碩士 === 國立交通大學 === 電子工程系所 === 96 === Physical design research in academia has been based on infrastructure developed independently, which has resulted in fragmentation problem. OpenAccess, a complete database system, is developed to solve this problem. On the other hand, with technology scaling, power becomes a very important issue. Multiple supply voltage provides an effective technique for power reduction. In this thesis, we build the OA environment and adopt OA Gear Timer as our basic infrastructure to implement MSV design methodology. The experimental results show that we can successfully generate voltage islands based on OA environment.
