Accellera Systems Initiative is an independent, not-for profit organization dedicated to create, support, promote, and advance system-level design, modeling, and verification standards for use by the worldwide electronics industry. We are composed of a broad range of members that fully support the work of our technical committee to develop technology standards that are balanced, open, and benefit the worldwide electronics industry. Leading companies and semiconductor manufacturers around the world are using our electronic design automation (EDA) and intellectual property (IP) standards in a wide range of projects in numerous application areas to develop consumer, mobile, wireless, automotive, and other “smart” electronic devices. Through an ongoing partnership with the IEEE, standards and technical implementations developed by Accellera Systems Initiative are contributed to the IEEE for formal standardization and ongoing governance.
From battery operated handhelds to datacenter servers, electronic devices are power consumers. Depending on the application area, total power consumption varies based on the semiconductor (SoC) content used, and the intended purpose for the device. One truth applies to every SoC, power analysis requires a holistic methodology from architectural exploration to tape-out to accurately addresses power concerns.
One of the key factors used to calculate power consumption is the dynamic power that has become increasingly important in technologies such as FinFET. Here the gate area has increased; hence, the load capacitance is larger and the impact of the switching power more pronounced.
In this workshop, join us in exploring the power dynamics shaping the future of the data centric era. We’ll look at new methodologies for power profiling and analysis and their positive impact on meeting power requirements.
