Multiscale thermal reduced order model for transient IC analysis
In one embodiment, several reduced order models (ROMs), each at a different scale, are developed to create a multiscale ROM for a given system, which can include one or more integrated circuits (ICs), for simulating thermal responses (e.g., heating in the ICs and the system) as a result of usage scenarios of the IC and system (in which power is applied on the IC and in the system) over time. An IC, package and system can be thermally characterized to determine transient temperature response to a power source in each IC; this characterization can use simulations of the power source to simulate temperature responses at points in the IC, package and system, and these responses provide a set of thermal training data. An algorithm generates a linear time-invariant (LTI) state-space thermal macromodel or ROM at each of the different scales on-chip and in system, from the set of thermal step response training data, and combines them into a multiscale ROM, which can be distributed and solved on many CPUs. When the multiscale ROM is used, power accounting can be used across the scales to conserve power. On IC symmetry and inverse heat transfer properties can be used to reduce the amount of thermal characterization operations.

A method is disclosed for augmenting the SBR model used in EM field simulation by modeling the specular coherent and diffuse incoherent components of the field scattered by rough surfaces using statistical characteristics of surface roughness. For each projected ray-tube footprint, the magnitude of the coherent radiated field is attenuated with a scalar factor, while the incoherent radiated field is modulated by a random magnitude and phase. Both corrections are based on the statistical characteristics of surface roughness. Multiplying the incoherent field with a randomly generated phase renders it in a mathematically coherent form, which allows the method to generate a statistically viable instance of the total (i.e. coherent plus incoherent) field scattered by a rough surface. The results reproduce the field and power statistics (i.e. mean and variance) observed from direct SBR simulations using an ensemble of explicitly rendered rough surface geometry models, with a significant reduction in computation.

Methods, systems and media for simulating or analyzing voltage drops in a power distribution network can use an incremental approach to define a portion of a design around a victim to capture a sufficient collection of aggressors that cause appreciable voltage drop on the victim, and then an incremental simulation of just the portion can be performed rather than computing simulated voltage drops across the entire design. This approach can be both computationally efficient and can limit the size of the data used in simulating dynamic voltage drops in the power distribution network. Multiple different portions can be simulated separately in separate processing cores or elements. In one embodiment, a system can provide options of user selected constraints for the simulation to provide better accuracy or use less memory. Better accuracy will normally use a larger set of aggressors for each victim at the expense of using more memory.

Methods, systems and media for simulating or analyzing voltage drops in a power distribution network can use an incremental approach to define a portion of a design around a victim to capture a sufficient collection of aggressors that cause appreciable voltage drop on the victim, and then an incremental simulation of just the portion can be performed rather than computing simulated voltage drops across the entire design. This approach can be both computationally efficient and can limit the size of the data used in simulating dynamic voltage drops in the power distribution network. Multiple different portions can be simulated separately in separate processing cores or elements. In one embodiment, a system can provide options of user selected constraints for the simulation to provide better accuracy or use less memory. Better accuracy will normally use a larger set of aggressors for each victim at the expense of using more memory.
