Measuring and Reducing Power Consumption Using Early System-Level Power Modeling Power evaluation in the early stages of the product design has been performed mostly using analytical methods such as spreadsheets. These spreadsheets typically contain the power for different tasks or devices and the sheet adds the worst case or the average of the power. These […]
Optimizing Consumer Electronics Architectures for Low-Power For a consumer application, the response time, display resolution and battery life are the top features. The lifecycle of the battery is directly proportional to its capacity, power spikes and usage profile. The battery size cannot be increased indiscriminately because of cost, space and reliability considerations. Semiconductor power loss […]
Exploring Power Management with Modeling and Simulation using VisualSim Power management has often used the speed/power ratio metric (Mhz per Watt) as a measure of performance/power efficiency. If one processor had a higher Mhz per Watt rating than another, then presumably it would be more power efficient. Within a processor family, this may be true, but the […]
DAC 2024 with Mirabilis Design The Design Automation Conference (DAC) 2024 is just around the corner, taking place from June 23-27 at Moscone West, San Francisco. This premier event brings together industry leaders, innovators, and professionals in semiconductor and electronic design automation. Mirabilis Design, a pioneer in semiconductor and system-level IP development, will be showcasing […]
Folks are always looking forward to simulate benchmarks on different hardware configurations and different processor models. It is not feasible to purchase every prototype board or connect these boards into a chassis to simulate every available option. Architecture simulation enables users to assembles different topologies, hardware configurations, platforms and processor families. Unfortunately most architecture simulation […]
