Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of computer hardware and code analysis technology, and in particular to a real-time feedback device for static code analysis based on FPGA hardware pipeline. Background Technology

[0002] Current static code analysis devices generally adopt a "general-purpose CPU + DDR memory" architecture: the CPU reads the code file through the system bus, sequentially completes all steps such as lexical-syntactic-semantic parsing, control flow graph construction, path-sensitive analysis, and diagnostic result output, and finally transmits the results back via USB or network. However, existing analysis devices have the following drawbacks: (1) High analysis latency: For medium and large projects (>1MLOC), a single scan takes 30min–2h, making it impossible to achieve "save and get feedback"; (2) High resource consumption: CPU usage is 100%, which prevents IDE / CI nodes from executing compilation and testing in parallel; (3) Low energy efficiency: General-purpose CPUs consume a lot of energy when executing highly branched and irregular memory access algorithms; (4) Difficult to expand: If further performance needs to be improved, the number of CPU cores can only be increased, which is costly and consumes a lot of power. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is: in order to solve the problems existing in the prior art in the background art, a real-time feedback device for static code analysis based on FPGA hardware pipeline is provided.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: a code static analysis real-time feedback device based on FPGA hardware pipeline, including a host and a PCIe expansion card, wherein the PCIe expansion card carries all hardware components that implement the acceleration function. The PCIe expansion card includes a PCB board, which is the skeleton and nervous system of the device, fixing and supporting all electronic components. It provides power and signal paths to all components through a fly-by topology to ensure correct data transmission. The surface of the PCB board is divided into a power area, a DDR4 memory area, an FPGA chip area, and an output interface area. The lower edge of the PCB board is provided with a PCIe gold finger interface for connecting to the host. The PCIe gold finger interface is the physical interface and power input of the card. It is inserted into the PCIe slot of the host and provides a high-speed data transmission channel of up to tens of Gbps as well as power from the host. The FPGA chip area contains an FPGA chip, which implements the PCIe expansion card core, communicates with the host, and reads and writes cached data to the DDR4 chip. The FPGA chip has a dedicated data processing pipeline consisting of four cascaded hardware registers, which enables parallel processing of the hardware pipeline and improves throughput. The four hardware registers are driven by a global clock for synchronous operation to ensure precise coordination of each step. The global clock is generated by multiplying a reference crystal oscillator to 250MHz through the PLL circuit inside the FPGA. The power supply section provides efficient, stable, and clean power to the entire PCIe expansion card. It includes a six-phase parallel Buck converter circuit powering the FPGA chip core and a clock generation circuit providing the reference frequency for the global clock. Code data is transmitted to the FPGA chip via the PCIe gold finger interface, processed in parallel by the internal hardware pipeline, and diagnostic results are returned via the output interface. The six-phase parallel Buck converter circuit converts the +12V power from the PCIe slot into a low-voltage, high-current power supply required by the FPGA and DDR4 chips. The parallel multi-phase configuration reduces current and heat loss in each phase, minimizes output voltage ripple, and provides the high current required for FPGA operation. The clock generation circuit generates a stable and accurate reference clock signal. A partitioned layout between the Buck converter circuit and the clock generation circuit physically isolates the high-current, high-noise Buck converter circuit from the sensitive clock generation circuit, preventing power supply noise from interfering with clock stability.

[0005] Furthermore, the four-level hardware registers are divided into code line registers set in a continuous series to buffer the raw code lines, parsing registers, lexical / syntactic analysis results, analysis registers, control flow / data flow analysis, and result registers, and diagnostic results packaging.

[0006] Furthermore, the output interface area provides real-time physical feedback and auxiliary function interfaces. The output interface area is equipped with heat sinks and baffles, and the heat sinks and baffles are integrated into one unit.

[0007] Furthermore, the baffle is equipped with a USB-C output interface for transmitting diagnostic results and a three-color LED indicator for direct, immediate feedback: a green light indicates successful analysis and no problems; a yellow light indicates a warning or potential problem; and a red light indicates a serious error or vulnerability.

[0008] Furthermore, the fin thickness of the heat sink is 1.0-1.5mm, and its fin pitch is 1-4mm. The surface of the heat sink is covered with an anodized layer. The heat sink efficiently dissipates the heat generated by the FPGA and Buck converter circuit through the anodized layer and the optimized fin thickness and fin pitch, preventing overheating and frequency reduction.

[0009] Furthermore, the global clock frequency is 200-300MHz, which provides a high processing speed. After being generated by the clock generation circuit, it is distributed to various hardware registers through the global clock buffer.

[0010] Furthermore, the dimensions of a PCIe expansion card are 150-175mm*65-75mm*15-25mm.

[0011] Furthermore, the PCB board surface is provided with a nickel plating layer to prevent copper layer oxidation and provide hardness. The outer surface of the nickel plating layer is provided with an immersion gold layer with a thickness of 0.5-2µ", which provides a flat surface, excellent solderability and contact, and ensures the reliability of gold fingers and solder joints.

[0012] Furthermore, the DDR4 memory is installed in the DDR4 storage area as a high-speed, high-capacity cache to temporarily store large amounts of source code data transmitted from the host, providing storage space for intermediate results during the analysis process. The DDR4 memory adopts ODT (On-Die Termination) technology. In high-speed data transmission, the on-chip termination function of ODT technology can effectively suppress signal reflection, ensure the integrity of data waveforms, and improve stability. The address, command, and clock lines from the memory controller to each DDR4 memory on the PCB board are routed using a Fly-by topology. The DDR4 memory supports ODT technology. This routing method reduces signal branches, improves signal integrity, and makes the system more stable under high-speed operation.

[0013] Furthermore, the FPGA chip is replaced with an XCZU5E chip or XCZU9EG chip in the same package, and the DDR4 memory is replaced with LPDDR4-4266 memory.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: (1) The hardware circuit board PCIe is installed on the computer host. The hardware circuit board PCIe is soldered with FPGA chip, DDR4 chip and output interface, which are used to finally output data to the host or other computers. (2) Millisecond-level feedback: the analysis results are returned within milliseconds, realizing "save the code and see the results". Thanks to the cascading of the four-level hardware register pipeline inside the FPGA and the 250MHz global clock, the end-to-end delay from code input through the PCIe interface to the return of diagnostic results through the USB-C interface is ≤2ms, which is 3 to 4 orders of magnitude shorter than the traditional CPU solution. (3) CPU zero load, the host only moves AST / CFG data through PCIe-DMA, and all subsequent parsing, analysis and diagnosis are completed in the FPGA; the actual host CPU usage is <5%, which is almost imperceptible, and can compile and test in parallel without interference. (4) The power consumption of the entire device does not exceed 10 watts, and the energy efficiency is improved by ≥10 times. A dedicated fixed-point pipeline is used in conjunction with on-chip BlockRAM for high-speed caching, reducing the number of high-latency random accesses to DDR memory, thereby improving energy efficiency. (5) Compact structure, plug and play, standard PCIe expansion card, no external power supply required, can be directly plugged into existing servers or workstations to work; heat sink and baffle integrated design, heat dissipation margin ≥20%; (6) The power supply circuit, consisting of 6 parallel power supply units, is designed for the core voltage of the most critical and power-consuming FPGA. It features a highly reliable and low-jitter 6-phase Buck and independent PLL clock partition layout, with power ripple <10mV and clock jitter <50ps, ensuring that the pipeline is stable and free of time loss at 250MHz. (7) Easy to maintain and upgrade: All key registers are mapped through the AXI-Lite bus, and the Cortex-M3 soft core can update the bitstream online; the same packaged FPGA can be directly replaced, realizing "changing the core without changing the board", and is compatible with future process upgrades.

[0017] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, illustrating only the basic structure of the present invention, and therefore only show the components relevant to the present invention.

[0018] Static code analysis refers to the process of examining the correctness, security, reliability, maintainability, and compliance with coding standards of source code (or some form of compiled code) without actually running the program. Simply put, it's like giving the code a "physical checkup." "Static" means the code is static and not executed. The analyzer acts like a careful reviewer, reading the code line by line, rather than running it like a user. "Analysis" means examining various aspects of the code, such as structure, style, data flow, and control flow, to uncover potential problems. This contrasts with dynamic analysis, which requires actually running the program in a real or simulated environment (usually using test cases) to observe its behavior (e.g., performance analysis, unit testing).

[0019] FPGA hardware pipelines are key to achieving "real-time" processing. By leveraging the programmable parallel computing capabilities of FPGAs, each stage of static analysis (lexical analysis, syntax analysis, data flow analysis, etc.) can be designed into a high-efficiency hardware pipeline, achieving high throughput and low latency.

[0020] A real-time feedback device is a system where the entire system functions as a single unit. Its output is real-time feedback signals (such as red indicators transmitted to the IDE via USB / PCIe), and its input is the stream of code being typed by the programmer. It is a hardware or integrated hardware / software device specifically designed to perform static code analysis tasks. It automatically and deeply "examines" code without running the program, thereby uncovering defects, vulnerabilities, and non-compliance.

[0021] In other words, the real-time feedback device in this application is a hardware acceleration card, similar to a graphics card, which is a card that is plugged into the motherboard of a computer and is specifically used to quickly analyze errors and potential problems in program code. This process is called "static code analysis".

[0022] Example 1: like Figures 1-6 The illustrated code static analysis real-time feedback device based on FPGA hardware pipeline includes a host 1 and a PCIe expansion card 2. The operating environment is 0 ℃~70 ℃; MTBF≥100000h; and the size of the PCIe expansion card 2 is 150-175mm*65-75mm*15-25mm. like Figure 2 As shown, the PCIe expansion card 2 includes a PCB board 21, the surface of which is divided into a power supply area 211, a DDR4 memory area 212, an FPGA chip area 213, and an output interface area 214, as follows. Figure 2 As shown, the power supply area 211 is located in the upper left of the PCB board 21; the DDR4 storage area 212 is located in the upper right of the PCB board 21, ≤20mm from the FPGA area; the FPGA chip area 213 is the central area; the output interface area 214 is located in the lower right; the lower edge of the PCB board 21 is provided with a PCIe gold finger interface 25 for connecting to the host, which is the main input interface for power supply and high-speed differential data, compatible with PCIe Gen3 / 4×8 gold fingers, with a single 12V power supply ≤75W and a measured power consumption of 9.6W; The FPGA chip area 213 contains an FPGA chip, core processing, and hardware pipeline. The FPGA chip has a dedicated data processing pipeline consisting of four cascaded hardware registers. The four hardware registers are driven by a global clock 2135 for synchronous operation. The global clock 2135 is generated by multiplying a reference crystal oscillator to 250MHz through the PLL circuit inside the FPGA. The power supply area 211 includes a six-phase parallel Buck converter circuit 2111 that powers the FPGA chip core and a clock generation circuit 2112 that provides a reference frequency for the global clock 2135. Code data is transmitted to the FPGA chip through the PCIe gold finger interface 25. After parallel processing by the internal hardware pipeline, the diagnostic results are returned through the output interface.

[0023] The Buck converter circuit 2111 and the clock generation circuit 2112 are arranged in a partitioned layout, with power supply ripple <10mV and clock jitter <50 ps, ​​ensuring that the pipeline is stable and without time drops at 250 MHz, ensuring that a stable and clean power supply is provided to the FPGA chip, and preventing voltage fluctuations from causing system logic errors.

[0024] Power Supply Section: The 0.85 V core power supply uses a 6-phase parallel buck converter. Each phase output is equipped with two 47µF and four 22µF MLCCs (multilayer ceramic capacitors) for filtering. These capacitors work together to filter power supply noise across different frequency bands. From DC to high frequencies (1kHz to 100MHz), the impedance of the power distribution network must not exceed 3 mΩ. This is a stringent requirement, demanding low impedance in the power path itself to prevent voltage fluctuations caused by sudden changes in load current. 0.1 µF high-frequency decoupling capacitors (0201 package) for critical chips (such as FPGAs and DDR4) must be placed as close as possible to the chip's power pins. The power trace length from the capacitor to the chip pin must be less than 1 mm. This rule minimizes parasitic inductance and ensures that high-frequency current can be supplied as close as possible, which is crucial for meeting the target impedance requirements.

[0025] Input filtering: After the 12V power supply is input through the PCIe gold finger interface 25, it first passes through a "π-type" filter circuit consisting of one 10 µH inductor and two 470 µF capacitors. The main function of this circuit is to filter out high-frequency noise and interference from the motherboard power supply, providing a clean and stable input for the subsequent DC-DC voltage conversion module.

[0026] like Figure 5 As shown, the DC-DC voltage conversion (Buck converter circuit) involves feeding the filtered 12V power supply into four independent buck converter circuits 2111 to generate various low-voltage power supplies required by different chips on the board. The parameters for each circuit are strictly designed as follows: 0.85 V output: Generated by a 6-phase parallel buck converter, with each phase switching at a frequency of 2 MHz. This power supply has the most stringent design requirements, with the output ripple voltage needing to be no greater than 8 mV. Such a multi-phase, high-frequency, and low-ripple design indicates that it is designed to power an FPGA, requiring a stable current supply.

[0027] 1.8 V output: Generated by a 2-phase buck converter with a switching frequency of 1 MHz and an output ripple of no more than 10 mV. This voltage is typically used as the auxiliary voltage for the FPGA or to power the Vpp voltage of external memory (such as DDR4).

[0028] 1.2 V output: Generated by a single-phase buck converter with a switching frequency of 750 kHz and an output ripple of no more than 15 mV. This voltage may power the FPGA's I / O pins or other logic circuits.

[0029] 3.3 V output: Generated by a single-phase buck converter with a switching frequency of 600 kHz and an output ripple of no more than 20 mV. This voltage is typically used to power various peripherals, interface chips, or as a reference level.

[0030] Clock section: An onboard 25 MHz base crystal oscillator serves as the clock source. This reference frequency is fed into the FPGA's internal phase-locked loop circuit for frequency multiplication and conditioning, ultimately generating a high-quality, low-jitter system global clock of 250 MHz.

[0031] The global clock 2135 operates at a frequency of 200-300MHz. The entire system is driven by this high-frequency global clock, which is generated by the clock generation circuit 2112 and then distributed to various hardware registers via a global clock buffer to ensure the synchronization of all timing components. For this 250MHz global clock signal, there are strict requirements for its PCB routing: the length error between the positive and negative wires of all differential pairs belonging to this clock network must be controlled within 5 mil (approximately 0.127 mm). This is to ensure that the differential signals arrive simultaneously and prevent phase distortion.

[0032] The characteristic impedance of the entire clock differential line must be strictly designed and controlled to 85Ω to ensure that the signal is not reflected during transmission and to maintain the integrity of the signal waveform.

[0033] Therefore, the power supply adopts multi-stage filtering and multi-phase Buck architecture to provide stable, low-ripple, and efficient power supply for different loads, with a particularly outstanding core voltage specification of 0.85V.

[0034] The clock is generated from a low-frequency crystal oscillator via a PLL inside the FPGA, and the high quality and integrity of the clock signal are ensured through strict differential impedance control and equal-length wiring. These specifications collectively guarantee that the entire circuit board, especially core chips such as the FPGA, can operate stably and reliably at high speeds.

[0035] The reset employs a multi-stage, reliable reset sequence: first, an external POR (Power-On Reset) signal triggers the initial reset of the entire system; then, it waits for the PLL (Phase-Locked Loop) output clock within the FPGA to stabilize (LOCK signal active); finally, a cascaded soft reset signal is generated sequentially, releasing the reset state of each stage of the pipeline logic. This method ensures that the system only starts operating after the clock stabilizes, avoiding timing errors during startup. Clock gating technology is used to reduce chip power consumption during operation. When the FIFO of a certain processing unit is empty (i.e., no valid data needs to be processed), its clock circuit automatically shuts off, significantly reducing the dynamic power consumption of that part. Once data arrives, the clock automatically turns on again.

[0036] PCIe Gold Finger Interface 25 is the main input interface. This interface is the core signal part connecting the board to the computer host. It is used to insert into the PCIe slot. The main power supply draws +12V voltage from the motherboard, with a maximum power consumption of 55 watts, to power the FPGA chip and circuits on the board. It also draws +3.3V voltage, with a maximum power consumption of 3 watts, to power the standby circuits, interface chips or controllers on the board.

[0037] Data transmission uses a high-speed GTY transceiver with a total of 8 channels, each with a data transmission rate of up to 25.78Gbps, which is the standard for PCIe Generation 4, providing bidirectional bandwidth for high-speed data transmission between the FPGA and the host CPU.

[0038] It is equipped with an SMBus (System Management Bus) operating at a frequency of 100 kHz. This bus is mainly used to report the temperature data of the sensors on the board to the host, so as to facilitate the system monitoring of heat dissipation.

[0039] Signal integrity is ensured through impedance control (the characteristic impedance of differential signal lines must be controlled at 85Ω, with a tolerance of ±10%, and the characteristic impedance of single-ended signal lines must be controlled at 50Ω) and equal-length routing (the length difference between the two lines of the same differential signal pair cannot exceed 5 mil (approximately 0.127 mm) and the length difference between different differential pairs cannot exceed 25 mil (approximately 0.635 mm). To prevent signal delay from causing errors, routing length is strictly limited).

[0040] like Figure 2 As shown, the four-level hardware registers are divided into code line register 2131, parsing register 2132, analysis register 2133 and result register 2134, which are set in series.

[0041] Data flows between the four processing units within the FPGA as follows: from the first stage to the second stage, a 256-bit wide AXI-Stream bus is used for transmission; a 128-bit deep FIFO (First-In-First-Out memory) is used as a buffer. This FIFO is designed in non-blocking mode, which means that as long as the FIFO is not full, the preceding stage can continuously write data, ensuring the continuity of the data flow and preventing the processing flow from stalling due to busy back-end processes. From the second to the third stage, the bus width doubles to 512 bits, indicating an increase in data processing volume or throughput at this stage. A "ping-pong buffer" structure based on dual-port RAM is adopted. While one RAM buffer is being read by the subsequent stage (stage 3), the preceding stage (stage 2) can simultaneously write data to the other RAM buffer. The two buffers are used alternately ("ping-pong"), improving data throughput efficiency and bandwidth utilization. From level three to level four, the bus width becomes 64 bits, indicating that the data units processed at this stage are smaller and more refined. The data stream carries a "valid bit" and an "end-of-frame signal." The "EOF" indicates whether the data on the current bus is valid. The "EOF" signals the end of a data packet or frame, used to control data boundaries. From the fourth stage to the output interface: The data processed in the output process is no longer transmitted in stream form, but through the AXI-DMA controller. The AXI-DMA controller moves the data from the registers within the FPGA to an external DDR4 memory for buffering, and finally sends the data packaged in DDR through the USB-C interface.

[0042] The output interface area 214 is equipped with a heat sink 22 and a baffle 24, and the heat sink 22 and the baffle 24 are integrated into one unit. The fin thickness of the heat sink 22 is 1.0-1.5mm, the fin pitch is 1-4mm, and the surface of the heat sink 22 is covered with an anodized layer.

[0043] The baffle 24 is equipped with a USB-C output interface 241 for transmitting diagnostic results and a three-color LED indicator 242 for status indication.

[0044] like Figure 5 As shown, the USB-C output port 241 is an output interface located on the board's cover 24. It is used to connect external devices, supports the USB 3.2 Gen2×2 protocol, and can provide a maximum dual-channel transfer rate of 10 Gbps. It is also backward compatible with the older USB 2.0 standard.

[0045] The power supply output provides 5V voltage and a maximum current of 3A (maximum output power 15W). This 5V power supply does not come directly from PCIe, but is generated by the 3.3V power supply on the board through a Boost converter circuit.

[0046] Its data transmission lines have a differential characteristic impedance of 90Ω (standard USB impedance), allowing for a tolerance of ±10%.

[0047] It uses a standard 24-pin USB-C interface. To accommodate the thickness of the chassis bracket and make the interface flush with it, a recessed mounting design is used on the PCB board, where the interface is 0.8 mm lower than the PCB surface.

[0048] It is equipped with a tri-color LED indicator light, which is a common anode tube (all colors share one positive electrode). At a working current of 20mA, its brightness is 60mcd, providing a clear and visible status display.

[0049] The surface of PCB board 21 is provided with a nickel plating layer, and the outer surface of the nickel plating layer is provided with an immersion gold layer with a thickness of 0.5-2µ". The exposed pads and solder pins (such as gold fingers) of the board are made using ENIG (chemical immersion gold) process, and the thickness of the gold layer is 1 microinch (µ"), or about 0.0254 micrometers. This thin gold layer can prevent the underlying nickel layer from oxidizing and provide excellent solderability, contact and flatness.

[0050] After the PCB board is manufactured, it must pass verification tests to ensure that its performance, stability and long-term reliability meet the design expectations.

[0051] DDR4 memory is installed in DDR4 storage area 212 for large-capacity cache / lookup table. The DDR4 memory adopts ODT technology. The address, command and clock lines from the memory controller to each DDR4 memory on PCB board 21 are routed in a Fly-by topology. The DDR4 memory supports ODT (On-Die Termination) technology.

[0052] For command, address, and control signals, a fly-by topology is used for routing. That is, the signal starts from the memory controller, passes through each DDR4 memory chip in sequence like a relay, and is finally terminated at the end.

[0053] To ensure the synchronization of the differential clock signal, the difference in trace length between the positive and negative lines of the clock signal must be controlled within 5 mil (approximately 0.127 mm).

[0054] Within the same group of address or control signal lines, the difference in trace length between them cannot exceed 25 mil (approximately 0.635 mm). This relatively lenient constraint is ultimately compensated for by the memory controller's "write balancing" function.

[0055] The data lines are not routed in units of all bits, but rather in groups of 8 bits (one byte). The difference in trace length between the 8 data lines and the corresponding 1 data strobe signal line within each byte group must be controlled within 10 mils (approximately 0.254 millimeters). This is to ensure that all data in the same byte can be sampled synchronously.

[0056] At the physical end of the Fly-by link, a 40Ω resistor is required to pull up to the reference voltage (VTT) to absorb signal reflection.

[0057] Simultaneously, the ODT (On-Chip Termination) function within the DDR4 chip must be enabled, and its resistance value configured to 60Ω. The controller dynamically schedules the ODT to provide optimal termination matching for the data signals.

[0058] This section targets ultra-high-speed signals of 25+ Gbps, with stringent rules designed to minimize signal loss and reflection.

[0059] For routing layers, microstrip line structures from L1 (top layer) to L2 or from L7 to L8 (bottom layer) are preferred. This is because surface layer routing avoids losses caused by vias, and the dielectric environment is stable, resulting in the best signal quality.

[0060] When signal lines must be routed through vias for layer changes, back-drilling is mandatory. The purpose of back-drilling is to remove unused metal stubs from the vias, which can cause severe signal reflections, much like antennas. The length of the remaining stub after back-drilling must be ≤ 10 mil. Each high-speed lane from transmitter to receiver must not use more than two pairs of vias (i.e., four vias). Each additional via introduces additional insertion loss and impedance discontinuities. The final signal quality must be verified through eye diagram testing. At a rate of 25.78 Gbps, the eye diagram opening (eye height and eye width) must have a margin of at least 0.25 UI (unit spacing). This is a high standard to ensure reliable system operation even under noise and jitter.

[0061] Example 2: The difference from Example 1 is that the FPGA chip is replaced with an XCZU5E chip or XCZU9EG chip in the same package, with 100% pin compatibility, and the wiring of the corresponding PCB board 21 is adjusted accordingly.

[0062] Example 3: The difference from Embodiment 1 is that the DDR4 memory is replaced with LPDDR4-4266 memory, the wiring impedance is changed to 40Ω, the differential output interface can be changed to UART header, and the function remains the same; the power supply scheme can be changed to DrMOS and digital controller, still 6 phases, and the wiring of the corresponding PCB board 21 is adjusted accordingly.

[0063] Based on the above-described preferred embodiments of this utility model, and through the foregoing description, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the technical concept of this utility model. The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the contents of the specification, but must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
