READ ME for SOBOL QUASI RANDOM NUMBER GENERATOR

********************************************************************
Quasi Random Number Generator
Abishek Ramdas
********************************************************************
Single threaded implementation
File name - quasi_rand_gen_modification.c

How to run -
at the command prompt

$gcc quasi_rand_gen_modification.c (return)
$./a.out (return)

Output:
Requests:  Number of patterns to be generated and Dimensions
File - QRNG_Patterns_sngl_thrd.txt in the same folder which contains the C file.

********************************************************************
Multiple threaded implementation
File name - quasi_rand_gen_pthreads.c

How to run -
at the command prompt

$gcc -pthread quasi_rand_gen_modification.c (return)
$./a.out (return)

Output:
Requests:  Number of patterns to be generated, Dimensions and Number of cores
File - QRNG_Patterns_pthreads.txt in the same folder which contains the C
file.

********************************************************************
Testing Driver

In the linux system there is a binary called diff

Usage : diff filename1 filename2 (return)

Result : gives the differnce between the two files. gives no output if the two files are the same.

syntax
$diff QRNG_Patterns_sngl_thrd.txt QRNG_Patterns_pthreads.txt

*********************************************************************
Additional information
1. Make sure the number the same number of patterns are generated for single threaded and multi threaded version.
2. Make sure the dimensions provided are also the same.
3. A sleep signal is provided for 2 seconds before the output is printed on the screen in the multi threaded part. so if it looks like it hanged please wait.

Generating 16k ROM using Xilinx IP COREGEN and simulating it in modelsim

The instruction ROM is an IP Core. so before interfacing with the open8, it has to be generated. The method of generating and simulating a ROM Xilinx IP Core is described here. FIND ALL THE FILES HERE 1. app.coe (the initialization file) 2. rom_16k_core.vhd 3. rom_16k_core.vho 4. rom_16k_core.xco 5. top_level.vhd 6. do_memgen.do Creation of the ROM Xilinx 10.1 1. open ISE 2. create a new project 3. tools -> core generator(12.1) (or right click on the device and add a new file 10.1) 4. In the IP catalog -> Memory and storage elements -> RAM and ROM 5. double click on block memory generator, A new window opens 6. In the new window select single port ROM click next, Write first mode 7. Select Read Width = 8 and Read Depth = 16384 for 16K ROM -> next 8. The output ports are unregistered, load initialization COE if required -> next 9. No need to use the Reset pin -> next 10. Generate. (takes a little time then shows successfully generated) This

Setting up atalanta ATPG to work on Linux

Atalanta is an ATPG tool that is used to generate test patterns for combinational circuits. atalanta is a windows executable file. I am using Atalanta ATPG tool to generate the test patterns required for generating the Transition fault Test patterns RUNNING ATALANTA (LINUX) You need to have WINE installed to run windows executable binary. Created a symbolic link in the usr/bin to the atalanta.exe, name of the link s atalanta. (not necessary if you do not have root privilages) chmod u+x /place/atalanta/atalanta.exe cd /usr/bin sudo ln -s /place/atalanta/atalanta.exe ./atalanta COMMAND TO RUN ATALANTA atalanta [option] filename //put this in a shell script
