Making Cars Better

By Jérôme Toublanc - 11 Sep, 2015 - Comments: 0

The automotive industry, with its double-digit growth, is a very attractive market for equipment manufacturers. This growth is explained not only by the increasing number of cars produced for the Asia market, but also by the shift of basic customer expectations for things such as more hybrid and electrical vehicles, more sophisticated infotainment requirements, and more high-end features. O... » read more

New Directions For EDA

By Brian Bailey - 16 Jun, 2015 - Comments: 0

DAC is over and everyone is asking – what was the theme this year? It is sometimes difficult to make such a determination because quite often the theme has been there for some time, but suddenly appears more obvious than it did in the past. Some years it is a new product or class of products. The theme also can remain hidden, or disguised. As an example, people have been talking about the ... » read more

Early Power Budgeting for Live Applications

By Meni Jayaswal - 16 Jun, 2015 - Comments: 0

Today, power and energy efficiency are at the forefront of SoC design. Functional activity has a first-order impact on power. Increasing functional integration requires a comprehensive analysis of power consumption across complex modes of operation. Power inefficiency in any one mode can have a significant impact on the competitiveness of a product or time to market. So designers are looking fo... » read more

System-Aware SoC Power, Noise And Reliability Sign-off

By Ansys - 14 Jan, 2015 - Comments: 0

In globally competitive markets for mobile, consumer and automotive electronic systems, the critical success factors are power consumption, performance and reliability. To manage these conflicting requirements, design teams consider multiple options, including the use of advanced process technology nodes — especially finFET-based devices. These advanced technology nodes allow chips to operate... » read more

Can RTL Clock Power Be Accurate Enough For Sub-20nm Multi-GHz Designs?

By Preeti Gupta - 11 Sep, 2014 - Comments: 0

The Register Transfer Language (RTL) has increasingly been adopted to enable early and high-impact power decisions. As a cycle-accurate hardware abstraction, RTL is expected to deliver reasonable power accuracy. Clocks are particularly important to analyze and optimize for power. They switch the most and drive the highest loads. Clock gating is an effective power reduction technique that shuts ... » read more
