The rapid pace of development in microelectronics enables the semiconductor industry to constantly surpass itself and to offer ever more innovative and complex products and technologies. The most modern areas of development, such as 5G, the Internet of Things (IoT) and automotive, rely on complex, high¬-performance, low-¬power designs....

In many areas of the semiconductor industry, System-on Chip (SoC) power analysis and management is a critical process for maintaining low-power profiles. Due to the complexity of modern SoC designs and the definition of their power management strategies, it iscommon to reuse available resources such as Intellectual Properties (IP) and power...

Early analysis of the Systems-on-Chip (SoC) energy consumption is an increasingly important topic. In addition to estimating "raw" power consumption, it is important to be able to easily test the impact of power management strategies on power consumption of different use-cases. As for other areas in SoC development, reuse of power-aware models...

The Hardware/Software (HW/SW) architectural exploration has become a key component of System on Chip (SoC) design modeling. The insufficient power and timing analysis capabilities at early stages of the design flow limit the optimized modeling. Thus, pushed by the need to improve that shortage and inspired by the numerous studies on Electronic...

The semiconductor industry is developing smaller transistors and succeeding in increasing their on-chip integration density. Therefore, the computing power of modern Integrated Circuits (IC) is constantly increasing and their application domains are becoming countless. However, the increasing complexity leads to higher power consumption and...
