System level SoC Power Modeling
System Level SOC Power Modeling with VisualSim In the intricate realm of System-on-Chip (SoC) design, optimizing power is paramount. This article series begins by introducing VisualSim, a versatile simulation tool, as a powerful contender in the domain of SoC power modeling and optimization. VisualSim enables system-level SoC power modeling even before delving into the intricacies […]
Adaptive Voltage & Frequency Scaling
AVFS: System Level Modeling Modern SOCs employ multiple power management strategies either at individual IP level or full SOC level. One such strategy is adaptive voltage and frequency scaling (AVFS).In AVFS, a closed-loop feedback system is implemented between the voltage scaling power supply and delay-sensing performance monitor on the SoC.The on-chip performance monitor not only […]
Artificial Intelligence to Address Real Challenges in System Design
VisualSim Artificial Intelligence (AI)-Driven Processor Generator VisualSim AI-Driven Processor Generator experiments with different design configurations, and runs simulations. It then selects the optimal configuration that meets the performance and power constraints. Recommendations are made based on the statistics generated from the simulation. These provide a closer inspection of the components, and the sources of bottlenecks. […]
Why do we need system modeling?
To cause a system upgrade, we must first understand what we are attempting to change as a system, which necessitates the creation of a system model of it. We think of a system as just a summation of its parts and thus requires no special attention. It is necessary to change our approach in which […]
