CONVENED THURSDAY July 30, 2:00pm - 4:00pm | Room 132

TOPIC AREA: SYSTEM-LEVEL AND EMBEDDED


SESSION 9U
USER TRACK: Front-End Power Planning and Analysis
Moderator: Gilda Garreton - Sun Microsystems, Inc., Menlo Park, CA



The first paper presents the experiences of using an automated flow to pre-characterize the power consumption of a set of basic components starting from their behavioral description in C, down to their power estimation at the gate netlist level.  The second paper describes the use of a power noise analysis tool to analyze system power integrity. The third paper describes tool use to integrate complex multi-power/voltage domain design. The fourth paper presents a flexible, high-level power management modeling and simulation framework for power architects.  The fifth paper outlines an exploratory and refinement-based power planning system.
