Technical Work
We develop analytical and statistical techniques for VLSI circuit design of high-performance microprocessors in IBM servers. The goals of this work are: (a) to identify performance-limiting, timing-critical circuitry and (b) to design efficient on-chip interconnections that satisfy Server Group requirements through the cooperative interactions of manual intervention and computer-aided design tools.
An analysis of performance-limiting circuitry in the POWER6 microprocessor is shown in the POWER6 paper (Figure 3) at the 2007 International Solid-State Circuits Conference.
Wire configurations for the Instruction Fetch Unit of the 1.3-GHz POWER4 microprocessor satisfied electrical and physical project requirements. The POWER4 is incorporated in Regatta Systems sold to the general public in 4Q2001 in the IBM pSeries Enterprise Server p680 and p690. My three-dimensional animations of the POWER4 chip are posted here.
Control logic macros were designed for the Instruction Unit of the 500-MHz G5 microprocessor (Summer, 1997) for IBM S/390 Division (now zSeries). Computer systems containing this chip were sold beginning in 1998.
