Software Industry’s Secret of Success standard µproc., memory TTL 2007 1967 1987 LSI, MSI reconfigurable 1957 ASICs, accel’s 1977 1997 custom The Impact of Makimoto’s Paradigm Shifts Dr. Makimoto: FPL 2000 keynote Procedural personalization via RAM-based Machine Paradigm structural personalization: RAM-based before run time Personalization (CAD) before fabrication 4

  5. Makimoto’s 3rd wave EDA industry paradigm switching every 7 years [Hartenstein] 1999 (Co-) Compilation: data-stream-based DPAs [Keutzer / Newton] McKinsey Curves 1992 Synthesis (HDLs): Cadence, Synopsys ... 1985 Schematics entry: Daisy, Mentor, Valid ... 1978 Transistor entry: Applicon, Calma, CV ... The next EDA Industry Revolution “The Programmable System-on-a-Chip is the next wave“ Von Neumann does not support Morphware: 5

  6. Ubiquitous embedded systems Embedded systems means: • hardware/ software co-design • configware / software co-design • hardware / configware/ software co-design 20 billion µprocessors (2001) > 90% in embedded systems 10 times more programmers will write embedded applications than computer software by 2010 That’s where our graduates will go 6

  7. partitioning Software & Hardw/Configw Embedded Systems Requirement:Hardware/Configware and Software as Alternatives Algorithm Hardw/Configw only Software only Hardware, Configware Software 7

  10. Configware and EDA as the Key Enabler • Growing no. of independent configware houses (soft IP core vendors) and design services provide libraries of "pre-fabricated" re-usable IP cores • Emerging separate EDA software market -FPGA synthesis [2001: Dataquest]: • Synplicity 57%, • Mentor 37%, • Synopsys 7% 10

  15. Antimatter of Computing is available • Using FPGAs (fine grain morphware) has been just Logic Synthesis on a strange platform • Coarse Grain rDPAs (Reconfigurable Computing): a fundamental Paradigm Shift • up several abstraction levels • Data-stream-based Computing 15

  17. The anti universe • Paul Dirac predicted a complete anti universe consisting of antimatter • “There are regions in the universe, which consist of antimatter ..... • .... But there are asymmetries” • when a particle hits its antiparticle, both are converted into energy: Annihilation • We are not aware, that there is a new area in computing sciences , which consists of antimatter of computing • Reconfigurable Computing is made from this antimatter: data-stream-based computing 17

  18. hydrogen anti hydrogen • 1954: new accelerators: cyclotron, like Berkeley‘s Bevatron • 1955 Owen Chamberlain et al. create anti proton on Bevatron • 1995: hydrogen anti atom created at CERN – by forcing positron and anti proton to merge by very low energy. anti particles • 1928: Paul Dirac: „there should be an anti electron having positive charge“ (Nobel price 1933) • 1932: Carl David Anderson detected this „positron“ in cosmic radiation (Nobel price 1936) • 1956: anti neutron created on Bevatron • 1965: creation of a deuterium anti nucleus at CERN 18

  38. What is the trend ? • Data-stream-based Computing is heading for mainstream • 1979 „data streams“ (Kung / Leiserson) • 1997 SCCC (LANL) Streams-C Configurabble Computing • SCORE (UCB) Stream Computations Organized for Reconfigurable Execution • ASPRC (UCB) Adapting Software Pipelining for Reconfigurable Computing • 2000 Bee (UCB), ... • Most stream-based multimedia systems, etc. • Many other areas .... • vN is needed for embedded systems, OS, compilers, Sauerkraut software, non-performance-critical applications, others …. • vN is obsolete for massive parallelism, except some special application areas • Anti machine is the way to go for massive parallelism, also data-intensive applications • Morphware is the way for high performance with short product life cycles, unstable standards 38

  39. courses / embedded tutorials: • DATE. Munich, 2001 • ASP-DAC, Yokohama, 2001 • SBCCI, Brasilia, 2001 • languages full day courses: Univ. Montpellier 1998 Nokia / Univ. Tampere, Finland, 2002 CNRS Paris France, 2002 UnB, Brasilia, 2002 • hw / sw partitioning methodology • compilation techniques • 10 keynotes 2001 / 2002 • 5 invited talks 2001 / 2002 • anti architectural resources • sequencing methodology: hw & sw Conclusion: all knowledge needed is available • machine paradigm • parallel memory IP core and module generator vendors • anything else needed 39

  40. this dichotomy is completely ignored by our CS curricula computing computing systolic in space in time arrays etc. migration by re-timing and other transformations Main problems to be solved • Lack of qualified users and implementers • Each programmer should have qualified awareness on dichotomy and morphware • curricular innovations are urgently needed 40

  41. procedural structural Annihilation? software person hardware person CS education ..... Configware / Software Co-Design? Hardware / Software Co-Design? 41

  42. - - + crash + + - Annihilation? avoidable by careful methodology 42

  43. … is based on the Submarine Model Algorithm Software procedural high level Programming Language Brain usage: procedural-only Assembly Language Hardware invisible: under the surface Hardware However, current CS Education …. This model disables ... Software Faculty Colleagues shy away from the Paradigm Shift: 43 their Brain hurts? - can’t be: this Half has been amputated

  44. procedural structural partitioning Brain Usage: both Hemispheres Hardware and Software as Alternatives Algorithm Hardw/Configw only Software only Software & Hardw/Configw Hardware, Configware Software 44

  45. Hardware (procedural) structurally disabled … completely disabled to cope with solutions other than software only The Dominance of the Submarine Model ... ... indicates, that our CS education system produces zillions of mentally disabled Persons It‘s time to attack the software faculty dictatorship. Get involved! 45

  46. Antimatter Search Antimatter Search ? in EE & CS we do not need to search 46
