20100042569 | APPROXIMATION OF A CLOCK GATING FUNCTION VIA BDD PATH ELIMINATION - An approximation of a clock gating function is obtained by reducing the less probable (e.g., longest) paths of its associated binary decision diagram (“BDD”). It is assumed that clock gating is performed in cycles when the clock gating function equals one. Thus, the approximation eliminates a less probable positive (logic “1”) path in the BDD, thereby reducing the logic delay time of the BDD and the corresponding clock gating function. Given a uniform distribution of variables, i.e., the probability of a variable becoming logic “0” (negative) is equal to the probability of the variable becoming logic “1” (positive), the one or more longest positive BDD paths correspond to a less probable true-assignment of the clock gating function. Thus, by eliminating a less probable positive BDD path, the approximation error is minimized, as the on-set probability is defined by the sum of the probabilities of the positive BDD paths. | 02-18-2010 |
