From e5dcf5d5b1340b43376ef93b339015f33df5b785 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hunter Nichols Date: Tue, 30 Oct 2018 22:19:26 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Altered bitline with heuristic to have a larger delay chain for larger column muxes. Also have to alter the feasible period for functional tests to pass. --- compiler/characterizer/functional.py | 10 ++++++++- compiler/characterizer/simulation.py | 4 ++-- compiler/modules/control_logic.py | 22 ++++++++++++++----- compiler/sram_base.py | 6 ++--- .../tests/22_psram_1bank_4mux_func_test.py | 2 +- .../tests/22_psram_1bank_8mux_func_test.py | 5 +++-- .../tests/22_sram_1bank_4mux_func_test.py | 2 +- .../tests/22_sram_1bank_8mux_func_test.py | 5 +++-- technology/scn4m_subm/tech/tech.py | 2 +- 9 files changed, 40 insertions(+), 18 deletions(-) diff --git a/compiler/characterizer/functional.py b/compiler/characterizer/functional.py index d6579ab5..4bd9cf71 100644 --- a/compiler/characterizer/functional.py +++ b/compiler/characterizer/functional.py @@ -31,7 +31,15 @@ class functional(simulation): self.stored_words = {} self.write_check = [] self.read_check = [] - + + def set_spice_constants(self): + """Spice constants for functional test""" + simulation.set_spice_constants(self) + #Heuristic increase for functional period.
