utiliser les algorithmes d'optimisation les plus complexes en quelques secondes. OptiCat et son code source sont distribués gratuitement à l'adresse hpp://chirouble. Univ-lyon2. Fr/~fclerc/
For designing and screening virtual libraries of catalysts, computer techniques are used. The most current difficulties encountered can be overtopped with the help of meta modeling algorithms. In this thesis, we precisely describe these methods that hybridize optimization with data mining. Computer experiments demonstrate the superiority of meta modeling compared to classic methods. Moreover, on the basis of several case studies, we explain how to tune efficiently optimization and learning parameters. Conclusions prove this technique is very efficient for virtual library design : important guidelines are found and costs are minimized. For obtaining these results, we developed the OptiCat software. Thanks to an intuitive graphical user interface, the user can easily tune and run the most complex optimization algorithms within seconds. OptiCat and its source code are downloadable free of charge at http://chirouble. Univ-lyon2. Fr/~fclerc/

Full text

Abstract:

This present study sought to evaluate the effectiveness of two types of school library displays: a display with books only, called Display, and a display with books, posters, models, copy, and realia, called Display +. The effectiveness of these displays was to be measured in two ways: a) through the observation of the attaction power, holding power and viewer participation in a display and b) through measuring the circulation of displayed books. Before commencing the study a literature search was conducted. The result of the literature search yielded four authors, Goldhor (1972; 1981), Aguilar (1983), Watson (1985), and Baker (1986), who had researched the relationship between circulation and displays. Each of these studies used the measurable effect of circulation increasing, decreasing or remaining constant to determine the effect of the display. This present study used a similar methodology and monitored the circulation of books on both types of displays. However, this study sought to go beyond the effect of circulation in determining the effectiveness of displays because the previous studies had not taken into account the library user who is affected by the display but is unable to borrow a book from the display. The literature search turned towards the area of museum exhibits and displays and the methodology employed to evaluate these exhibits and displays. Shettel (1968), Warren (1972), Screven (1976), Linn (1976), Clowes and Wolfe (1980), and Miles (1982) used attraction and holding power as measures of museum exhibit and display effectiveness. Similarly, library users can be attracted and their attention held by library displays. To the variables of attraction and holding power this study added the variable of participation, picking up books or other items in the display not necessarily with the intent of borrowing the books. In order to construct a Display + and control as far as possible the elements in the display a literature search of books and articles relating to the design elements of displays was conducted, and findings applied in the construction of the display. Shettel's (1968) methodology of unobtrusive observation was employed in this study with the added benefit of videotaping the observations. The hypotheses were set out in three groups, those relating to a single display, those comparing the effectiveness of Display and Display +, and those relating to circulation. The results of this study found in general that the attraction power of Display + exceeded the attraction power of Display but the holding power and participation in Display was greater than that of Display + indicating that the designer of library displays should pay particular attention to the purpose of displays in their libraries. The results of the circulation hypothesis confirmed the results of Goldhor (1972;1981), Aguilar (1983), Watson (1985), and Baker (1986) that more books circulated when they were displayed than when they were on the library shelves.

Full text

Abstract:

In this project, the challenges facing public libraries and the emerging trend of involving users in library development have been combined with inspiration from the field of urban media design. The aim has been to explore what behaviors public media surfaces designed for culture and exchange could possess, and to argue for the benefits of integrating the library in the urban fabric. The result is a proposed set of tactics for how the library can consciously work with allowing patrons to leave and follow traces. It is manifested in a concept that creates a narrative around each library book, print as well as ebook, and makes its journey tangible by visualizing its digital patina. The system also allows patrons to leave ebooks at designated nodes around the city, thus influencing which books are made available where.

Abstract:

Answering the call issued by John Underkoffler in 2010 about the future of UI, I have imagined the Immersive Media Library (IML) as an annex of the main VCU library, offering a concentration of visually immersive spaces to compliment the space the university is already building in the renovated Cabell Library. The design is new in that the emphasis is placed on the collaboration between librarians and visitors in creating new work. Focusing on the interpersonal might be unexpected from program with such an emphasis on new technology - but I see it as vital part of the new computing paradigm.

Abstract:

This thesis is an investigation into the impact of design elements on human behavior as explored through the design of a library. A library was chosen for its role in the community and because of the diverse group of users a library affects. A library, defined as a collection of things, is also a metaphor for the role memory plays in determining the emotive response a person has to their surroundings. Memory acts as collection of internal associations and, when engaged through sensory experience, memory dictates an emotional reaction to a space based on previous experiences. This project is a discovery of how to engage the senses and the memory in order to evoke an emotive response.

Abstract:

Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited
The Management System for Heterogeneous Networks (MSHN) requires the gathering of resource usage information of applications that run within the MSHN system and status information of the resources within the scope of the MSHN scheduler. The MSHN scheduler uses this information to make decisions. This thesis investigates one method of gathering the required information: a client library. This research develops the mechanism and policy for the client library's resource monitoring role and carefully documents how applications can be easily linked with this client library. During run time the client library gathers information on an application's resource utilization by intercepting system calls and through the use of operating system functions. Resource information gathered includes total runtime, local and remote disk use, network use, memory use, CPU use, and time blocked waiting on user input. The client library also determines end-to-end perceived status of the resources that the application uses. Specifically, this thesis develops a policy for passively gathering network performance characteristics, i.e., latency and throughput. The per system call overhead added varied from less than 1% to 326%, with an average of 3% overhead added to the run-time of test programs

Abstract:

Data-intensive stream processing applications have escalated in popularity in recent years, producing numerous designs and implementations for handling unbounded streams of high-volume data. The sheer size and dimensionality of these types of data requires multiple machines to push processing throughput of hundreds of millions events per second at low latencies. Advances in the fields of distributed deep learning and stream processing have highlighted networking-specific challenges and requirements such as flow control and scalable communication abstractions. Existing stream processing frameworks, however, only address subsets of these requirements. This thesis proposes a design and implementation in the Rust programming language for a modular networking library able to address these requirements together. The design entails protocol framing, buffer management, stream multiplexing, flow control, and stream prioritization. The implemented prototype handles multiplexing of logical streams and credit-based flow control through a flexible application programming interface. The prototype is tested for overall throughput and round-trip latency in a distributed environment, displaying promising results in both categories.
Under de senaste åren har applikationer för dataintensiv ström bearbetning blivit avsevärt mer vanliga. Detta har lett till en uppsjö av modeller och implementationer för hantering av dataströmmar av gränslös volym. Blotta datamängden och dess dimensionalitet kräver otaliga maskiner för att med låg latens hantera hundratals miljoner händelser per sekund. Framsteg inom området för distribuerad djupinlärning och ström bearbetning har blottlagt nätverksspecifika utmaningar och krav såsom flödeskontroll och skalbara kommunikationsabstraktioner. Nuvarande beräkningssystem för ström bearbetning uppfyller dessvärre bara en del av dessa villkor. Detta examensarbete presenterar en modell och implementation i programmeringsspråket Rust för ett modulärt nätverksbibliotek som kan hantera alla dessa krav på en gång. Modellen inbegriper datainramning, bufferhantering, ström multiplexing, flödeskontroll och ström prioritering. Prototypen som här implementerats hanterar multiplexing av logiska dataströmmar och kreditbaserad flödeskontroll genom ett flexibelt applikationsgränssnitt. Prototypen har testats i avseende å nätverk genomströmning och tur-och-returtid i ett distribuerat upplägg, med lovande resultat i bägge kategorier.

Abstract:

Public libraries have changed tremendously. Libraries used to be places with an organized collection of documents that people would visit and read quietly. However, with the development of digital technology, people are now able to conveniently access the same information from home or elsewhere. Instead of a storehouse of knowledge, a library is now a community center. Preschoolers attend story time with their parents and adults come with friends for entertainment and events. Nowadays, libraries have become a gathering place for social, leisure, self-education and learning activities. In this thesis, I am exploring how to design spaces which can encourage communication between people. According to Jan Gehl's book, Cities for People, watching, listening and experiencing others is the beginning of social communication. After studying precedents, I summarized basic space prototypes which promote communication and then applied them to the design of a large urban public library on a site in Arlington, Virginia. By translating the different prototypes into the design, the resulting building provides spaces with different scales, levels of privacy and qualities to fulfill a wide range of individual needs.

Abstract:

An increasing amount of coursework, both at the secondary and postsecondary level, is being conducted online. This shift in the delivery method of education which began at the college level is now occurring throughout the K-16 continuum. Because many of the students in these classes and programs will never set foot into the host institution, this transformation has necessitated a great deal of change in all aspects of library services, including information literacy instruction. This conference program will spotlight some innovative ways that libraries are conducting and delivering instruction to this new cohort.

Full text

Abstract:

Limited resources are currently available to assist engineers in implementing compliant members into mechanical designs. As a result, engineers often have little to no direction incorporating compliant mechanisms. This thesis develops a conceptual design framework and process that utilizes a proposed classification scheme and a library of mechanisms to help engineers incorporate compliant mechanisms into their applications. As the knowledge related to the synthesis and analysis of compliant mechanisms continues to grow and mature, and through the classification scheme established in this thesis, compliant mechanisms may become more extensively used in commercial mechanical designs. This thesis also demonstrates a design approach engineers can use to convert an existing rigid-body mechanism into a compliant mechanism by using the established classification scheme and a library of compliant mechanisms. This approach proposes two possible techniques that use rigid-body replacement synthesis in conjunction with a compliant mechanism classification scheme. One technique replaces rigid-body elements with a respective compliant element. The other technique replaces a complex rigid-body mechanism by decomposing the mechanism into simpler functions and then replacing a respective rigid-body mechanism with a compliant mechanism that has a similar functionality. These techniques are then demonstrated by developing and designing a competitive and feasible compliant road bicycle brake system.

This thesis presents a new simple lightweight C++ thread based parallelization library, intended for use in numerical algorithms. It provides simple multitasking and task synchronization functions. The library hides all internal system calls from the developer and utilizes thread pooling to provide better performance and utilization of system time and resources. The library is lightweight and platform independent, and has been tested on Linux, and Windows. Experiments were conducted to verify the proper functionality of the library and to show that parallelized algorithms on a single machine are more efficient than using the Message Passing Interface (MPI) using shared memory. In the opinion of several researchers who have used this library, the parallelized code is more easily understood and debugged than MPI. The results of initial experiments show that algorithms are as efficient or better than those using MPI.

Abstract:

The US National Science Foundation has established a program to create a National Science, Mathematics, Engineering and Technology Education Digital Library (NSDL). One of the subsidiary NSDL libraries under development is the National Civil Engineering Educational Resources Library (NCERL). The first phase of NCERL is the creation and collection of digital resources in three areas of civil engineeringâ geotechnical (soil), rock, and water engineering (GROW). The concept of interactivities guides the design, development, and evaluation efforts of the GROW digital collection. This article describes the salient features of GROW, defines and discusses interactivities as an emerging, integral part of teaching and learning in civil engineering education. Interactivities take place at three distinct levels: the information resource, the collection, and the context. Very simply, the concept of interactivities can be defined as the emphasis on structured representations of interactive multimedia resources. Additionally, resources are designed with rich learning tasks and organized in pedagogical collections supplemented with contextual information. Preliminary evaluation of GROW-NCERL using interactivities is briefly described.

Abstract:

This thesis describes the development of a fragment library in order to identify the value of shape-diverse molecules in their ability to target novel areas of shape-space. Chapter 1 introduces known approaches to ligand discovery as well as the concept of chemical space and molecular shape diversity. Chapter 2 describes the computational tools and protocols used to identify fragments of interest from both commercial and Leeds libraries, that fulfil the criteria of maximum coverage of reference shapes as well as high shape-diversity. The synthesis of fragments based on Leeds chemistry is described in Chapter 3, focusing on four key chemistries established within the Nelson group, as well as the reselection of molecules to overcome synthetic challenges. Chapter 4 describes the screen of the library of fragments using high-throughput X-ray crystallography, as well as the development of a novel fragment hit against Aurora A kinase. Overall my fragment library was successful in its ability to investigate unexplored shape-space and presented valuable hits against a useful target.

A design is proposed for a library located on a comer site in a downtown area of some historical importance. The character of the surrounding buildings demanded that the library acknowledge its context. This acknowledgement occurred through the use of an axial organization from the site and a transformation of formal elements from the surrounding buildings. Included are developmental sketches; transformational drawings; plans, elevations and sections of the library; photographs of surrounding buildings; and frames from a computer-animated ”fly-through” view of the library.

Understanding the profiles of information acquisition during DNA sequencing experiments is critical to the design and implementation of large-scale studies in medical and population genetics. One known technical challenge and cost driver in next-generation sequencing data is the occurrence of non-independent observations that are created from sequencing artifacts and duplication events from polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The current study demonstrates improved return on investment (ROI) modeling strategies to better anticipate the impact of non-independent observations in multiple forms of next-generation sequencing data. Here, a physical modeling approach based on Pó1ya urn was evaluated using both multi-point estimation and duplicate set occupancy vectors. The results of this study can be used to reduce sequencing costs by improving aspects of experimental design including sample pooling strategies, top-up events, and termination of non-informative samples.

Abstract:

Cell-based design is a widely adopted design approach in current Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASIC) and System-on-Chip (SOC) designs. A standard cell library is a collection of basic building blocks that can be used in cell-based design. The use of a standard cell library offers shorter design time, induces fewer errors in the design process, and is easier to maintain. Development of a cell library is laborious, prone to errors and even a small error on a library cell can possibly be disastrous due to repeated use of the cell in a design. In this thesis, we investigated ways to automate the process for development of a cell library, specifically TSMC 0.18-micron CMOS standard cell library. We examined various steps in the design flow to identify required repetitive tasks for individual cells. Those steps include physical verification, netlist extraction, cell characterization, and generation of Synopsys Liberty Format file. We developed necessary scripts in Skill, Tcl, Perl and Shell to automate those steps. Additionally, we developed scripts to automate the quality assurance process of the cell library, where quality assurance consists of verifying the entire ASIC design flow adopted for the Virginia Tech VLSI Telecommunications (VTVT) lab. Our scripts have been successfully used to develop our TSMC 0.18-micron library and to verify the quality assurance. The first version of the cell library was released on November 1, 2007 to universities worldwide, and as of March 2008, 20 universities have received the library from us.

This day of age when an increasing demands for better and more environmental friendlymaterial is requested. At the same time is also higher demands on the designers todevelop new products for the future. To design new products which express a futuristicfeeling and a “must-have-feeling”. Therefore is there a need to educate better designersand architects for the future a better knowledge for material. Both for existing designersand architects but also for new designers. To encourage learning and discover newmaterial is new tools important, a tool such as a meeting point in which people meet, talkand discover new materials. A meeting place in which a material library has its naturalplace, a place designers, architects and laymen can visit. The great advantages of a material library is the possibility to touch and feel the materialsamples. To invite people to use their senses and learn about materials. This report focus on how to best build and present a material library in the facility of apublic place. But also how to construct a mobile module used as a tool for education.Each scenario has their own dilemma and needs, for example, in the University library atJönköping has criterion for a module that fits into the regular exhibition. To present newand innovative material samples in a manner that reminds of how people search forbooks on the shelves. For the mobile module is focus more towards presenting material samples used in theproduction today. The presentation is more focus on presenting material samples during alecture in which the teacher stands in front of a class and pointing towards the materialand students are allowed to touch and feel the material samples when they have thepossibility to do so. Besides this will the mobile module also work as mobile storagelocation for each department’s material samples.

Abstract:

The unique decision making environment that occurs in ship concept design prevents a full exploration of possible solution styles. However, alternative styles present distinct advantages in certain situations. This is particularly true for different hullform styles which can give significant performance benefits. To fully capitalise upon these alternatives, a comprehensive exploration should occur at the outset of the design process. Current ship design methods have been found to limit the designer’s ability to rapidly explore a large number of radically differing alternatives. This is a consequence of a common requirement for the early selection of design styles. Clearly, some approach able to support the designer in exploring alternative styles early in the design process would offer the designer significant advantages. This thesis begins with the identification of a gap in the design methods currently avail- able to the designer selecting hullform style early in the ship design process. It details a design approach aimed at closing this gap while targeting the early design stages of naval ships. A review of wider engineering design research has highlighted several promising models of design theory, knowledge and technology that could be usefully applied to this problem. Using these models a new Library Based approach has been proposed and developed. This Library Based approach employs decomposition and pre-calculation to create a library of sub-options that can be rapidly examined using a set of initial design requirements to develop a range of possible options. Comparison with a notional optimisation process suggests the proposed approach offers advantages for problems similar in characteristic to the selection of hullform style. The approach is then demonstrated through two example implementations which are applied to the initial design of several naval combatants including an existing design. The discussion on the proposed approach highlights its strengths and weaknesses compared to two lists of needs for ship concept design tools and also its potential to be employed in concert with other design methods, aiding the necessary decision-making that occurs early in the ship design process. The key conclusion of the research is that the gap in the selection of hullform style can be met through the application of the proposed Library Based approach. Finally, five areas of future research are recommended: exploring extensions of the approach presented able to extrapolate the contents of the library; extend the approach to provide insight into relationships and drivers; investigating alternative technologies for the library; applying parametric design tools to generate library data; and demonstrating links to other design methods.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Rapid Single Flux Quantum (RSFQ) cells are key in the design of complex and applicable RSFQ electronic circuits. These cells are low-level circuit elements that are used repeatedly to build larger, applicable RSFQ circuitry. Making these cells simple to layout and manufacture, but reliable for extensive use demands a careful development process for RSFQ cells. Cell functionality is verified through simulations, thereafter the cell is laid out in special software packages. Inductance of on-chip superconductor structures is extracted through careful modelling with numerical field solver software. A cell library has been developed by incorporating existing or published cells after further analysis and optimization, as well as developing new cells. Cells that have been adapted into the library include the Josephson transmission line (JTL), Splitter, Merger, D-Flip Flop (DFF), T-Flip Flop (TFF), NOT, AND, OR and XOR, DC-SFQ and SFQ-DC and PTL Driver and Receivers. New cells include NOR, NAND and XNOR. The cells were designed for the IPHT’s RSFQ1D 1kA/cmª and Hypres’ 4.5kA/cmª processes. The cells in the library have good bias current operating margins obtained through simulations (> ±26%). All cells have all the parameters listed in the thesis including extracted inductance values. In order to have a complete and verified RSFQ cell library, cells have been sent for fabrication at IPHT and Hypres facilities. These cells can now be tested on-chip, in the laboratory, to establish functionality and practical bias current margins. All test signal patterns and bias currents required for testing are defined to allow co-workers or collaborators to test the cells.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: "Rapid Single Flux Quantum" (RSFQ) selle is van sleutelbelang in die ontwerp van komplekse en toepaslike RSFQ elektroniese stroombane. Hierdie selle is laevlak stroombaanelemente wat herhaaldelik gebruik word om groter RSFQ bane mee te bou. Versigtige ontwikkeling is nodig om hierdie selle eenvoudig vir uitleg en vervaardiging te hou terwyl dit ook betroubaar is vir wye gebruik. Selfunksionaliteit word geverifieer deur middel van simulasies, waarna selle vir vervaardiging uitgelê word in spesiale sagtewarepakette. Induktansie van supergeleierstrukture op vervaardigde skyfies word deur versigtige modellering met behulp van numeriese veldoplossingsagteware onttrek. In hierdie tesis is ’n selbiblioteek ontwerp deur bestaande (gepubliseerde) selle verder te analiseer en optimeer, en deur nuwe selle te ontwerp om die biblioteek volledig te maak. Selle wat aangepas is vir hierdie biblioteek sluit die Josephson-Transmissielyn (JTL), Verdeler, Samevoeger, DWipkring (DFF), T-Wipkring (TFF), NIE, EN, OF en XOF, asook die DC-SFQ en SFQ-DC selle en Passiewe Transmissielyn (PTL) drywers en ontvangers in. Nuwe selle sluit die NOF, NEN en XNOF hekke in. Die selle is ontwerp en uitgelˆe vir beide IPHT se RSFQ1D 1kA/cmª en Hypres se4.5kA/cmª prosesse. Die selle in die biblioteek toon goeie voorspanningstroom-werksmarges, soos verkry deur simulasie (> ±26%). Parameters en berekende induktansies vir alle selle word in die tesis gelys vir naslaandoeleindes. Vir die daarstel van ’n volledige en geverifieerde RSFQ selbiblioteek is selontwerpe vir vervaardiging na IPHT en Hypres gestuur. Aangesien vervaardiging slegs een maal per jaar by IPHT gedoen word, is die skyfies egter nog nie beskikbaar nie. Na vervaardiging kan die skyfies egter getoets word om selfunksionaliteit in die laboratorium te meet. Ten einde hierdie toetsing vir enige medewerker te vergemaklik, word alle toetsparameters soos voorspanningstroom en intreeseinpatrone in die tesis gedefinieer.

Abstract:

Designers utilizing tools and workflows in place at The George Washington University may encountered several roadblocks, including the inability to create Design for Test (DFT) integrated circuits, inflexible pad-frames and a difficult to program logic analyzer, which records data into a proprietary output. This project demonstrated a low cost and quick time-to-market method for building and characterizing scan cells, allowing designers to easily build Design For Test (DFT) integrated circuits. A successful prototype scan cell has been manufactured and tested, utilizing a modular padframe obtained from the University of Utah. An approach to creating low-cost test harnesses has been demonstrated by converting Verilog test benches to the Arduino Wiring platform,. An algorithm and implementation for converting data captured from Agilent logic analyzers to the IEEE VCD format is presented. This work has important implications for future development of design flows, additional low-cost test harnesses and test-focused educational curriculum.

Abstract:

Fragment based drug discovery has become an important method in biomedical research. In particular, it has enabled academic researchers to develop drug-like compounds and chemical probes which can be used for target validation. Recent developments at Diamond Light Source have made X-ray crystallography a viable primary fragment screen. The hits identified by X-ray screening are in general too weak to be verified by orthogonal solution assays, yet such information is a common requirement in medicinal chemistry operations. Progressing weak hits to a potent lead series requires changes not only to the periphery, where conventional SAR operates, but also to the core of the compound. To overcome the problem, I introduce the concept of poised fragment screening. Poised fragments can be synthesised in one step from commercially available starting materials using robust, high yielding reactions. As a result, a library of analogues can be synthesised quickly and at relatively low cost. In this thesis I report the design and purchase of a 776-compound, chemically diverse poised fragment library (DSPL) for screening using X-ray crystallography, which is in regular use at Diamond. To aid researchers performing follow-up campaigns of poised hits, I developed a computational tool, XPoise, which systematically builds virtual libraries of follow-up compounds using poised reactions. Follow-up campaigns against four epigenetic proteins revealed the benefit of using poised chemistry over traditional methods such as SAR by catalogue. Weak hits were improved into lead compounds with modest potency alongside structural data. Finally, a lead series of PHIP(2) inhibitors was elaborated using bespoke organic synthesis and late stage biotransformation to build complex, chiral compounds in the search for a potent and selective chemical probe.

The development of library is like a microcosm of the evolution of human civilization. Library is a storage house for knowledge ranging from military, politics to humanistic philosophy, and from preached doctrines to scientific development. Prior to the 19th century, library buildings had been massively constructed, reflecting the continuous evolution of human civilization in sciences and humanities. The emergence of electronic resources technology in the 20th century has significant impact on librarianship. With the advancement and prevalence in computer technology and hardware equipment, it is even predicted that library will vanish in the future. However, in recent 30 years, library has not become extinct under the technological advancement, but there is a trend of construction of public libraries worldwide. Library buildings have become a symbol of urban culture and enjoy a higher cultural level. On the site of the former Taichung Library, the current Jingwu Library extends the collective memory of the libraries and include the diversified activity spaces, such as the multifunctional classroom, electronic equipment area, and meeting room, into the library. Meanwhile, the traditional reading space of the library has been rearranged into a casual and comfortable environment to create an atmosphere suitable for recreational reading. The library reviewed in this study has become the local cultural center for humanistic activities.

With the advance of process technology, the timing model in current standard cell library format becomes inaccurate when estimating the timing characteristics of circuits. In the nanometer circuit design, the non-linear effects of circuits become more and more obvious. For example, IR drop, signal integrity, etc. And in the nanometer low power circuit design, there are some low power techniques like multiple supply voltages, voltage islands, etc. The above reasons will make the current timing model become hard to maintain its accuracy and it will consume much time to characterize more sets of standard cell library to increase the accuracy. However, nowadays well-known EDA vendors have proposed new timing models called current source model to overcome above reasons and do not have to spend much time to characterize many sets of standard cell library. In this thesis, we find out the characterization flows of new timing model and add the new timing model in our standard cell library format. In the modern high tech life, the demands for portable consuming products are increasing. Meanwhile, it has to combine many kinds of functions in a product to satisfy the requirements for consumers. For example, multi-media, communication, etc. Especially, with the process technology scaling down, designers have to put many functional circuits into a chip. This will make the power consumption in the unit area become greater and the heat transformed by power consumption increases largely. Heat is a challenge to the reliability of products. Therefore, the power consumption becomes very important for these high tech consuming products. It determines the useful life of the product, the size of battery and the period of useful time. In this thesis, we propose a low power design methodology using mixed-threshold voltage with staying the speed of circuits constant. Using this technique has neither to increase additional circuits nor to change the structure of circuits to obtain the requirement of low power. We apply this methodology to the establishment of standard cell library to create a mixed-threshold voltage standard cell library.

Abstract:

abstract: Modern-day integrated circuits are very capable, often containing more than a billion transistors. For example, the Intel Ivy Bridge 4C chip has about 1.2 billion transistors on a 160 mm2 die. Designing such complex circuits requires automation. Therefore, these designs are made with the help of computer aided design (CAD) tools. A major part of this custom design flow for application specific integrated circuits (ASIC) is the design of standard cell libraries. Standard cell libraries are a collection of primitives from which the automatic place and route (APR) tools can choose a collection of cells and implement the design that is being put together. To operate efficiently, the CAD tools require multiple views of each cell in the standard cell library. This data is obtained by characterizing the standard cell libraries and compiling the results in formats that the tools can easily understand and utilize. My thesis focusses on the design and characterization of one such standard cell library in the ASAP7 7 nm predictive design kit (PDK). The complete design flow, starting from the choice of the cell architecture, design of the cell layouts and the various decisions made in that process to obtain optimum results, to the characterization of those cells using the Liberate tool provided by Cadence design systems Inc., is discussed in this thesis. The end results of the characterized library are used in the APR of a few open source register-transfer logic (RTL) projects and the efficiency of the library is demonstrated.

Along with the rapid development of information technology, content propagation becomes more diversified. A good user interface is thus very important. Web designs provide commonly used user interface. An effective web design method is an important support to enhance user interface design. Our research focuses on user interface design with web platforms. Our research team developed a transformation-based web design method. This method divides steps of web development into levels of structure transformation. In correspondence of web design requirements attach level, we provide external specification to web designers for planning various web composition to achieve overall all web designs. In this research, we designed and implemented this method in a library to be used by web developers. We also performed experiments to transform contents to web pages according to external specifications. In this way, we validate that this web design method with structure transformation can effectively achieve the goal of web designs.
