相关的成本核算人员需要在整个建筑行业的全部施工过程中对于每一步所需要的经费进行核算。
做好合理规划与资金投用的方向减少施工中不必要的成本损失。
施工过程中的成本核算,不仅能提高资金的使用效率,同时也能减少资金的浪费做到监督资金使用动向的作用,以此来保障企业的合理收入。
不仅要做好成本的核算,还应该从提高建筑物的质量入手,提升建筑物的质量,使建筑既符合标准,又符合大众的审美。
1.2保障建筑施工质量在建筑行业中,施工项目的成本核算能够更好地保障建筑物的质量。
在整个施工过程中,成本核算规划了在所有施工内容的前提下做出的资金核算。
成本核算大致地规划好了整个施工项目所需要用到的金额数目,在实际的施工操作中也会进行稍微调整。
比如,在实际的施工操作中遇到了预算金额不够的情况就很容易导致施工项目无法按照计划进行下去。
如果在实际的施工过程中没有用完规划好的金额数目,就很容易导致相关的单位出现过度投资的现象。
所以在整个工程项目进行成本核算的工作是非常有必要的,不仅能够保障整个项目顺利进行,而且还能最大限度地减少金额的损失,提高建筑物的质量,保障施工效果。
1.3保障建筑工程正常开展施工项目的成本核算在一定程度上也能够为建筑工程开展进度提供一定的保障。
有了成本的核算就能够提前掌握好施工的进度,确保每一步的施工内容都能够按照计划来进行。
如果开工前的成本核算阶段没有做到位,在实际的施工操作过程中出现资金不足引发安全问题。
如某些施工项目在动工的时候出现了成本预算不足的情况,就很有可能会导致建筑过程中所使用的建筑材料质摘要 建筑工程的造价是建筑工程行业中不可缺少的组成部分,这项工作为工程建筑施工过程中的成本计算和建筑物质量提供保障。
文章围绕建筑工程造价控制工作,阐述了成本核算的意义,论证了施工项目成本核算的关键问题,并对有效的成本核算措施进行分析、评价,以期为相关工作提供参考。

The illumination calculation method,commonly called Point-To-Point,is usually used in Lighting Design and is indicated to external places.Funded in this technique,it is possible to calculate the illumination level in each point of interest in a determinate work surface plan of study[2]. This method in general requires the use of computational applications to calculate a matrix of points in a determinate area plan,providing each point luminance values as result. The scalarfield visualization in3D is applied to Lighting Design through the graphic representation of the luminance field.Recently,some applications using Virtual Reality has proved to be a useful alternative for this kind of design application[3].Therefore,it is possible to develop algorithms to process and displayfields of illumination in a3D virtual environment for any required lighting system[4].An efficient lighting design requires good visibility and color reproduction,power economy,reduce the maintenance costs and must considerate to get lower market expends to the adopted solution.In luminaire equipment,illumination intensity emitted in a determinate point can be calculated by an algorithm routine using the IES(Illuminating Engineering Society)file format created for the electronic transfer of photometric data.It has been widely used by many lighting manufacturers and is one of the industry standards in photometric data distribution. Genetic algorithms[5]are a class of search techniques that use the mechanics of natural selection and genetics to conduct a global search of a solution space and constitute in an effi-cient optimization environment for the Design Optimization procedures[6],[7].This paper proposes a Genetic Algorithm to optimize light-ing design parameters integrated with a Computer Aided Design(CAD)application.Genetic Algorithm offers an opti-mization approach to perform a search to achieve better design solutions,and proposed CAD tool uses innovative concepts of Information Visualization within virtual environments.II.M ETHODSA.Design ParametersDuring the process of lighting design,an engineer needs to evaluate the illumination requirements.These requirements are important to specify the uniformity of illumination levels,glare levels,index of color reproduction,and color temperature.This methodology involves the following items:a Survey of activities of the local,physical dimensionsof the layout,materials used and the characteristicsof the grid in place(initial data of the project);b Determination of the goals of lighting and effects tobe achieved;c Choice of lamp types;d Choice offixtures(luminaire);e Analysis of the factors influencing the quality ofenlightenment(IRC and Color Temperature);f Calculation of general lighting;g Calculation of control;2010 9th IEEE/IAS International Conference on Industry Applications- INDUSCON 2010 -978-1-4244-8010-4/10/$26.00 ©2010 IEEEh Distribution of light;i Definition of points of light;j Calculation of directional lighting;k Evaluation of energy consumption;l Assessment of costs;m Calculation of profitability.In this paper,we propose to focus only on items[a],[c], [d],[f],and[h]as input parameters for the Genetic Algorithm (GA)application described in section II-D.The GAsfitness function deals with items[j],[k],and[l],automatically.The Genetic Algorithm generates the light source positions and the best pair of lamp type and the corresponding luminaire.B.Directed Lighting MethodThe directed lighting method(or point-to-point method) is the most often used method for illumination calculation in external areas[8]and also recommended by Illuminating Engineering Society of North America(IESNA).With this method,we obtain the luminance performed by one or more light sources,at any desired point or a mesh of dots.A light source is defined by the set of a luminaire and itsfixed lamps.A luminarie distributes,filters or converts the light emitted by one or more lamps.Part of the luminousflux emitted by the lamps is absorbed by the luminaire and does not contribute to the ambient lighting.Theflow balance is spent above and below a horizontal plane passing through the center of the luminaire.The beams of light irradiated directly on the work plan are the main contributors to the luminance.For each luminarie,the photometric data used for calculating luminance are obtained by their respective IESfiles(Illuminating En-gineering Society Standard),a international standard used in many existing softwares.The total luminance,given by adding the contributions of each light source,is represented by(1):E total=Ni=1E i(1)where:E i=luminance of the source i;N=number of light sources.The luminance E i,held by each light source individually, is given by(2)and shown by Figure1:E i=I P i·cosγd2(2)where:I P i=intensity of the light source i toward the point P;γ=angle between normal surface and direction of the considered point P;d=distance between the light source and the point P.The intensity emitted by a light source in a certain direction is given by the photometric distribution of the light source and varies for each type of luminaire and lamp used.The light distribution of a light source is obtained through laboratory measurements and is usually provided by the manufacturer in different forms:tables,diagrams,graphs or digitalfiles.Fig.1:Arrangement of a lamp:L=installation point,d= distance from the point of light,P=point of interest, n= normal to the plane,γ=angle between the vector near straight LP.The use of digitized curves and photometric standard(IES) allows automation for consulting the light intensity during calculations,which facilitates the process and makes it faster and more dynamic than when done manually.The point-to-point method takes as input the initial configu-ration of lighting(light sources with their position and height inside work plan environment)and provides output results that contain luminance values of each point of the mesh(2D or 3D).The average level of illumination is given by(3).It is calculated to allow a comparative value.E average=F util·F lux·N lamp·N lumW·D plum(3) where:E average=luminance average;F util=Utilization Fac-tor of the used luminaries(manufacturer);F lux=Luminous flow emitted by each lamp;N lamp=Number of Lamps per Luminary;N lum=Number offixtures used in the algorithm; W=Width of the Environment to be Enlightened;D plum= Distance between poles or luminariesC.Photometric CurveThe IESfile allows the creation of photometric curves,as shown in Figure2,that are polar diagram representations of light energy propagation provided by a lamp/luminary set. These diagrams usually provide values of light energy in discrete angles increment and,if is necessary,it is possible to calculate a value for an intermediate angle using an interpo-lation criteria.D.The Genetic Algorithm ImplementationA genetic algorithm(GA)is a stochastic search technique that,for a given problem,searches a solution space for a near-optimal solution.This search is done in a fashion inspired by Darwinian Evolution.Within a population of possible solutions,they could breed among themselves regarding their respectivefitness,forming new solutions that will belong to new generations.There will be evolution of possible solutions for many generations.When the algorithm reaches its end,the best solution found is returned.Fig.2:Photometric curve of the lamp HLF432SONT400W(Phillips)Fig.3:Chromosome representationGAs are often applied as a global optimization problemsolver.More information about GA can be found at Mitchell,1999[5],among other authors.To implement a GA,three mainsubjects are required:definition of the chromosome structure,definition of a Fitness Function to evaluate possible solutionsand to choose strategic genetic operators.1)Chromosomes:A chromosome is composed by variousgenes and represents a solution to a problem.Each generepresents a variable of the proposed problem.The valueassumed by each gene is called an allele.The best solution isused to the posterior CAD drawing and results.From the left to right,thefirst gene is an id that referees toa textfile which describes all the information about the typeof light associated with a lamp,the power intensity,the marketcost and the maintenance cost.The second gene is an id thatrepresents the type of pole(material composition),its heightand cost for installation and maintenance.Each of the next3gene sets represents the pole coordinates,the direction of the luminaire focus and its slope,as can beseen in Figure3.In this chromosome,n poles are represented. The luminaire direction(δ)varies by45o intervals,thusrunning the cardinal points:0o to East,45o to Northeast, 90o North,and so on.The luminaire slope(ζ)varies in15o intervals,with the angle of0o as the reference that indicates theluminaire is parallel to the work plan,i.e.,its focus coincideswith a perpendicular line to the plane.When tilted in45o,its preconfigured maximum tilt,the luminaire focus will becoincident with a45o line to the plane.These angles are shownin Figure4.It is important to note that in this implementation,the distance between the actual position of the luminaire andthe base of the corresponding pole(ΔdL)tends to zero,since Fig.4:Schematic of the guidelines: N=normal to the plane,γ=angle between the vector N and the line LP,ζ=slope of the light,δ=direction of the light,ΔdL tends to zero,h= height of the lamp(post),θ=vertical angle andα=horizontal angle,both for calculation of illuminancewe consider thefixing point of the luminaire with the same coordinate of the pole in the x-y plane.2)Fitness function:Thefitness function deals with each chromosome of the population evaluating how good is it as a possible solution.Thefitness function evaluates an illuminance matrix to the corresponding horizontal work plan,using the Point-To-Point method applying(2).Using average level of illumination,by applying(3),the function determines the shadow area given by the light source positions presented in each chromossome. Using the illuminance matrix and the average illumination level,the function also determines the over-illuminated area. The energy consumption and assessment of costs given by the chromosome are also calculated.These four evaluated features(shadow area,over-illuminated area,energy consumption,and assessment of costs)are the output results of thefitness function.A Paretos multi-objective strategy[9],[10]is then applied to optimize these parameters.3)Genetic Operators:The following operators were im-plemented in the system:ElitismNew generations will grant10%of the last generation best individuals to be reproduced.Crossover(Recombination)The tournament selection method was used with10%of the population.A canonical crossover was implemented in a way to respect the integrity of a light source entity.For pole coordinates,the Radcliff crossover operator was used. MutationIf the chosen gene for mutation is thefirst or the second one,then a different one is randomly chosen to replace it.If the chosen one belongs to a light source entity,a Gaussian mutation operator is applied,respecting minimum and maximum respective values.Fig.5:Thefigures represent the luminousflux due to impact all the lamp at a givenpointFig.6:Colors that are used to conceptualize the quantized points in the work planrmation VisualizationWith the objective to present the data for calculating illumi-nance in a simplified context and adequately informative,this work uses Information Visualization techniques[11].Figure5shows one area in which each point is represented by its luminance level quantized and displayed in different col-ors that indicate comparative intervals with a value previously calculated in(3).The thematizing colors limits are shown in Figure6(Por-tuguese version,’Acima’means Above and’Entre’means Between),where the value E i is compared to the value E average and colors are presented in accordance with the percentage of tracks comparison.Thus it is possible that the engineer has total clarity that every point is seen a defined light level and presented by the text.This information presented in colors,provide to the designer the information of light or dark compared to the average expected and recommended by the lighting standard. This type of presentation intends to apply the concept of Graphic Excellence,i.e.,communication of complex ideas clearly to maximize the efficiency of the engineer to the lighting design.Looking at Figure7,the yellow dots have a luminance above200%of recommended average(20Lux),representing a degree of excess which can be optimized to provideenergy Fig.7:Proposal Lighting poles calculated to3meters in height and Pressure Sodium Lamps70w viewed in3DFig.8:Parking lot80x10m street,the red area(1x80m each one)indicates where you can have polessavings.The red dots represent the level below50%of recom-mended average,which can mean points of sub dimensioning. Below,it is highlighted the following features found in the application for a proposed future work for feature comparison with other similar applications:•Allows the use of3D meshes;•Allows simultaneous viewing of3D CAD models and field luminance in a single environment;•Allows navigation and iteration;•Views by different techniques of scientific Visualization (or Information Visualization).Due to these aspects,the program proved effective in plan-ning the lighting to provide a method of viewing information in a simplified and intuitive design engineers allowing for the reduction process and also facilitating the decision-making to design better projects.Besides,by exploring Virtual Reality techniques,the system allows an engineer to immerse and navigate in the virtual environment with the feeling that he is actually in thefield with different views.This helps the user to configurate and to test different design alternatives.III.R ESULTSTo understand the feasibility of this project,were used a traffic street,in a parking lot[12],as it can be seen in Figure8. To this street,we consider a minimum illumination of20lux and only1%of acceptable shadow area(less than20lux incident).To set up the Genetic Algorithm,we use a population of 300individuals and50generations by each number of poles. We considered only6models of luminaries&lamps:•HLF432—SONT400W;•HLF432—HPLN250W;TABLE I:Processing time comparison Parking Lot street Handball blockVariables database 6light sources4highs of poles14light sources4highs of poles positioning area:160m2positioning area:256m2 lighting area:800m2lighting area:1056m2Generationsby eachnumber ofpoles5010Total timedemanded forsolution212hours4hours•MWF230/150A/47.5—MHN-TD150W;•SWF23570SY—SON-T70W;•MRP822POS.16/19—HPI/T250W;•SRC612—HPI/T400W.The poles used were those of3m,5m,10m and15m-high.The implemented application run on a PC with3Gb DDR2of RAM and Intel Core2Quad Q8200processor.It took about212hours to reach the solution we can see in Table I. To designing our hypothetical street problem,there are at least5variables to be exchanged in searching efforts(meaning a1-pole solution).This will increase by3for each new pole. So,a3-pole solution will require from GA implementation to search inside an11-dimensional solution space.The number of individuals and generations adopted were really insufficient to reach a near-by optimum solution.So,the algorithm moves on,adding a new pole to the probable solution.In this way,a3-pole solution should be expected for our problem,instead the6-pole solution reached by GA.Figure9a presents one of the early generations andfigure9b the results after300generations(50for each new pole added to solution). As we can see,the best solution tended to be found among the first randomly chosen individual generation.Genetic operators are insufficient to alter this behavior,as we can see in Mean Fitness curve(figure9),due to the small range of generations presented.Another experiment was done,with a handball block chosen the same one used by Baade[13].This time,we used a database with14sets of luminaire&lamps and4different highs for poles.The run of10generations for each number of poles exceeded4hours of processing.Because of this huge dimensionality,the GA parameters used were not enough for its conversion to an acceptable solution,as expected.To emphasize the necessity of faster processing alternatives, a processing time comparison of reported experiments can be found at Table I.It is necessary to improve thefitness function calculation and speed up the processing to enable larger number of individuals and generations.IV.C ONCLUSIONA Genetic algorithm shows itself as a powerful tool to general design optimization.One of its main issues is to(a)One of the early generations(b)Result after300generationsFig.9:Experiment with a parking lot street:10m wide,80m long,sidewalk with1m of service width and2m passage width carefully project afitness function that covers all aspects of the problem and enables thefinding of a near-optimum solution. Another main issue is the correct representation of a solution, here represented by the chromosome.Whereas this initial work revealed possibilities of GA to handle lighting design problems,there are many improvements to be putational costs reduction for these high dimensionality types of problem is our main quest,and is still under development.Already previewed solutions include the use of faster computers on processing phase,and the determination of better heuristics to cover all the nuances of lighting design problem,including complexities inherent to required calculations.For future works are proposed:•Implement new genetic operators or reformulate used ones,to increase the ability to search within the solution space of high dimensionality.•Understand the feasibility of other programming lan-guages to enable this application for a high performance computer cluster.•Feasibility study for incorporation of this application to the one developed for AutoCAD that uses Information Visualization technology.R EFERENCES[1] A.L.Silva and A.Cardoso and mounier Jr,“Using GeometricConstraints to Support Virtual Electrical Installation”,in VIII Symposium on Virtual Reality,Belem,2006.[2]V.A.Moreira,Iluminac¸˜a o El´e trica,S˜a o Paulo,Brazil:Edgar Bl¨u cherLtda,1999.[3]J.Leng,“Scientific examples of Virtual Reality and visualization ap-plications”,in UKHEC–UK High Performance Computing,pp.1–13, 2001.[4]T.M.Buriol and M.F.Miranda and S.Scheer and G.S.Tows and D.F.Zandon´a,“Processamento e Visualizac¸˜a o de Campos de Iluminˆa nciasUtilizando VRML e Integrac¸˜a o com CAD3D”,in Anais do Simp´o sio Brasileiro de Realidade Virtual,v.1,pp.157–169,2006.[5]M.Mitchell,An Introduction to Genetic Algorithms,5th edition,London,England:MIT Press,1999,ISBN0262631857.[6]H.Xu and Y.Ding,“Optimizing Method for Analog Circuit DesignUsing Adaptive Immune Genetic Algorithm”,in Fourth International Conference on Frontier of Computer Science and Technology,pp.359–363,2009.[7]R.Ganjehmarzy and M.Davoody,“Optimization of Circular RingMicrostrip Antenna Using Genetic Algorithm”,in Communication Net-works and Services Research Conference,pp.222–227,2008.[8] D.L.Marinoski and F.S.Westphal and mbert,“Desenvolvimentode um algoritmo de c´a lculo luminot´e cnico para ambientes internos atrav´e s do m´e todo ponto-a-ponto”,in Anais do ENCAC-COTEDI,pp.1066–1073,2003.[9]K.Deb and A.Pratap and S.Agarwal and T.Meyarivan,“A fast andelitist multiobjective genetic algorithm:NSGA-II”,in IEEE Transactions on Evolutionary Computation,v.6,n.2,pp.182–197,apr2002.

However, LTE’s complex, evolved archi-tecture introduces new challenges in designing and testing network and user equipment. The commercial success of LTE will depend in part on the ability of all devices to work as speciied. One of the particular challenges at the air interface will be power management during signal transmission.In a digital communication system such as LTE, the power that leaks from a transmitted signal into adjacent channels can interfere with transmissions in the neighboring channels and impair system performance. The adjacent channel leakage-power ratio (ACLR) test veriies that system transmitters are performing within speciied limits. This critical yet complex transmitter test can be made quickly and accurately using modern signal analyzers such as the Keysight Technologies, Inc. X-Series (PXA/MXA/EXA) signal analyzers with LTE measurement software and signal generators such as the Keysight MXG signal generator with LTEsignal creation software.Challenges of LTE transmitter designLTE product development is underway, and RF engineers are tackling the many design and measurement challenges this complex technology presents. LTE requires support for six channel bandwidths (from 1.4 to 20 MHz), different transmission schemes for the downlink and the uplink (OFDMA and SC-FDMA), two transmission modes (FDD and TDD), and multiple antenna techniques (MIMO spatial multiplexing, diversity, beamsteering). As a result of LTE’s lexible transmission schemes, the physical channel coniguration has a large impact on RF performance—much greater than in current CDMA-based systems. With performance targets set exceptionally high for LTE, engineers have to make careful design tradeoffs to cover each criti-cal part of the radio transmitter chain.One important aspect of transmitter design is the need to minimize unwanted emissions. Because LTE will be deployed in the same frequency bands as W-CDMA and other legacy cellular technologies, the 3GPP speciications regulate emissions to minimize interference and ensure compatibility between the different radio systems. The primary concern is control of spurious emissions, which can occur at any frequency. In this respect LTE is similar to other radio systems. However, new challenges arise at the band edges, where the transmitted signal must comply with rigorous power leakage requirements. With LTE supporting chan-nel bandwidths up to 20 MHz, and with many bands too narrow to support more than a few channels, a large proportion of the LTE channels will be at the edge of the band.Controlling transmitter performance at the edge of the band requires a design with iltering to attenuate out-of-band emissions without affecting in-channel performance. Factors such as cost, power eficiencies, physical size, and location in the transmitter block diagram are also important considerations. Ultimately the LTE transmitter must meet all speciied limits for unwanted emissions, including limits on the amount of power that leaks into adjacent channels, as deined by ACLR.ACLR test requirements ACLR is a key transmitter characteristic included in the LTE RF transmitterconformance tests (Table 1). These tests verify that minimum requirements arebeing met in the base station (eNB) and user equipment (UE). Most of the LTEconformance tests for out-of-band emissions are similar in scope and purposeto those for W-CDMA and should look familiar. However, while W-CDMA speci-fies a root-raised cosine (RRC) filter for making transmitter measurements, noequivalent filter is defined for LTE. Thus different filter implementations canbe used for LTE transmitter testing to optimize either in-channel performance,resulting in improved error vector magnitude, or out-of-channel performance,resulting in better adjacent channel power characteristics.Table 1. Conformance tests for RF transmitters (from 3GPP TS 36.141 [1] and 36.521-1 [2]) Array ArrayGiven the extensive number of complex transmitter configurations that canbe used to test transmitter performance, LTE specifies a series of downlinksignal configurations known as E-UTRA test models (E-TM) for testing theeNB. These test models are grouped into three classes: E-TM1, E-TM2, andE-TM3. The first and third classes are further subdivided into E-TM1.1, E-TM1.2,E-TM3.1, E-TM3.2, and E-TM3.3 (Table 2). Note that the “E” in E-UTRA stands for“enhanced” and designates LTE UMTS terrestrial radio access, whereas UTRAwithout the “E” refers to W-CDMA.ACLR test requirements (continued)For UE testing, transmitter tests are carried out using the reference measurement channels (RMC) specified for eNB receiver testing. The ACLR requirement for the UE is not as stringent as it is for the eNB, so our focus will be on the latter.Table 2. E-UTRA test models (from 3GPP TS 36.141 [1])The 3GPP specifications for LTE define ACLR as the ratio of the filtered mean power centered on the assigned channel frequency to the filtered mean power centered on an adjacent channel frequency. Minimum ACLR conformance requirements for the eNB are given for two scenarios: for adjacent E-UTRA (LTE) channel carriers of the same bandwidth, E-UTRAACLR1, and for the UTRA (W-CDMA) adjacent and alternate channel carriers, UTRAACLR1and UTRAACLR2, respectively.Different limits and measurement filters are specified for E-UTRA and UTRA adja-cent channels, and are provided for both paired spectrum (FDD) operation and unpaired spectrum (TDD) operation. The E-UTRA channels are measured using a square measurement filter, while UTRA channels are measured using an RRC filter with a roll-off factor of = 0.22 and a bandwidth equal to the chip rate, whichis 3.84 MHz in the example of paired spectrum operation shown in Figure 1.Figure 1. Measurement filters forACLR measurements ACLR limits definedfor adjacent E-UTRA carriers ACLR limits definedfor adjacentUTRA carriersACLR test requirements (continued)ACLR test requirements for the eNB including paired and unpaired spectrum operation are summarized in Table 3. As of the September 2009 specification release, the ACLR test cases for the UE were not fully complete. However, the UE test procedure is essentially the same as that used for the base station.Table 3. ACLR base station conformance test requirements (from 3GPP TS 36.141 6.2 [1]). Note that the specification defines the minimum requirement plus the test tolerance (TT)). * Relative limits are 44.2 dB = 45 dB min requirement + 0.8 dB TT. Both Absolute and Relative limitsare provided. Whichever is less stringent is to be used for the conformance requirement. Sophisticated signal evaluation tools are available for making complex LTE measure-ments quickly and accurately. Power measurements including ACLR generally are made using a spectrum or signal analyzer, and the required test signals are built using a signal generator. In the following examples, Keysight’s PC-based Signal Studio application connected to an MXG signal generator is used to build the standards-compliant E-TM signal required for transmitter testing. The output signal is connected to the RF input of an Keysight X-Series signal analyzer running N9080A LTE measure-ment application, which is used for signal analysis. This equipment setup follows the simple block diagram provided in the 3GPP LTE specifications (Figure 2). Although the measurement process described here is for FDD operation, the process for TDD operation is similar.According to the specifications, the carrier frequency must be set within a frequency band supported by the base station under test, and ACLR must be measured for frequency offsets on both sides of the channel frequency, as specified for paired or unpaired spectrum operation (T able 3). The test is performed first using a transmitted signal of type E-TM1.1, in which all of the PDSCH resource blocks have the same power, and then again using E-TM1.2, in which power boosting and deboosting are used. The E-TM1.2 configuration is useful because it simulates multiple users whose devices are operating at different power levels. This scenario results in a higher crest factor, which makes it more difficult to amplify the signal without creating additional,unwanted spectral content—i.e., ACLR.Spectrum Bands Adjacent Carrier Limits (Min req + TT) *PairedSpectrumCategory AE-UTRA 44.2 dB or -13 dBm/MHzUTRA 44.2 dB or -13 dBm/MHz PairedSpectrumCategory BE-UTRA 44.2 dB or -15 dBm/MHzUTRA 44.2 dB or -15 dBm/MHzUnpairedspectrumCategory AE-UTRA (LTE) 44.2 dB or -13 dBm/MHz1.28 Mcps UTRA 44.2 dB or -13 dBm/MHz3.84 Mcps UTRA 44.2 dB or -13 dBm/MHz7.82 Mcps UTRA 44.2 dB or -13 dBm/MHzUnpairedspectrumCategory BE-UTRA (LTE) 44.2 dB or -15 dBm/MHz1.28 Mcps UTRA 44.2 dB or -15 dBm/MHz3.84 Mcps UTRA 44.2 dB or -15 dBm/MHz7.82 Mcps UTRA 44.2 dB or -15 dBm/MHzSetting up the ACLR testFigure 2. Measurement equipment setup (3GPP TS 36.141 [1] Annex I, Figure I.1-1)Setting up the ACLR test (continued)In this ACLR measurement example, Signal Studio is set up to generate a standards-compliant E-TM1.2 test signal. The frequency is set to 2.11 GHz, a frequency that is in several of the major downlink operating bands specified for LTE. The output signal amplitude—an important consideration in determining ACLR performance—is set to -10 dBm. A 5 MHz channel bandwidth is selected from the range that extends from 1.4 to 20 MHz.Figure 3 shows the eNB setup with Transport Channel selected. A graph of the resource allocation blocks for the test signal appears at the bottom. The Y axis indicates frequency or resource blocks, while the X axis indicates slots or time. The different colors correspond to different channels, with the white areas representing Channel 1 and the pink areas Channel 2. Both are downlink shared channels, of interest in this measurement. The other colors represent synchroni-zation channels, reference signals, etc.Figure 3. Resource allocation blocks (at bottom) for E-TM1.2 test signalSelecting Channel 1 shows the output power level to be at -4.3 dB, so the channel power has been deboosted. The output power of Channel 2 has been boosted and is set at 3 dB (Figure 4). A complex array of power boosting and deboosting options can be set for the different resource blocks from resource block allocation graph. The resulting composite signal will have a higher peak-to-average ratio than a single channel in which all blocks are at the same power level. Amplifying a boosted signal such as this can be difficult, as noted earlier. Without sufficient back-off in the power amplifier, clipping may result.Figure 4. Boosted output power in Channel 2Setting up the ACLR test(continued)The test signal is now generated using the Signal Studio software. Because Signal Studio is PC-based, it can be run from the PC-based X-Series signal ana-lyzer. The waveform in this case is created on the desktop of the signal analyzer and then downloaded to the signal generator via LAN or GPIB. The RF output of the signal generator is connected to the RF input of the signal analyzer, where the ACLR performance is measured using swept spectrum analysis. In this example, the signal analyzer is in LTE mode with a center frequency of 2.11 GHz and the ACP measurement selected. At this point it is possible to make a quick, one-button ACLR measurement according to the LTE standard by recalling the appropriate parameters and test limits from a list of available choices in the LTE application. These choices include options for paired and unpaired spectrum, Category A or Category B limits (as defined in ITU-R SM.329), and type of carrier in the adjacent and alternate channels—E-UTRA (LTE), UTRA (W-CDMA), or TD-SCDMA.Recall that for FDD operation, LTE defines two different methods of making ACLR measurements. In Figure 5, the upper graph shows the case in which E-UTRA (LTE) is used at the center and offset frequencies. The lower graph shows LTE at the center frequency and UTRA (W-CDMA) at the adjacent and alternate offsets.Figure 5. Two specified methods of ACLR measurementIn Figure 6 the measurement result shows the E-UTRA adjacent and alternate offset channels. For this measurement a 5 MHz carrier is selected; however, the measure-ment noise bandwidth is 4.515 MHz, because the downlink contains 301 subcarriers. The first offset (A) is at 5 MHz, with an integration bandwidth of 4.515 MHz. The second offset (B) is at 10 MHz with the same integration bandwidth.Figure 6. ACLR measurement result using Keysight X-Series analyzer before optimization This one-button measurement gives a very quick, usable ACLR measurementaccording to the LTE standard. While the result in Figure 6 of about -62 dBc is good, the analyzer settings can be optimized to get even better performance. Four ways to further improve the measurement results are (1) optimize the signal level at the mixer; (2) change the resolution bandwidth filter; (3) turn on noise correction; and (4) use a different measurement methodology called filtered integration bandwidth.To optimize the signal level at the input mixer, the attenuator is adjusted for minimal clipping. The X-Series signal analyzer will automatically select an attenuation value based on the current measured signal value. This automated technique provides a good starting point for achieving optimal measurement range. Signal analyzers such as the X-Series, which have both electronic and mechanical attenuators, can use the two in combination to optimize performance. In such cases the mechanical attenuator can be adjusted slightly to get even better results of about 1 or 2 dB.Next the resolution bandwidth can be lowered by pressing the bandwidth filter key. Note that sweep time increases as the resolution bandwidth is lowered. For example, with the MXA signal analyzer, sweep time at 30 kHz is 676.3 ms. At a lower 10 kHz RBW, the sweep time is about 6 seconds. The slower sweep time reduces variance in the measurement, but reduces measurement speed.Another step is to turn on noise correction. The analyzer then takes one sweep to measure its internal noise floor at the current center frequency, and in subse-quent sweeps subtracts that internal noise floor from the measurement result. This technique substantially improves ACLR, in some cases by up to 5 dB.Setting up the ACLR test(continued)Optimizing theanalyzer settingsOptimizing the analyzer settings (continued)Changing the measurement method is a fourth way to optimize the analyzer. In this case the default measurement method (integration bandwidth or IBW) is changed to the filtered IBW method. Filtered IBW uses a sharp, steep cutoff filter. This technique does degrade the absolute accuracy of the power measurement result, but it does not degrade the relative power accuracy, and ACLR is a relative power measurement. Therefore, filtered IBW does not degrade the ACLR result. Using these techniques in combination, an Keysight’s X-series analyzer can optimize the ACLR measurement automatically for performance versus speed via the analyzer’s embedded LTE application. The result for a typical ACLR mea-surement is improved by up to 10 dB or more. Figure 7 shows an 11 dB ACLR improvement after optimization (compared to Figure 6) using the embedded LTE application. For measurement scenarios requiring the maximum performance, the analyzer settings can be further adjusted.Figure 7. ACLR measurement result using Keysight X-series analyzer after optimization Standards-compliant spectrum measurements such as ACLR are invaluable for RF engineers developing the next generation radio systems. With LTE, however, these measurements are complicated by factors such as variations in the band-width of adjacent channels, choice of transmission filter, and interaction of RF variables between channels of different bandwidth and different susceptibility to interference. A practical solution is to use a spectrum or signal analyzer with a standards-specific measurement application. This combination can reduce error in complex measurements, automatically configuring limit tables and specifiedtest setups and ensuring measurement repeatability.ConclusionAcronyms3GPP 3rd Generation Partnership ProjectACLR Adjacent channel leakage-power ratioA-MPR Additional maximum power reductionCDMA Code division multiple accesseNB Evolved node BE-TM E-UTRA test modelE-UTRA Evolved universal terrestrial radio accessEVM Error vector magnitudeFDD Frequency division duplexGPIB General purpose interface busIBW Integration bandwidthLAN Local area networkLTE Long term evolutionMPR Maximum power reductionMIMO Multiple input multiple outputOFDMA Orthogonal frequency division multiple accessPRACH Physical random access channelQAM Quadrature amplitude modulationQPSK Quadrature phase-shift keyingRB Resource blockRBW Resolution bandwidthRE Resource elementRF Radio frequencyRRC Root-raised cosineSC-FDMA Single carrier frequency division multiple accessSRS Sounding reference signalTDD Time division duplexTD-SCDMA Time domain synchronous code division multiple accessUE User equipmentUMTS Universal mobile telecommunications systemUTRA Universal terrestrial radio accessW-CDMA Wideband code division multiple access11ReferencesMore Information[1] 3GPP TS 36.141 V8.4.0 (2009-09) Base Station (BS) Conformance Testing [2] 3GPP TS 36.521-1 V8.3.1 (2009-09) User Equipment (UE) Conformance Specification; Radio Transmission and Reception Part 1: Conformance T estingFor more information about the 3GPP, visit the 3GPP home page /3GPP specifications home page/specs/specs.htm 3GPP Series 36 (LTE) specifications/ftp/Specs/archive/36_seriesFor more information about Keysight design and test products for LTE visit /find/lteKeysight LTE application notes and technical overviews:3GPP Long T erm Evolution: System Overview, Product Development, and Test Challenges: 5989-8139EN LTE Component T est: 5990-5149ENMIMO in LTE Operation and Measurement—Excerpts on LTE T est: 5990-4760EN MIMO Performance and Condition Number in LTE T est: 5990-4759ENN9080A & N9082A LTE Modulation Analysis Measurement Application Technical Overview: 5989-6537ENLearn more about LTE and its measurements in the new book written by 30 LTE experts:LTE and the Evolution to 4G Wireless Design and Measurement Challenges/find/ltebookFor more information on KeysightTechnologies’ products, applications or services, please contact your local Keysight office.

The Pidgeon process is the main production process of magnesium smelting in China. However, with the implementation of the green and low-carbon development concept, the process has many shortcomings, such as low heat transfer efficiency, long reduction cycle, high energy consumption and large emissions, which has been restricting the development of the magnesium smelting industry. After years of research, scholars have made a series of achievements in improving the heat transfer efficiency of magnesium smelting, reducing reduction temperature, shortening the reduction cycle, etc. In this paper, the research progress in improving the heat transfer efficiency of magnesium smelting was reviewed in detail from three aspects including reductant, process conditions and heat transfer device, and suggestions and ideas on the existing magnesium smelting technology were put forward for reference only.Keywords: magnesium smelting ; heat transfer efficiency ; reducing agent ; heat transfer device ; optimization process收稿日期:2022-11-15;修回日期:2022-12-24基金项目:国家自然科学基金辽宁联合基金资助项目(U1508217)通信作者:张廷安(1960— ),教授,主要从事有色金属冶炼、新工艺的开发、固废处理等方面的研究。
中南林2020级PM第二周作业C4-542.Examiner’s report March/June 2021A manufacturing company uses machine C, which is operational for five hours a day to manufacture four products: W, X, Y and Z. Factory costs are $150,000 per day. The company uses throughput accounting and its objective is to maximise profits. Information relating to these products is as follows:Product Production rate per machine hour (units) Selling price per unit ($) Material cost per unit ($) Conversion cost per unit ($)W 200 350 120 40X 500 190 95 25Y 400 270 160 20Z 350 215 75 35If the company is not able to increase the availability of machine C's operational hours, what is the production ranking of product Y? [单选题] *A FirstB SecondC ThirdD Forth(正确答案)答案解析:The correct answer is D Forth As the products are all produced in the same factory the cost per machine hour will be the same across all the products so they can be ranked on their throughput return per machine hour (otherwise they should be ranked ion their throughput accounting ratio).The products would be ranked in order: Z, X, W and Y. Product Y would be ranked forth (last).43.Examiner’s report June 2017. Which of the following statements is NOT consistent with the theory of constraints? [单选题] *A There is no inventory of work in progress or finished good held(正确答案)B Raw materials are converted into sales as quickly as possibleC Operations prior to the bottleneck operate at the same level as the bottleneckD Conversion costs and investment costs are kept to a minimum答案解析: Holding no inventory of work in progress or finished goods is NOT consistent with the theory of constraints as the theory of constraints specifies that a small amount of buffer inventory should be maintained prior to the bottleneck activity so that the bottleneck never has to be slowed down or delayed. The other three statements are all consistent with the theory of constraints.44.Examiner’s report September 2016. A manufacturing company uses three processes to make its two products, X and Y. The time available on the three processes is reduced because of the need for preventative maintenance and rest breaks. ……Which of the following will improve throughput? [单选题] *A Increasing the efficiency of the maintenance routine for Process 2(正确答案)B Increasing the demand for both productsC Reducing the time taken for rest breaks on Process 3D Reducing the time product X requires for Process 1答案解析:This question tested candidates’ knowledge of throughput accounting, and specifically how throughput can be improved. It is also a good example of a question where it’s important not to rush – all of the possible answers could improve throughput, depending on what our bottleneck (limiting factor) is – Process 1,2 or 3. If none of the processes are limited, then increasing demand would improve throughput.Once we have realised this, we need to find out which (if any) process is limiting us. This is a common calculation in F5 but worth going over. We need to calculate, for each process, how many hours are required to meet maximum demand – 10 units of X and 16 of Y:As the table shows, Process 2 is the bottleneck – we cannot produce 10 units of X and 16 of Y in the 22 hours available. Therefore increasing the efficiency of the maintenance routine will increase the amount of units we can produce, and therefore improve throughput. Any of the other options will mean we are still limited by Process 2, and therefore will have no effect.45.Past year paper December 2016.A company decides which of three mutually exclusive products to make in its factory on the basis of maximizing the company's throughput accounting ratio.……Which of the following actions would improve the company's existing throughput accounting ratio? [单选题] *A Increase the selling price of product Z by 10%(正确答案)B Increase the selling price of product Y by 10%C Reduce the material cost of product Z by 5%D Reduce the material cost of product Y by 5%答案解析:As all three products are mutually exclusive the company would choose to make X as it has the highest throughput return per hour of $2.Of the four possible options only increasing the selling price of product Z by 10% would give a higher throughput return per hour of $2.40.46.Specimen exam September 2016.A company manufactures a product which requires four hours per unit of machine time. Machine time is a bottleneck resource as there are only ten machines which are available for 12 hours per day, five days per week. The product has a selling price of $130 per unit, direct material costs of $50 per unit, labour costs of $40 per unit and factory overhead costs of $20 per unit. These costs are based on weekly production and sales of 150 units.What is the throughput accounting ratio? [单选题] *A 1·33(正确答案)B 2·00C 0·75D 0·31答案解析:Return per factory hour = ($130 – $50)/4 hours = $20Factory costs per hour = ($20 + $40)/4 = $15TPAR = $20/$15 = 1·3347.Past year paper June 2015.X Co uses a throughput accounting system. Details of product A, per unit, are as follows:……What is the return per hour for product A? [单选题] *A $40B $2,400(正确答案)C $30D $1,800答案解析:$320 – $80/(6/60) = $2,40048.Past year paper June 2015.The following statements have been made in relation to the concepts outlined in throughput accounting:(i) Inventory levels should be kept to a minimum.(ii) All machines within a factory should be 100% efficient, with no idle timeWhich of the above statements is/are correct? [单选题] *A (i) only(正确答案)B (ii) onlyC Both (i) and (ii)D Neither (i) nor (ii)答案解析:The first statement is correct as throughput accounting discourages production for inventory purposes and is often used in a just in time environment. The second statement is incorrect as in throughput accounting it is the bottleneck resource which should be 100% efficient which actually may mean unused capacity elsewhere. 49.On Monday, in addition to the baking ovens, Sweet Treats Bakery has the following process resources available:……Which of the three processes, if any, is a bottleneck activity? [单选题] *A WeighingB Mixing(正确答案)C BakingD There is no bottleneck答案解析:The bottleneck is the mixing process as 188 minutes are required to meet maximum demand but there are only 180 minutes available.Note: Four batches of brownies need to be made in order to have sufficient cakes to meet maximum demand as the cakes must be made in their batch sizes.50.On Wednesday, the mixing process is identified as the bottleneck process. On this day, only 120 minutes in the mixing process are available.Assuming that Sweet Treats Bakery wants to maximise profit, what is the optimal production plan for Wednesday? [单选题] *A 80 brownies, 30 muffins and 100 cupcakes(正确答案)B 0 brownies, 90 muffins and 100 cupcakesC 120 brownies, 0 muffins and 100 cupcakesD 40 brownies, 60 muffins and 100 cupcakes51.Sweet Treats Bakery has done a detailed review of its products, costs and processes.Which TWO of the following statements will improve the throughput accounting ratio? *A The cafe customer wants to negotiate a loyalty discountB A bulk discount on flour and sugar is available from suppliers(正确答案)C There is additional demand for the cupcakes in the marketD The rent of the premises has been reduced for the next year(正确答案)答案解析:Reduction in rent and discounts on materials will reduce costs and will improve the TPAR.Giving a customer a loyalty discount will reduce sales revenue and as a result the TPAR. Demand for cupcakes can increase but it will not impact the TPAR as demand is not the restriction.52.On Friday, due to a local food festival at the weekend, Sweet Treats Bakery is considering increasing its production of cupcakes. These cupcakes can be sold at the festival at the existing selling price.The company has unlimited capacity for weighing and mixing on Friday but its existing three ovens are already fully utilised, therefore in order to supply cupcakes to the festival, Sweet Treats Bakery will need to hire another identical oven at a cost of $45 for the day.How much will profit increase by if the company hires the new oven and produces as many cupcakes as possible? [单选题] *A $50.00B $140.00C $95.00(正确答案)D $31.00答案解析:Each oven has a capacity of eight hours and each cupcake batch takes two hours so four extra batches can be made.Extra throughput = four batches x $35 = $140.Less the hire costs will result in an additional profit of $9553.In a previous week, the weighing process was the bottleneck and the resulting throughput accounting ratio (TPAR) for the bakery was 1.45.Which of the following statements about the TPAR for the previous week are true?(1)The bakery’s operating costs exceeded the total throughput contribution generated from its three products.(2)Less idle time in the mixing department would have improved the TPAR.(3)Improved efficiency during the weighing process would have improved the TPAR. [单选题] *A 1 and 2B 3 only(正确答案)C 2 and 3D 1 only答案解析:As the TPAR exceeds 1 then the throughput contribution exceeds operating costs so Statement 1 is false.Less idle time on a non-bottleneck process would notimprove the TPAR so Statement 2 is false.Improving efficiency during the weighing process would improve the TPAR as any actions to improve throughput on a bottleneck will improve the TPAR so Statement 3 is true.54.What is the annual capacity of the bottleneck activity? [单选题] *A 2,400 1,600B 4,800 4,800C 7,200 4,800(正确答案)D 9,600 9,600答案解析:Total salon hours = 8 x 6 x 50 = 2,400 each year.There are three senior stylists, therefore total hours available = 7,200.Based on the time taken for each activity, they can perform 7,200 cuts (7,200 hours/1 hour per cut) or 4,800 treatments (7,200 hours/1·5 hours per treatment).55.The salon has calculated the cost per hour to be $42·56.What is the throughput accounting ratio (TPAR) for both services? [单选题] *A 1·37 1·58(正确答案)B 1·41 2·38C 1·37 1·61D 1·41 2·41答案解析:CutsReturn per hour = (Selling price – materials)/time taken on the bottleneck = (60 – 1·50)/1 = 58·50TPAR = Return per hour/cost per hour =58·50/42·56 = 1·37 (to two decimal places)TreatmentsReturn per hour = (Selling price – materials)/time taken on the bottleneck = (110 – 8·90)/1·5 = 67·40TPAR = Return per hour/cost per hour = 67·40/42·56 = 1·58 (to two decimal places)56.Which of the following activities could the salon use to improve the TPAR?(1)Increase the time spent by the bottleneck activity on each service. (2) Identify ways to reduce the material costs for the services. (3) Increase the level of inventory to prevent stock-outs.(4) Increase the productivity of the stage prior to the bottleneck. (5)Improve the control of the salon’s total operating expenses. (6) Apply an increase to the selling price of the services. [单选题] *A (1), (2) and (4)C (2), (5) and (6)(正确答案)D (1), (4) and (6)答案解析:The factors which are included in the TPAR are selling price, material costs, operating expenses and bottleneck time. Increasing the selling price and reducing costs will improve the TPAR.Increasing the time which each service takes on the bottleneck (the senior stylists’ time) will only reduce the number of services they can provide, so this will not improve throughput.Throughput accounting does not advocate the buildingof inventory as it is often used in a just-in-time environment and there is no point increasing the activity prior to the bottleneck as it will just create a build-up of work-in-progress. Neither of these will improve the rate of throughput through the process.57.What would be the effect on the bottleneck if the salon employed another senior stylist? [单选题] *A The senior stylists’ time will be a bottleneck for cuts onlyB The senior stylists’ time will be a bottleneck for treatments only(正确答案)C The senior stylists’ time will remain the bottleneck for both cuts and treatmentsD There will no longer be a bottleneck答案解析:The existing capacity for each activity is: Cut TreatmentAssistants 48,000 16,000Senior stylists 7,200 4,800Junior stylists 8,000 9,600If another senior stylist is employed, this will mean that their available hours will be (4 x 2,400) = 9,600.Thiswill give them capacity to now do 9,600 cuts (9,600 hours/1 hour per cut) and 6,400 treatments (9,600 hours/1·5 hours per treatment).As a result, the senior stylists willstill be the bottleneck activity for treatments but for cuts the bottleneck will now be the junior stylists as they can only do 8,000 cuts compared to the senior stylists of 9,600. 58.Which of the following statements regarding the theory of constraints are correct?(1)It focuses on identifying stages of congestion in a process when production arrivesmore quickly than the next stage can handle.(2)It is based on the concept that organisations manage three key factors – throughput, operating expenses and inventory.(3)It uses a sequence of focusing steps to overcome a single bottleneck, at which point the improvement process is complete.(4)It can be applied to the management of all limiting factors, both internal and external, which can affect an organisation. [单选题] *A (1) and (2) only(正确答案)C (2), (3) and (4)D (1), (3) and (4)答案解析:The theory of constraints is focused on identifying restrictions in a process and how to manage that restriction (commonly termed a bottleneck).It is based on the concept of managing throughput, operating expenses and inventory.It does use a series of focusing steps but it is not complete once the bottleneck has been overcome. In fact it is an ongoing process of improvement, as once the bottleneck has been elevated it is probable that another bottleneck will appear and the process willcontinue. It cannot be applied to all limiting factors as some, particularly those external to the organisation, may be out of the organisation’s control.59.Examiner’s report Sept/Dec 2021.A company's actual production figures for a batch of products are as follows: kg $Material 2,000 10,000Labour and overhead 26,000 2,000 36,000Normal loss 10% -200 1,800 36,000Abnormal loss -100 -2,000Good output 1,700 34,000In terms of environmental cost categorisations, how would the normal and abnormal losses be described? [单选题] *A Normal loss = Potentially hidden costs Abnormal loss = Conventional costs(正确答案)B Normal loss = Potentially hidden costs Abnormal loss = Contingent costsC Normal loss = Conventional costs Abnormal loss = Contingent costsD Normal loss = Conventional costs Abnormal loss = Contingent costs答案解析:The correct answer is A Normal loss = Potentially hidden costs, Abnormal loss = Conventional costs Performance management candidates should be aware that there are different environmental cost categorisations. One set of definitions provided by the US Environmental Protection Agency made a distinction depending on how an organisation intended to use the information. They identified four types of costs: conventional costs: raw material and energy costs having environmental relevance potentially hidden costs: costs captured by accounting systems but then losing their identity in ‘general overheads’contingent costs: costs to be incurred at a future date –for example, clean-up costs image and relationship costs: costs that, by their nature, are intangible, for example, the costs of preparing environmental reports. In this example, normal loss costs are spread over good units of production thus losing their identity and being lost and potentially hidden. Abnormal losses are reported separately in results so are like conventional costs of material, energy etc. The numbers given in the question are for illustration only and are not required to answer the question.60.Examiner’s report December 2020.Which TWO of the following activities are environmental INTERNAL failure costs? A Quality control inspections to monitorpollution levels in water leaving a production process B Water purification treatment to clean waste water before it leaves the factory C Fitting of carbon filters to machine processes to reduce carbon emissions D Power usage measuring system to monitor energy consumption within the factory E Payment of fines for breaching environmental regulations in the industry F Insulation of heating pipes in the factory to reduce heat loss G Public relations costs to remedy reputational damage caused by accidental river pollution H Capturing and recycling of waste exhaust gases to generate energy [填空题] *_________________________________(答案:BH)答案解析:Environmental costs can be categorised as prevention costs, detection cost, internal failure costs and external failure costs. This question asks for the identification of the two environmental internal failure costs. These are costs relating to an environmental failure, for example pollution or wastage but where the failure has been identified and dealt with within the organisation before it manages to affect the external environment. Water purification treatment to clean waste water before it leaves the factory and capturing and recycling of waste exhaust gases to generate energy would be examples of environmental internal failure costs. They key here is that waste water has been produced which is a failure cost, but it has been cleaned before leaving the factory, making it an internal failure cost. Likewise, waste exhaust gases have been produced, but these have been captured and recycled within the factory. Environmental prevention costs relate to activities or measure which aim to avoid the pollution or wastage occurring. Insulation of heating pipes in the factory to reduce heat loss and fitting of carbon filters to machine processes to reduce carbon emissions would come under this heading. Environmental detection costs relate to the costs incurred to test the levels of emissions and wastage to ensure that the organisation is being compliant with internal standards and external regulations. Quality control inspections to monitor pollution levels in water leaving a production process and power usage measuring system to monitor energy consumption within the factory would come under this heading. External failure costs relate to pollution which has affected the outside environment.Payment of fines for breaching environmental regulations in the industry and public relations costs to remedy reputational damage caused by accidental river pollution would be examples of environmental external failure costs. A number of candidates did not answer the question which was asked and instead gave the answer for the two environmental prevention costs, or the two environmental detection costs or the two environmental external failure costs. Environmental management accounting is an important area and candidates should ensure that they are familiar with the different categories of environmental costs. They should also read the requirements of the question carefully.61.Examiner’s report September 2019.A company grows different types of tea leaves and blends them together. The tea leaves are picked by hand because too many leaves were damaged and wasted when picking machines were used. The tea leaves are then dried andprocessed and any waste produced is recycled. The company regularly tests its tea for contaminants, in line with food safety legislation. It recently identified that one tea plantation contained high levels of contaminated soil after the use of a new pesticide. Identify, by selecting the relevant box in the table below, the environmental cost classification of each of the following costs.(分别用1 2 3 4 四个数字代表下面四个环境成本分类 1 PREVENTION 2 DETECTION 3 INTERNAL FAILURE 4 EXTERNAL FAILURE),请问按照顺序填写下面四个成本对应的成本分类——Cost incurred to clean contaminated soil,Staff cost for picking leaves by hand,Recycling waste cost,Cost incurred for testing tea for contaminants (答案示例:1234) [填空题] *_________________________________(答案:4132)答案解析:The cost incurred to clean contaminated soil is an external failure cost. This is because this cost has arisen as a result of discharging contaminants into the external environment. The staff cost for picking leaves by hand is a prevention cost. The picking machines damage too many leaves which causes waste, therefore handpicking leaves prevents this wastage. The recycling waste cost is an internal failure cost because it is waste which is created by the business but is dealt with by the company so that it is not released into the environment. The cost incurred for testing tea for contaminants is a detection cost as testing the tea ensures that the company is compliant with legislation.62.Examiner’s report September 2017.Which of the following should be categorised as environmental failure costs by an airline company?(1) Compensation payments to residents living close to airports for noise pollution caused by their aircraft.(2) Air pollution due to the airl ine’s carbon emissions from their aircraft engines.(3) Penalties paid by the airline to the government for breaching environmental regulations. [单选题] *A 2 onlyB 1, 2 and 3(正确答案)C 1 and 3 onlyD 2 and 3 only答案解析: Environmental failure costs are costs incurred as a result of environmental issues being created either internally or outside the company. These can be financial or societal costs. Compensation, penalties and air pollution are all environmental failurecosts. This is a good example of why covering the whole syllabus is important. Environmental management accounting is often an area which is overlooked.63.Past year paper December 2016.Flow cost accounting is a technique which can be used to account for environmental costs. Inputs and outputs are measured through each individual process of production.Which of the following is NOT a category used within flow cost accounting? [单选题] *A Material flowsB System flowsC Delivery and disposal flowsD Waste flows(正确答案)答案解析:Waste flows are not a category used within flow cost accounting, however the other three categories are.64.Past year paper September 2016.Different management accounting techniques can be used to account for environmental costs. One of these techniques involves analysing costs under three distinct categories: material, system, and delivery and disposal.What is this technique known as? [单选题] *A Activity-based costingB Life-cycle costingC Input-output analysisD Flow cost accounting(正确答案)答案解析:Under a system of flow cost accounting material flows are divided into three categories – material, system, and delivery and disposal65.Specimen exam September 2016.Which of the following statements regarding environmental cost accounting are true?(1)The majority of environmental costs are already captured within a typical organisation’s accounting system. The difficulty lies in identifying them.(2)Input/output analysis divides material flows within an organisation into three categories: material flows; system flows; and delivery and disposal flows.(3)One of the cost categories used in environmental activity-based costing is environment-driven costs which is used for costs which can be directly traced to a cost centre.(4)Environmental life-cycle costing enables environmental costs fromthe design stage of the product right through to decommissioning at the end of its life to be considered. [单选题] *A (1), (2) and (4)B (1) and (4) only(正确答案)C (2), (3) and (4)D (2) and (3) only答案解析:Most organisations do collect data about environmental costs but find it difficult to split them out and categorise them effectively.Life-cycle costing does allow the organisation to collect information about a product’s environmental costs throughout its life cycle.The technique which divides material flows into three categories is material flow cost accounting, not input/output analysis.ABC does categorise some costs as environment-driven costs, however, these are costs which are normally hidden within total overheads in a conventional costing system. It is environment-related costs which can be allocated directly to a cost centre.66.Past year paper June 2015.When activity-based costing is used for environmental accounting, which statement is correct for environment-related costs and environment-driven costs? [单选题] *A Environment-related costs can be attributed to joint cost centres and environment-driven costs cannot be(正确答案)B Environment-driven costs can be attributed to joint cost centres and environment-related costs cannot beC Both environment-related costs and environment-driven costs can be attributed to joint cost centresD Neither environment-related costs nor environment-driven costs can be attributed to joint cost centres答案解析:This is the correct option as environment-driven costs are allocated to general overheads, not joint cost centres.67.Past year paper December 2014.The following statements have been made about environmental cost accounting:(1)The majority of environmental costs are already captured within a typical organisation’s accounting system.

THE ACCOUNTING REVIEWV ol.82,No.32007pp.759–796The Effects of Contracting,Litigation, Regulation,and Tax Costs on Conditional and Unconditional Conservatism:Cross-Sectional Evidence at the Firm LevelXinrong QiangUniversity of WyomingABSTRACT:Prior studies propose four explanations for accounting conservatism,andrecent studies classify conservatism into two forms:conditional and unconditional con-servatism.This paper examines whether each proposed explanation applies to con-ditional conservatism,unconditional conservatism,or both.Thefindings are as follows:(1)contracting induces conditional conservatism;(2)litigation induces both forms;(3)regulation induces unconditional conservatism;and(4)taxation induces unconditionalconservatism.Thesefindings indicate that the two forms of conservatism play distinctroles in contracting,regulation,and taxation,as well as a common role in litigation.They also play an interrelated role,as suggested by thefinding that unconditionalconservatism reduces conditional conservatism.The combined evidence implies thatbecause the two forms meet distinct needs but are negatively interrelated,it is nec-essary to trade them off.Keywords:conditional conservatism;unconditional conservatism;contracting;taxation.Data Availability:All data are available from public sources.I.INTRODUCTIONR esearchers have proposed four explanations for accounting conservatism:contract-ing,litigation,regulation,and taxation(Watts2003).The contracting explanation suggests that conservatism counteractsfirms’incentives for aggressive accounting and,hence,lowers potential losses to investors who use accounting numbers in contracts. To induce conservatism for contracting purposes,the investors can impose onfirms certain costs(hereafter,contracting costs).The litigation explanation points out thatfirms also face asymmetric litigation costs that induce conservatism.Under the regulation hypothesis,ac-counting standard-setters and regulators prefer conservatism and induce it by imposingThis paper is based on my dissertation at the State University of New York at Buffalo.I appreciate the helpful comments and suggestions from my dissertation committee—Jerry Han(former Chair,now deceased),Michael Rozeff(Chair),Samuel Tiras(Chair),and Susan Hamlen—as well as those from two anonymous referees,Dan Dhaliwal(editor),Sudipta Basu(the conference discussant).The paper also benefited from the comments of Gary Fleischman,Frederic Sterbenz,Steven Rock,Penne Ainsworth,Linda Kidwell,Phil Shane,John Jacob,and other workshop participants at the University of Hong Kong,State University of New York at Buffalo,University of Wyoming,and University of Colorado,and the2005AAA Annual Meeting.Editor’s note:This paper was accepted by Dan Dhaliwal.Submitted October2005Accepted September2006759760QiangThe Accounting Review,May 2007regulation costs on firms.To lower the contracting,litigation,and regulation costs,firmstend to report conservatively.Finally,the taxation hypothesis posits that firms also reportconservatively to defer tax costs.Most studies of these explanations focus on conditional conservatism.This form ofconservatism (e.g.,impairment accounting)requires a higher degree of verification for goodnews than for bad news after difficult-to-verify news occurs (Basu 1997).Watts (2003)points out that conditional conservatism biases equity book value and earnings downward.In comparison,unconditional conservatism (e.g.,excessive depreciation)also addressesdifficult-to-verify information and biases the numbers downward;however,this form isapplied before difficult-to-verify news occurs.Thus,it immunizes accounting systemsagainst future bad news.1This study explores the distinct,common,and interrelated roles of the two forms ofconservatism.2This is important for two reasons.First,recent studies note that some pro-posed explanations do not apply to both forms.Basu (2005)suggests that taxation is likelyto generate unconditional conservatism.Ball and Shivakumar (2005)argue that contractinggenerates conditional conservatism,which is partially supported by Ball et al.’s (2005)finding on debt contracting.Thus,while the two forms may play a common role (e.g.,inlitigation),they are also likely to play distinct roles (e.g.,in contracting and taxation).Evidence of their distinct and common roles can help identify the desirable form(s)to meeta specific need.Second,Beaver and Ryan (2005)demonstrate that unconditional conservatism (e.g.,excessive depreciation)lowers book values,therefore reducing subsequent conditional con-servatism (e.g.,impairment write-downs).This role of the unconditional form in reducingthe conditional form suggests that the two forms are negatively interrelated.Evidence ofthe interrelated role of the two forms,taken together with the evidence of their distinctroles,highlights a necessary trade-off between them.3For example,firms may sacrificecontracting efficiency (via conditional conservatism)for tax reduction (via unconditionalconservatism).In addition,controlling for this negative interrelation can help to properlyidentify the effect of a given factor on conditional conservatism;otherwise,the effect isunderestimated (overestimated)if the factor encourages (discourages)unconditionalconservatism.The four explanations of the two forms of conservatism and the interrelation of the twoforms are unified as follows.Regulation and taxation provide incentives to record expensesand losses as early as possible,without requiring a particular form of conservatism toachieve this.Because unconditional conservatism has some advantages over conditionalconservatism (e.g.,recording losses earlier),these two factors tend to induce unconditionalconservatism.As this form can fully preempt conditional conservatism—for instance,ex-pensing R&D eliminates any future write-down—the two factors do not induce conditionalconservatism.Like regulation and taxation,litigation sometimes simply provides incentivesto record expenses and losses as early as possible,and thus induces unconditional conser-vatism.However,litigation sometimes induces conditional conservatism because some po-tential plaintiffs particularly demand this form for contracting purposes.Contracting onlygenerates conditional conservatism because unconditional conservatism does not provide1I thank an anonymous referee for the insight that ‘‘[u]nconditional conservatism immunizes the accounting system against future bad news.’’2Accounting conservatism as defined in this study includes conditional and unconditional conservatism but ex-cludes recording no rents (e.g.,historical cost accounting)and understating easy-to-verify numbers (e.g.,delaying easy-to-verify gains or subtracting easy-to-verify income).See Section IV for a discussion of these exclusions.3I thank the anonymous referee again for this insight.Explanations for Conditional and Unconditional Conservatism 761The Accounting Review,May 2007new information and adds noise to the payoffs to contracting parties.In sum,the hypothesesare as follows:(1)contracting induces conditional conservatism;(2)litigation induces bothforms;(3)regulation induces unconditional conservatism;and (4)taxation induces the un-conditional form.Conditional (unconditional)conservatism is measured by downward biases in equitybook value and earnings that result from conditionally (unconditionally)conservative ac-counting.4In univariate tests,unconditional conservatism is regressed on each hypothesizedfactor.In addition,conditional conservatism is regressed on each factor before and aftercontrolling for unconditional conservatism.Consistent with unconditional conservatism pre-empting conditional conservatism,the coefficient on unconditional conservatism is alwayssignificantly negative.The coefficient on a factor sometimes changes substantially after thecontrol,suggesting a need for the control.In multivariate tests,the preemption effect iscontrolled for and all factors are incorporated simultaneously.The findings are as follows:(1)Firms bearing higher equity and debt contracting costschoose greater conditional conservatism.(2)Firms facing larger litigation costs choosegreater conditional and unconditional conservatism (with the results for auditor litigationcosts being weak).(3)Firms bearing higher accounting regulation costs choose greaterunconditional conservatism.(4)Firms facing a larger reduction in tax costs choosegreater unconditional conservatism.These findings indicate that the two forms of conser-vatism not only play a common role in avoiding litigation,but also play distinct roles.Theconditional form improves contracting efficiency,while the unconditional form helps pre-vent regulation and defer taxes.Further,a significantly negative association between thetwo forms of conservatism suggests that they play an interrelated role.The combined evi-dence implies that because the two forms meet distinct needs but are negatively interrelated,it is necessary to trade them off.This paper contributes to our understanding of conservatism in two ways.First,itprovides new evidence of the distinct,common,and interrelated roles of the two forms ofconservatism.This evidence helps identify (1)which form(s)should be used to meet aspecific need,(2)whether a trade-off between the two forms is necessary,and (3)whichfactors should be considered in the trade-off.This evidence also allows researchers toproperly assess the effect of a factor on conditional conservatism because unconditionalconservatism is controlled for.Second,by simultaneously investigating multiple conservatism factors rather than ex-amining different factors in isolation,this paper disentangles effects of the correlated factorsand,hence,provides evidence that enables researchers to accurately gauge the effect ofeach factor.5Conducting firm-level tests further helps to properly identify these effects.Ithas the advantage that it is easier to control for confounding factors at the firm level,alleviating omitted variable and endogeneity problems that are inherent in country-level andtime-series tests (Sloan 2001;Holthausen 2003).Another advantage is that substantial4See Section IV for a discussion of potential measurement error introduced by recording no rents and understating easy-to-verify numbers.5Ball et al.(2003)note that properties of reported numbers are determined by firm incentives,which depend on many factors such as investor demand,regulation,and taxation.Bushman and Piotroski (2006)stress the im-portance of incorporating multiple factors in obtaining a complete understanding of the property in question.Holthausen (2003)suggests that examining multiple factors helps us properly gauge the effects of individual factors.762QiangThe Accounting Review,May 2007variation in firm incentives and the considerable discretion available to firms allow forpowerful tests at the firm level.6The remainder of the paper is organized as follows.Section II motivates the researchquestion with prior research.Section III develops hypotheses.Section IV describes researchdesign.Section V presents results.Section VI concludes.II.PRIOR RESEARCHThe extant literature provides ample evidence of the various conservatism explanations.Researchers document greater conservatism among firms in common-law countries (Ball etal.2000),public firms (Ball and Shivakumar 2005),firms facing more severe conflicts overdividend policy (Ahmed et al.2002),and firms monitored by more independent boards(Beekes et al.2004).All of this evidence is consistent with the contracting hypothesis.Several studies provide evidence of the litigation explanation.Huijgen and Lubberink(2005)find greater conservatism among U.K.firms that are cross-listed in the U.S.(a morelitigious country),while Chandra et al.(2004)show greater conservatism,but not higherlitigation risk,among high-tech firms.Greater conservatism is also observed during periodsof higher auditor liability (Basu 1997),during quarters of audited reports (Basu et al.2001b),and among firms hiring big auditing firms (Basu et al.2001a).Consistent with theregulation explanation,Sivakumar and Waymire (2003)show that enforceable accountingrules induced conservatism among early 20th century railroads.Two recent studies examinemultiple explanations at the country level.Ball et al.(2003)find that four East Asiancountries with high-quality standards show low levels of conservatism,indicating that fac-tors other than standards also affect conservatism.Bushman and Piotroski (2006)show thatlegal and political institutions at the economy level interact with contracting and litigationfactors at the country level to influence conservatism.While the existing evidence provides significant insights,it is limited in two ways.First,because most of the above studies focus on conditional conservatism,the evidenceonly allows researchers to assess the effect of a factor on this form of conservatism.Butthe factor may not affect unconditional conservatism in the same way.Thus,the evidencedoes not allow researchers to understand the distinct/common roles of the two forms ofconservatism.Without such an understanding,it is difficult to determine which form(s)should be used to meet a specific need.Furthermore,if the two forms meet distinct needsbut are negatively interrelated,then firms face a trade-off between them.Without an un-derstanding of the distinct and interrelated roles,it is difficult to determine whether a trade-off is necessary and which factors should be considered in the trade-off.In addition,withthe interrelation of the two forms omitted,even the effect of a factor on the conditionalform cannot be properly identified.Second,because most of the above studies focus on different factors in isolation,theevidence does not allow researchers to accurately assess the effect of each factor.Several6For example,although firms within a country have the same regulatory system,firms of different sizes bear different levels of regulation risk and thus face different amounts of expected regulation costs.Similarly,firms of different levels of market volatility bear different levels of litigation risk and thus face different amounts of expected litigation costs.Hence,there is substantial variation in firm incentives for conservatism.In addition,firms have discretion in exercising conditional conservatism (e.g.,selecting the timing and amount of write-downs)and applying unconditional conservatism (e.g.,implementing rules and choosing methods,estimates,and assumptions),as elaborated in Givoly et al.(2006)and indicated by accounting choice and earnings man-agement studies.Explanations for Conditional and Unconditional Conservatism 763The Accounting Review,May 2007factors likely exist or change jointly (e.g.,co-existing contracting and taxation or co-changing litigation and regulation).Thus,it is unclear which factors cause the existence ofconservatism in a given period,such as that before regulation and litigation regimes(Holthausen and Watts 2001),or cause an inter-temporal change in conservatism,such asits increase during periods of increased auditor liability (Basu 1997).Countries or firmslikely differ in many aspects (e.g.,governance,litigation,and regulation).Hence,it isunclear which factors cause a cross-sectional difference in conservatism,such as that be-tween common-law and code-law countries (Ball et al.2000)or that between U.S.-listedand non-U.S.-listed firms (Huijgen and Lubberink 2005).Overcoming these two limitations motivates this paper.To identify not only the effectof a factor on conditional conservatism,but also its effect on unconditional conservatism,this paper examines both forms of conservatism,after controlling for the preemption ofconditional conservatism by unconditional conservatism.To accurately assess the effect ofindividual factors on conservatism,this paper investigates multiple factors simultaneously.III.HYPOTHESESContractingTo mitigate agency problems (Jensen and Meckling 1976),equity and debt holderscontract with firms based on accounting numbers.Firms thus have incentives to bias equitybook value and earnings upward.This tendency poses potential losses to the investors.Watts (2003)argues that accounting conservatism counteracts this tendency and biases thenumbers downward,thereby reducing the expected losses to investors who have asymmetricloss functions.Thus,conservatism improves contracting efficiency.Ball and Shivakumar (2005)specify that conditional conservatism improves contractingefficiency.This form curbs negative net present value (NPV)projects,thereby improvingthe efficiency of equity contracting,and it quickly triggers debt covenant violations,therebyenhancing the efficiency of debt contracting.On the other hand,this form forgoes positiveNPV projects (Guay and Verrecchia 2006)and retains unnecessary capital within a firm(Watts 2003),thereby reducing contracting efficiency.7Watts (2003)resolves this conflictby pointing out that,for equity (debt)holders with asymmetric loss functions,the benefitsof avoiding negative NPV projects (preventing excessive dividends)outweigh the costs offorgoing positive NPV projects (retaining unnecessary capital),resulting in a net increasein contracting efficiency.Unconditional conservatism,which lowers equity book value and earnings as well,canalso curb negative NPV projects and quickly trigger debt covenant violations.However,Basu (2005)notes that this form does not utilize new information,and Ball and Shivakumar(2005)argue that this form adds noise to payoffs to contracting parties and thus couldreduce contracting efficiency.Overall,contracting is expected to encourage the conditional7Guay and Verrecchia’s (2006)argument that conditional conservatism forgoes positive NPV projects is the flip side of the argument that it curbs negative NPV projects.Under conservative accounting,a positive NPV project may cause near-term earnings to be negative,and future earnings may reflect the benefits of the project after the tenure of a manager.This can lower the manager’s compensation,causing him to forgo the project.Similarly,Watts’(2003)argument that conditional conservatism retains unnecessary capital is the flip side of the argument that it quickly triggers debt covenants violation and,hence,prevents excessive dividends.When the return on equity provided by a firm is lower than the return that shareholders can earn elsewhere,paying dividends is of the best interests of shareholders.However,conservative accounting understates equity book value and earnings;the understated numbers,when used in debt covenants that constrain dividends,reduce firms’flexibility in paying dividends.Consequently,conservative firms may not be allowed to pay dividends when it is efficient to do so.764QiangThe Accounting Review,May 2007form only.Investors can induce this form by imposing costs on firms via governancemechanisms.8LitigationLitigation also provides incentives for conservatism,as suggested by Kellogg’s (1984)evidence that firms and auditors are far more likely to be sued for overstatements than forunderstatements.Firms thus bear costs associated with litigation against them.Further,auditors can pass on their litigation costs to firms by being less accommodating to aggres-sive accounting,by increasing auditing fees (Pratt and Stice 1994),by issuing unfavorableaudit opinions,or by terminating relations with risky clients (Krishnan and Krishnan 1997).Hence,firms also bear litigation costs that auditors pass on to them.Firms can minimize these expected litigation costs by recognizing bad news as earlyas possible,because early recognition of bad news can reduce the probability that classaction lawsuits will be certified and can shorten the length of the class period when thoselawsuits are certified.Unconditional conservatism is preferred to achieve the early recog-nition of bad news because it records losses earlier than conditional conservatism does.However,if some potential plaintiffs particularly demand conditional conservatism in con-tracting,litigation also induces this form.In sum,litigation is expected to generate bothconditional and unconditional conservatism.RegulationTo avoid blame from constituents,accounting standard-setters and regulators (hereafter,the regulators)have an incentive to respond to constituent demand.Accordingly,if theirconstituents demand conservatism,then the regulators tend to induce conservatism (Watts2003).Furthermore,the form(s)of conservatism that the regulators induce would dependon (1)which form(s)their constituents demand,(2)whether the regulators understand theconstituent demand,and (3)which form(s)the regulators prefer.In general,constituents probably prefer the unconditional form because the conditionalform generates big negative shocks (e.g.,large write-downs),which are unlikely to bedesirable.Similarly,the regulators probably prefer the unconditional form,because relativeto smooth value decreases recognized before bad news occurs,large negative shocks rec-ognized after bad news occurs are more likely to cause the regulators problems.However,some constituents tend to favor conditional conservatism for contracting purposes.Ball andShivakumar (2005)present evidence of the historical ambivalence in accounting standards,and suggest that the ambivalence could reflect the regulators’confusion of the two formsof conservatism.Thus,although these constituents favor conditional conservatism,the reg-ulators may not well understand this need and thus may not favor this form.Collectively,the regulators tend to induce unconditional conservatism.They can induce this form byimposing regulation costs on firms (e.g.,costs due to restatements and SEC investigations).Given that firms capture the regulators’intention to induce unconditional conservatism,they tend to adopt this form to prevent regulatory intervention.In addition,when explicitor implicit rate of return regulation is in use,the unconditional form is more likely toprevent regulatory intervention because this form results in fewer large negative shocks inincome and,hence,a lower probability of rate violation.In contrast,it is not apparent that8Specifically,equity holders can impose costs such as potential reduced compensation,slowed promotion,and shortened tenure via board monitoring.Similarly,debt holders can impose costs such as potential immediate repayment,additional covenants,increased collateral,and raised interest rates (Gopalakrishnan and Parkash 1995)via debt monitoring such as having a trustee,hiring bond-rating agencies,and setting tight covenants (Dichev and Skinner 2002).Explanations for Conditional and Unconditional Conservatism 765The Accounting Review,May 2007conditional conservatism can prevent regulatory intervention.Instead,this form results inlarge negative shocks in income and,thus,may even trigger regulatory intervention thatwould not otherwise occur.Overall,regulation is expected to induce unconditional conser-vatism only.TaxationShackelford and Shevlin (2001)summarize two book-tax links.First,tax-minimizingstrategies often result in lower book income due to book-tax conformity.Second,becausefirms are concerned with large book-tax differences,they choose to lower book incomewhen reducing taxable income.Because of these links,taxation tends to induce conservativeaccounting.Basu (2005)points out that firms’choices between the two forms of conser-vatism in tax planning result from cost-benefit trade-offs.He also presents historical evi-dence that taxation induces the unconditional form.I extend his point as follows.From the perspective of the first link,the unconditional form is more likely to defertaxes.Tax codes often allow extra expenses due to unconditional conservatism (e.g.,extraCOGS due to LIFO)to be deductible;however,losses due to conditional conservatism arebarely allowed to be deductible,perhaps because such losses are based on unrealized de-creases in market value rather than realized losses from transactions.From the perspectiveof the second link,it is likely that firms prefer to use the unconditional form to reducebook income.Whereas both forms can lower book income,the unconditional form (1)recognizes losses earlier (i.e.,before news occurs),(2)is easier to control (i.e.,independentof news),(3)costs less to implement (e.g.,no impairment test),and (4)results in smootherearnings (e.g.,fewer shocks).Collectively,taxation is expected to induce the unconditionalform only.Hypothesis TestsTo test whether unconditional conservatism preempts conditional conservatism andwhether this relationship affects hypothesis tests,I regress conditional conservatism on eachfactor before and after controlling for unconditional conservatism.Unconditional conser-vatism is also regressed on each factor.The cross-sectional regressions are as follows:c CSV ϭ␣ϩ␣Cost ϩε;j 01j j c u CSV ϭ␣ϩ␣Cost ϩ␣CSV ϩε;andj 01j 2j j u CSV ϭϩCost ϩ␦(1)j 01j jwhere:ϭc CSV j a conditional conservatism measure for firm j ;ϭu CSV j an unconditional conservatism measure for firm j ;Cost j ϭone of the following proxies for factors

Compustat 2004industry and research firms in theperiod of 1982–2002,including an estimation period of 1982–87,a sample period of 1988–1999,and a sensitivity test period of 2000–02.9Among these firms,884firms meet thedata requirements for book-value-based conservatism measures and 1,500firms meet thosefor accruals-based conservatism measures.10Additional data requirements for all explana-tory variables result in a final sample of 633firms over the sample period of 1988–1999.Panel A of Table 1presents descriptive statistics for key accounting and market variables.The statistics show that the final sample generally consists of well-established firms,indi-cating the presence of survivorship bias due to requirements for substantial data over a longperiod.To address survivorship bias,I use three larger samples over shorter sample periods:719firms over 1990–99,825firms over 1992–99,and 1,050firms over 1994–99.In ad-dition,I use two samples,614firms over 1988–2001and 720firms over 1990–2001,toaddress endogeneity.Proxies for Factors Inducing ConservatismPanel B of Table 1reports descriptive statistics for proxies for factors inducing con-servatism.Because an expected cost equals the probability of incurring a cost times theamount of the cost,expected costs imposed for contracting purposes increase with theprobability that investors detect aggressive reporting.This probability is likely to be highwhen governance is strong,as suggested by the evidence that governance mechanismsconstrain opportunistic reporting,including both the extreme tail of frauds (Dechow et al.1996)and more subtle accruals management (Klein 2002).Therefore,stronger equity ordebt governance proxies for higher expected costs imposed for equity or debt contracting9The sample period is constrained by my limited access to some databases,such as Compact D (used to estimate CtrCost Eq )and SDC (see footnote 29).10I exclude observations with a negative equity book value and those with the highest or lowest 1percent value of any variable necessary to estimate a conservatism measure.。

Test Cost Reduction for SOCsUsing Virtual TAMs and Lagrange MultipliersAnuja Sehgal as@Vikram Iyengarvikrami@Mark D.Krasniewskimdk3@ Krishnendu Chakrabartykrish@Electrical&Computer Engineering,Duke University,Durham,NC27708,USA IBM Microelectronics,Essex Jct,VT05452,USAABSTRACTRecent advances in tester technology have led to automatic test equipment(ATE)that can operate at up to several hundred MHz. However,system-on-chip(SOC)scan chains typically run at lower frequencies(10-50MHz).The use of high-speed ATE channels to drive slower scan chains leads to an underutilization of resources, thereby resulting in an increase in testing time.We present a new technique to reduce the testing time and test cost by matching high-speed ATE channels to slower scan chains using the concept of vir-tual test access mechanisms(TAMs).We also present a new TAM optimization framework based on Lagrange multipliers.Experi-mental results are presented for three industrial circuits from the ITC’02SOC test benchmarks.Categories and Subject DescriptorsB.7.3[Integrated circuits]:Reliability and testingGeneral TermsAlgorithms,DesignKeywordsAutomatic test equipment(ATE),bandwidth matching,scan chains, system-on-chip(SOC),test access mechanism(TAM)1.INTRODUCTIONThe widespread use of embedded cores in system-on-chip(SOC) design has led to higher chip densities and shorter design cycle times.However the growing demand for automatic test equipment (ATE)resources during manufacturing test of SOCs has led to a sharp increase in test cost[16].Test cost for large SOCs can be viewed as consisting of:1.Explicit test cost(Cost of investing in a new ATE,also knownas Capital Expenditure):Complex cores often require expen-sive ATE resources such as high-frequency channels,high This research was supported in part by the National Science Foundation under grants CCR-9875324and CCR-0204077.Permission to make digital or hard copies of all or part of this work for personal or classroom use is granted without fee provided that copies are not made or distributed for profit or commercial advantage and that copies bear this notice and the full citation on thefirst page.To copy otherwise,to republish,to post on servers or to redistribute to lists,requires prior specific permission and/or a fee.DAC2003,June2–6,2003,Anaheim,California,USACopyright2003ACM1-58113-688-9/03/0006...$5.00.pin counts,large memory depths as well as special featuresfor analog and RF cores[13].As a result,older-generationATE are often inadequate and large investments in new ATEmust be made.2.Implicit test cost:Large SOCs require long test sequences toguarantee high levels of fault coverage for embedded cores.This has led to an increase in testing time during which theSOC sits on an expensive ATE,thereby preventing other SOCs from being tested.This in turn leads to increased time-to-market and decreased profitability.As a result of rising costs,test is increasingly being viewed as a major bottleneck in SOC design and manufacturing;it is therefore important to reduce both explicit and implicit test cost.The reduction of explicit test cost requires that an existing amor-tized cost ATE be used instead of investing in a new,expensive ATE.Methods proposed to constrain SOC test requirements to match current ATE capabilities include test data compression[10],re-sponse compaction[15],and reduced pin-count test[17].All of these methods seek to ensure that the SOC test can be handled by the existing ATE.However,current growth trends in SOC function-ality and test requirements seem to predict that future investment in newer and expensive ATE is inevitable[6].On the other hand,reduction of implicit test cost requires that once a new,expensive ATE has been purchased,its resources must be utilized as efficiently as possible.This mandates that SOC test-ing times must be minimized such that several SOCs can use the ATE in a short time and that the high-frequency data channels and pin-count resources of the ATE are properly utilized by each SOC. Methods to increase the efficiency of ATE use include test schedul-ing,test access mechanism(TAM)optimization,and multi-site test. Test scheduling seeks to obtain an effective ordering of tests applied to the SOC to minimize testing time[2,9].TAM optimization is performed to improve test access to embedded cores in a modular test environment[4,5,7].Finally,multi-site test seeks to test sev-eral copies of the SOC simultaneously on the ATE,thus reducing testing time across an entire production batch[16].While these methods increase the efficiency of ATE use,they assume that the ATE always operates at core scan chain frequencies.Scan chains are typically run at frequencies lower than50MHz to reduce power consumption and avoid high-frequency scan design.However,re-cent advancements in tester design have led to ATE that can oper-ate at up to several hundred MHz.The use of such high-frequency ATE channels at low scan chain frequencies severely under-utilizes ATE capability,resulting in an increase in testing time and time-to-market,thereby directly impacting implicit test cost.44.2In this paper,we present a new technique to reduce implicit test cost by matching ATE channel frequencies to core scan chain fre-quencies using virtual TAMs.A virtual TAM is an on-chip test data transport mechanism that does not directly correspond to a particu-lar ATE channel.Virtual TAMs operate at scan-chain frequencies; however,they interface with the higher-frequency ATE channels using bandwidth matching.Moreover,since the virtual TAM width is not limited by the ATE pin-count,a larger number of TAM wires can be used on the SOC.This significantly increases the utilization of ATE capabilities and provides the SOC with a larger amount of test data in a shorter testing time.We also propose a new method for virtual TAM optimization to improve test data transport from ATE channels to core I/Os.The new method based on Lagrange multipliers[12]exploits the monotonically non-increasing function of core testing time with TAM width to effectively partition the set of virtual TAM wires among the cores.The rest of the paper is organized as follows.In Section2,we introduce the concept of virtual TAMs.In Section3,we discuss the use of Lagrange multipliers to TAM width partitioning.In Sec-tion4,we present the new TAM optimizationflow using a combi-nation of Lagrange multipliers for TAM width partitioning and a heuristic method for core assignment to TAMs.In Section5,we present experimental results for benchmark SOCs demonstrating the applicability of our methods.We conclude the paper in Sec-tion6.2.VIRTUAL TAMSRecent advancements in ATE technology have led to a substan-tial increase in ATE channel frequencies.However,the frequency at which an embedded core can be tested is limited by its scan chain frequency,typically under50MHz.Core scan chain frequencies are kept low to meet SOC power constraints and to avoid the design costs of high-frequency scan.The TAMs designed to transport test data to core scan chains,e.g.,in[4,5,7],are therefore constrained to operate at frequencies far lower than ATE channel capabilities. This reduces the utilization of ATE resources and increases testing time,thereby increasing the implicit test cost.The mismatch between ATE capabilities and TAM operating fre-quencies can be reduced using virtual TAMs based on bandwidth matching[10].The system TAMs are of two kinds:i)low-frequency TAMs driven by low-frequency ATE pins,and ii)high-frequency TAMs driven by high-frequency ATE pins.We apply bandwidth matching to the interface between high-frequency TAMs that inter-face with high-frequency ATE channels and low-frequency virtual TAMs that drive core scan chains;see Figure1.Virtual TAMs are based on the following relationship between the TAM width and operating frequency of test data transport mechanisms:(1) where and are the total ATE channel width and the total SOC TAM width,respectively,and and are the ATE channel and virtual TAM frequencies respectively.If band-width matching is not used,equals,and all the low-frequency and high-frequency ATE pins operate at the lower frequency.In order to minimize the the testing time by using the high fre-quency ATE pins,yet not violating the scan frequency constraint of the cores,we increase the available TAM width and decrease the frequency of high-speed TAMs by the same factor,such that Equation(1)is satisfied.This is illustrated as follows;again see Figure1.Given an SOC TAM of pins(driven by the ATE),of which pins are driven at the higher frequencyand()pins are driven at the lower scan frequency, such that using frequency division and band-Parallel-in/serial-outSerial-in/parallel-out Low-speed TAMFigure1:Virtual TAMs based on bandwidth matching.width matching,the following relationship holds:(2) Therefore,the total number of pins available to the SOC for core testing,defined as the virtual TAM width,is given by(3) Thus every ATE pin operating at the higher frequency gives riseto virtual TAM pins.The virtual TAMs decrease testing time significantly since a larger amount of test data is available to cores.Moreover,since the serial-in/parallel-out interfaces used for bandwidth matching are placed next to the cores,only the original TAM wires are routed through the system.Thus,a large number of TAM wires can be obtained with low routing and hard-ware cost.GRANGE MULTIPLIERSIn this section,we introduce the proposed Lagrange framework for minimizing implicit SOC test cost.Implicit test cost is reflectedin the SOC testing time,since testing time directly impacts the ATE time spent per SOC and contributes to test cost in real($)terms. The SOC testing time is minimized by designing a virtual TAM ar-chitecture and optimizing the virtual TAM widths supplied to cores. Here,wefirst describe a simple TAM optimization problem,and then formulate the general case.Consider an SOC with two TAMs()and two cores().Let denote the number of TAMs and denote the num-ber of cores in the system.Let and be the widths of the two TAMs.We assume here that the core assignment to TAMsis determined a priori.(This constraint is relaxed in Section4, where a method for integrated core assignment and TAM optimiza-tion is presented.)Core1is tested on TAM1and Core2is tested on TAM2.Let the testing time of Core1on TAM1be denoted by,and the testing time of Core2on TAM2be denoted by.Note that and are both monotonically non-increasing functions,as shown in[9].We now solve the fol-lowing optimization problem:determine the values of,such that(i),and(ii)is mini-mized,where denotes the total virtual TAM width available.We rephrase this problem as the minimization of a Lagrange cost function[12].Let the Lagrange cost function be de-fined as(4) where is referred as the Lagrange multiplier.The theory of Lagrange multipliers shows that for every, there exists a Lagrange multiplier such that the minimizationof is equivalent to the minimization of the right-hand expression in Equation(4)[12].Thus,instead of min-imizing,we solve Equation(4).Our goal is to devise an algorithm that determines the values of and, such that is minimized for a given.Next,we investigate the relationship between and.We con-sider two corner cases to bound the value of.Case1.Let us minimize the expression for in Equa-tion(4)while setting to0.If,then.Hence,the penalty term van-ishes.Now,since both and are monotonically non-increasing,is minimized when bothand.Therefore,if is set to0,is mini-mized by selecting a large value of.Case2.Next,let us minimize the expression for while setting to a large value,i.e.,.In this case,from Equa-tion(4),.The penalty term thus out-weighs the min-max term in Equation(4).Hence,to minimize when is large,a small value of must be chosen,i.e.,. From the above two cases we note that by varying the value of the Lagrange multiplier,it is possible to minimize(and equiva-lently,the SOC testing time cost function)for different values of .We next formalize the problem for the general case consistingof TAMs and cores.Recall that the core as-signment to TAMs is pre-determined.Let the constant()denote that core is assigned to TAM,otherwise.Generalizing Equation(4)for cores and TAMs,we formulate the problem as follows.Determine the TAM widths,such that and the cost func-tion is minimized,where(5)The expression gives the maximum test-ing time over all TAMs.Equation(5)thus represents a-dimensional optimization problem.Iterative descent procedure.To solve Equation(5),we use an it-erative descent procedure that optimizes the cost function along each dimension in a round-robin manner.Letbe the initial value of the solution vector,e.g.,an arbitrary choice of equal TAM widths.In thefirst iteration,we keep the values of all(fixed at their initial values,i.e., for.We then optimize the cost function to determine the optimal value of for this constrained problem in-stance.Let denote the optimal value of.We set. In the second iteration,keeping the values of all()con-stant,we optimize the cost function to determine the optimal value of.In this manner,locally-optimal values for are determined.The procedure then repeats tofind the next value for .The procedure cycles through each value of,ending when the decrement in the cost function goes below a given threshold .An important property of the procedure is that the cost at the end of the iteration is always less than or equal to the cost at the end of the iteration,i.e.,.We ex-ploit this property to show that the procedure is guaranteed to con-verge.Note that is bounded from below(a trivial lower bound is).Also,from the property,is a monotonically non-increasing function of.Since a monotonically non-increasing function that is bounded from below is guaranteedto converge,the iterative procedure is also guaranteed to converge. Illustrative Example We demonstrate the efficiency of the pro-posed method using a simple illustrative example.Let and as before.Let Core1be tested on TAM1and Core2on TAM2.Further,let and let.Note that both and are monotonically non-increasing functions.Let.We wish to minimize, where(6) Let the allowed values of and be constrained,such that.A brute force solution would require the eval-uation of for all100possible combinations of and.Sucha brute-force search in this example gives,and.Next,we solve the problem using the proposed procedure.We initialize the TAM width vector to.Since,therefore.In thefirst iteration,we minimize varying only, while keeping.The constrained cost function can be expressed as(7) Using the bisection search method[3],wefind that the value minimizes the cost function in Equation(7).Thus,, .After iteration1,.In Iteration2,we set to2,and minimize the cost function,while varying. The new constrained cost function can thus be written as(8) Here,bisection search[3]yields,and the minimal value of the cost function equals.Next,in Iteration3,wefix to1and vary.The solution obtained at the end of Iteration3, remains unchanged.Thus,we have achieved the optimal values of and.These are given by,.Recall that this solution is the same as the one we obtained earlier using brute-force search.However,we are able tofind the optimal solution in only three iterations using the iterative descent procedure,as comparedto100iterations using the brute-force search.Moreover,from the theory of Lagrange multipliers,the complexity of the proposed ap-proach is linear in,whereas that of the brute-force is exponential in.In our experiments,we have found that in order tofind partitionsfor TAM widths varying from8to160,the values need to vary from10,000to1.For example,for the SOC benchmark circuitp22810,a value of10,000yields a TAM partition for a TAM width of8.Since,varies inversely and monotonically with W, we use a bisection search over all possible values of to arrive at a solution for a given TAM width.4.TAM OPTIMIZATION AND CORE AS-SIGNMENTIn the previous section,we used Lagrange optimization to deter-mine an optimal partition of TAM widths among cores when the core assignment to TAMs is known.In this section,we solve the more general problem of optimizing core assignments as well as TAM widths in conjunction.This problem is equivalent to the gen-eral TAM optimization problem formulated in[7].Here, wefirst repeat the problem formulation from[7],and then present a method based on the Lagrange optimization procedure of Section3to solve.coresFigure2:Procedure for core assignment and TAM optimiza-tion.Problem:Given an SOC having cores and a total TAM width,determine the number of TAMs,a partition of among the TAMs,an assignment of cores to TAMs,and a wrapper design for each core,such that the total testing time is minimized. Problem was shown to be-hard in[7].We use the method of alternating projections[12]to iterate be-tween the Lagrange optimization procedure and a heuristic algo-rithm for core assignment[8],whose cost function is again the SOC testing time.First,the Lagrange optimization procedure is used to obtain a TAM width partition that minimizes the testing time for the SOC(based on an initial ad hoc core assignment).This width par-tition is then input to the core assignment algorithm[8],and cores are re-assigned to TAMs.After this step,the new assignment is fed as input to the Lagrange optimization procedure and the process is repeated.The Lagrange optimization procedure and the core as-signment algorithm are run alternately until the SOC testing time converges to afixed value.Figure2illustrates the alternating procedure for core assignment and Lagrange width partition optimization.The wrapper design al-gorithm from[7]is used to optimize core wrappers for the SOC. From the wrapper design procedure,we obtain the testing time of each core for TAM width(),whereis the upper limit on TAM width supplied to the wrapper de-sign algorithm.The core testing times are then input to the core assignment algorithm[8]and cores are assigned to TAMs based on an initial ad hoc TAM width partition in which the width of each TAM is set to.After the core assignment is performed,the Lagrange optimization procedure determines the new expression for the cost function;a TAM partition that minimizes this cost function is obtained.The new TAM width partition is input to the core assignment algorithm and the process repeats until the testing time converges.Convergence is achieved when the decrement in the testing time is less than a threshold value.In our experiments, we set to3clock cycles.Recall from Equation(4)that the cost function for the Lagrange optimization problem isNow, the cost function(SOC testing time)for the core assignment al-gorithm of[8]used in the proposed method is given as:It is therefore interesting to note that the cost function expressions for core assignment and TAM optimiza-tion are the same,since the values of and remain constant during an execution of the procedure illustrated in Figure2.Hence the testing time converges at a quicker rate than if the LagrangeNumber of TAMs:44190946180.00948294946180.00652440165180.004566374111180.002609000278180.0026412428708180.001Number of TAMs:441571170240.0148288948240.008525059100240.004568499110240.0026013776172240.0016421643256240.001Table1:Efficiency of Lagrange procedure for and. procedure were run with no alternating core re-assignment step. The procedure in Figure2is once again an iterative descent proce-dure;each Lagrange and each core assignment iteration guarantees a decrease in the testing time.The proof of convergence for this procedure is therefore similar to that given in Section3for the La-grange procedure.In the absence of an analytical expression for the number of iter-ations required to arrive at a solution,we demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed procedure empirically.In Table1,we list the total number of unique TAM partitions for a total TAM width of and for TAMs.The value of is calculated usingthe expression[8].Note that this expression is accurate only for larger values of;hence we present results only for.In Table1,we compare the efficiency of the La-grange optimization algorithm with that of the Partition evaluate algorithm proposed to solve Problem in[8].The efficiency is calculated as the ratio of the number of TAM partitions evalu-ated by the Lagrange optimization procedure to the total number of unique partitions.It can be seen that the number of partitions evaluated by the Lagrange procedure is less than the numberof partitions evaluated by Partition evaluate.The value of is constant over,but increases super-linearly with.Since both Partition evaluate and the Lagrange procedure use the same algo-rithm for core assignment[8],the overall improvement in TAM optimization using the Lagrange procedure is based solely on the new TAM partitioning algorithm.Hence,the performance of the Lagrange procedure does not deteriorate with increasing,which is not the case for Partition evaluate[8].This is especially criti-cal when virtual TAMs are designed,since the total virtual TAM width for a high-performance ATE can be very high.For large TAM widths,the computation time in[8]is in the order of minutes, whereas the proposed approach requires computation time in the order of a few seconds.5.EXPERIMENTAL RESULTSIn this section,we present experimental results on core assign-ment and TAM optimization using virtual TAMs.We demonstrate that the SOC testing time and therefore implicit test cost can be significantly reduced using virtual TAMs.Experimental results are presented for three benchmark SOCs from the ITC’02SOC Test Benchmarks suite[14].In Table2,we present results on the testing times obtained for different values of TAM width using virtual TAMs.The testing time is measured in terms of the number of scan clock cycles.The total number of high-frequency and low-frequency ATE pins used for test is denoted by.Therefore the real TAM width at the SOC boundary is.Of the pins,there are high-frequency pins and()low-frequency pins.SOC(%)(%)p2281016840434922194193428285450 241260313607153990642190995321680245622145417856145417402010019419312139310701320254824120164755109555128413202556281401454171095551498121393643216013362810955516112121393p34392168401021510544579428655144 24126072986454457964254457932168063093454457985654457940201005445795445790107054457904824120544579544579012845445790562814054457954457901498544579064321605445795445790161125445790p937911684017755867340854281132615 2412601198110501163642734085321680936081472388856514825402010073408541048310705148254824120599373366888128441186056281405146882571731498411205643216047238822359816112408683 :ATE pin-count(real TAM width);:Virtual TAM width;:Testing time without virtual TAMs,using Lagrange multipliers;:Testing time using virtual TAMs and Lagrange multipliers;:Percentage change in testing time using virtual TAMs;:Tighter lower bound obtained from[4];:Tighter lower bound obtained from[1];:same lower bound obtained from[1]and[4] Table2:Results on testing time(scan clock cycles)for TAM optimization using virtual TAMs.TAM width ILP/enum Partition evaluate GRP TR-Architect Proposed SOC[4][7][8][9][4]methodp2281016419466462210468011489192458068434922242796443615713136073300162997183136073220973431265924633224571822247124562240167787278359232409199558190995194193481398232783592324091737051602211647555611984826847215399015715914541714541764104868260638153990142342133404133628 p34392169327909987331033210105349110108211021510246210937208588821827594276804117298643254457959102766319355177854457963093440544579544579544579544579544579544579485445795445795445795445795445795445795654457954457954457954457954457954457964544579544579544579544579544579544579 p9379116174665717717201786200193233117916381775586241164442118799012094201310841118543411981103287333488775189434298803991223393608140698670698883741965794027718005734085485822275993735993736691966014505993735649905351468851468856843652892551468864436673460328473997517958455738472388Table3:Results on testing time(scan clock cycles)for TAM optimization using Lagrange multipliers(without virtual TAMs).The high-frequency pins are assumed to be capable of oper-ating at a frequency of four times that of the()low-frequency pins,which operate at the lower scan chain frequency. Therefore,from Equation(3),the number of virtual TAM pins available to cores is given by.The value of is varied from16to64for each benchmark SOC.For each SOC,we perform two sets of experiments,seting(i), and(ii).Testing time results are obtained for both these cases.By,we denote the testing time obtained by using Lagrange Optimization,if no virtual TAMs are used.This follows the TAM design methods proposed in[4,7,8,9],where the en-tire TAM width of was assumed to operate at the lower scan chain frequency,and only TAM wires are partitioned among the cores.By,we denote the testing time obtained using La-grange Optimization and virtual TAMs.The lower bounds on test-ing time for the virtual TAMs are also presented.These bounds are derived from the formulas presented in[1,4].The per-centage decrease in the SOC testing time using virtual TAMs is presented for each value of for the three benchmark SOCs. The value of is calculated as.For p22810,we obtain a decrease of as much as47.7%in test-ing time.In SOC p34392,one of the cores(Core18)is a bottle-neck core,as a result of which the testing time reaches the lower bound value of544579clock cycles for all TAM widths larger than32.This property of Core18for TAM widths larger than32in SOC p34392was presented in[9].Using virtual TAMs,it is possi-ble to achieve the lower bound of544579cycles with. The testing time results for p93791show an improvement of as much as58.6%over the testing times obtained without using vir-tual TAMs,even if only8pins out of16are running at the higher frequency.This represents a significant reduction in implicit test cost.The lower testing times and ATE pin-count requirements on the part of each SOC facilitate greater utilization of the ATE,and provide larger returns on the ATE investment.In Table3,we compare our results with four recent TAM opti-mization approaches[4,7,8,9].In[7],the authors optimized a test bus architecture using a combination of integer linear program-ming(ILP)and exhaustive enumeration.The work in[7]was later improved in[8]to include a heuristic method for core assignment. This heuristic core assignment approach forms a part of the TAM optimization method presented in this paper.In[9],the authors pre-sented a method to integrate TAM design and test scheduling using rectangle packing.Finally,in[4],the authors presented a heuristic algorithm TR-Architect for TestRail optimization.In Column3of Table3,we also list the lower bound values on testing time for the benchmark SOCs calculated in[4].Note that the testing times pre-sented for the proposed Lagrange optimization approach in the last column of Table3do not assume virtual TAMs.This is to ensure a fair comparison with the approaches in[4,7,8,9].The results obtained for the proposed approach compare most closely to those of the Partition evaluate algorithm[8],since the two methods use the same heuristic for core assignment.The CPU times taken by the method in[8]is in the range of a few hundred seconds at most,while the proposed Lagrange procedure is usu-ally half of this.This is because,as shown in Section3,the La-grange procedure is more efficient than the partitioning approach used in Partition evaluate,therefore the CPU time taken by the La-grange procedure is less than that required by Partition evaluate. The rectangle packing[9]and TR-Architect[4]algorithms appear to be the most efficient in terms of execution time taking at most10 seconds to complete.The ILP/enumeration algorithm[7]takes prohibitively-large execution times(in the range of several minutes to hours),depending on the SOC complexity.6.CONCLUSIONWe have presented a new technique to reduce testing time and test cost for core-based SOCs by increasing test resource utiliza-tion.The proposed approach,which is based on the concept of vir-tual TAMs,allows high-speed ATE channels to drive slower scan chains at their maximum rated frequencies.We have shown that even though virtual TAMs operate at scan-chain speeds,they can be interfaced to high-speed ATE channels using bandwidth matching. In this way,the number of on-chip TAM wires is not limited by the number of available pins on the SOC;this allows better utilization of high-speed ATE channels and reduces testing time.We have also presented a new TAM optimization framework based on Lagrange multipliers.Experimental results for three industrial SOCs from the ITC’02SOC test benchmarks demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.7.REFERENCES[1]K.Chakrabarty.Optimal test access architectures forsystem-on-a-chip.ACM Trans.Design Automation ofElectronic Systems,vol.6,pp.26–49,January2001.[2]R.M.Chou,K.K.Saluja and V.D.Agrawal.Schedulingtests for VLSI systems under power constraints.IEEE Trans.VLSI Systems,vol.5,no.2,June1997.[3]T.H.Cormen,C.E.Leiserson and D.L.Rivest.Introductionto Algorithms,McGraw-Hill,New York,NY,2001.[4]S.K.Goel and E.J.Marinissen.Effective and efficient testarchitecture design for SOCs.Proc.Int.Test Conf.,pp.529–538,2002.[5]Y.Huang et al.On concurrent test of core-based SOC design.J.Electronic Testing:Theory and Applications,vol.18,pp.401–414,Aug–Oct2002.[6]International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors(ITRS).Silicon Industry Association(SIA).,2001.[7]V.Iyengar,K.Chakrabarty and E.J.Marinissen.Testwrapper and test access mechanism co-optimization forsystem-on-chip.J.Electronic Testing:Theory andApplications,vol.18,pp.213–230,April2002.[8]V.Iyengar,K.Chakrabarty,and E.J.Marinissen.Efficientwrapper/TAM co-optimization for large SOCs.Proc.Design Automation and Test in Europe Conf.,pp.491–498,2002.
