Optimizing IP For Power
By Ed Sperling - 11 Apr, 2013 - Comments: 0

By Ed Sperling As the amount of commercial IP in an SoC increases, the entire bill of materials is coming under increasing scrutiny because of a new concern—power. Commercial IP, after all, is largely a collection of black-box solutions to speed up the time it takes to bring a chip to market, and frequently to improve the quality, but the cumulative impact on the system power budget has neve... » read more

Dealing With The Data Glut
By Ann Mutschler - 11 Apr, 2013 - Comments: 0

By Ann Steffora Mutschler Tools like emulation and simulation are an absolute necessity to design and verify today’s complex SoCs, but what happens when you want to do power analysis and the file sizes are too massive for the emulator to handle? Even with an emulator a five-minute mobile phone call could take three months. Understandably, this issue is causing pain to many design teams... » read more

Observation Post

By Pranav Ashar After attending the 2013 Design and Verification Conference (DVCon) in San Jose, Calif., I have compiled notes as both an observer and a panel participant. Here are my observations: Wally Rhines, CEO of Mentor Graphics, gave the keynote presentation: Accelerating EDA Innovation Through SoC Design Methodology Convergence. Logically and effectively he made the case that SoC in... » read more

EDA Power Moves
By Barry Pangrle - 14 Mar, 2013 - Comments: 0

By Barry Pangrle There have been some recent moves at the top of a couple of smaller but notable EDA companies. At Calypto, Doug Aitelli, who was named the CEO in January 2011 (he succeeded Tom Sandoval who then joined the Board of Directors) was replaced by industry veteran Sanjiv Kaul, the company announced last month. When Doug took over the reins at Calypto, the company described itself... » read more

Mining For Data
By Ed Sperling - 09 Aug, 2012 - Comments: 0

By Ann Steffora Mutschler Power analysis accuracy at the RTL design abstraction is a challenging problem. Smaller geometries just make the challenge of predicting accurate RTL power consumption even more difficult, which in turn impacts other design decisions such as power-grid planning and package selection. “It’s one of these things where the earlier you are in the design, even befo... » read more

28, 20nm Nodes Demand Advanced Power Management
By Ed Sperling - 12 Jul, 2012 - Comments: 0

By Ann Steffora Mutschler With the complexity of getting 28 and 20nm designs to reach desired yields with the desired power and performance on the shoulders of design teams, advanced power management techniques are a must. Sub-clock power gating, clock power gate structures, adaptive body bias and other techniques are making it possible. Sub-Clock Power Gating Far from a new techniqu... » read more

Pathfinding For Power And Heat
By Ed Sperling - 02 Mar, 2012 - Comments: 0

By Ed Sperling There are many ways to measure power and heat in an IC, and each one of them adds tremendous value to a design. But there are still holes, and those holes are just beginning to get filled. Power and heat have emerged as two of the most persistent problems in advanced designs, and there is no single or simple way to tackle either of them. Nevertheless, there is at least progre... » read more
