Aims of the Contest
As a unique feature of ASP-DAC 2024, the University LSI Design Contest will be held. The aim of the Contest is to encourage education and research on VLSI design at universities and other educational organizations. We solicit designs that fit in one or more of the following categories:
(1) Designed, and actually implemented on chips in universities or other educational organizations during the last two years;
(2) Designs that report actual measurements from implementations;
(3) Innovative design prototypes.
Interesting or excellent designs will be honored by providing the opportunities for presentation at a special session of the conference. The awards will be awarded for some of the outstanding designs presented at the conference.
Areas of Design
Application areas or types of circuits of the original LSI circuit designs include (but are not limited to): (1) Analog, RF and Mixed-Signal Circuits, (2) Digital Signal Processing, (3) Microprocessors, (4) Custom ASIC.
Submission of Design Descriptions
A camera-ready summary is requested to be prepared within 2 pages including figures, tables, and references. It is
strongly recommended that measured experimental results and a chip micrograph are included in the summary. Please do not submit the same paper as a regular paper.
- Deadline for summary: 5 PM AOE (Anywhere on Earth) July 30 (Sun) 7 PM AOE (Anywhere on Earth) August 4 (Fri), 2023.
- Notification of acceptance: Sep,15 (Fri),2023
- Deadline for camera-ready: 5 PM AOE (Anywhere on Earth) Nov,10 (Fri),2023
Review
- Submitted designs will be reviewed by the Design Contest Committee in a process similar to the review process for the technical papers. The following criteria will be applied in the selection of designs:
- (1) Novelty of application, algorithm, architecture, design, measurement, etc.
- (2) Quality of design and implementation.
- (3) Performance of the design.
- Interesting or excellent designs selected will be presented at a special session of the conference.
Presentation
An author of each selected design will be required to make a short presentation at a special session of ASP-DAC 2024. Each design to be presented will be included in the program book (only the design name), but not in the conference proceedings.
Author Registration
The author is required to undergo regular registration. Each registration can cover up to two UDC papers.
