About PATMOS
Background
The workshop was the eleventh in a series of international workshops having
been held in several places in Europe. PATMOS has over the years evolved
into a well established and outstanding series of open European events
on power and timing aspects of integrated circuit design. The increased
interest especially in low-power design adds further momentum to the interest
in this workshop. Despite its growth, the workshop can still be considered
as an informal but very focused conference, featuring high-level scientific
presentations together with open discussions and panel sessions in a free
and easy environment.
In the year 2001, the venue was in Yverdon-les-Bains, Switzerland,
close to the Jura mountains, heart of the swiss watch making industry.
Scope
The objective of this workshop is to provide a forum to discuss and investigate
the emerging problems in the design methodologies and CAD-tools for the
new generation of IC technologies. A major emphasis of the technical program
is on speed and low-power aspects with particular regard to modeling, characterisation,
design, and architectures. The scope of the workshop includes, but is not
limited to design and CAD aspects of:
-
Low Power design: high perfomance low power systems, ultra low power
systems, special architectures
-
Modeling and synthesis: timing, power, low-voltage, interconnect,
crosstalk
-
Timing design: clocking, sychronization, asychronous and self timed
systems, adiabatic switching
-
Optimization: low voltage low power logic families, logic parallelization,
pipelining, fast low power arithmetic
-
Physical design: module generation, library optimization and characterization,
area estimation
-
Physical test and characterisation: low VT low voltage
process, SOI, IDDQ, models and parameter extraction, experimental
design for process control
-
Design methods and CAD tools: for low voltage low power design,
high speed circuits
-
Trade-offs between devices, architectures and technologies, bench
mark comparison.
