Liberate™ and Variety™: Ultra fast IP Characterization Solutions from Altos Design Automation
This demo provides an in depth look at Liberate™ and Variety™, a new generation of IP characterization products from Altos Design Automation Inc. Utilizing Altos' novel "inside view" approach, the demo shows how characterization can be sped up significantly yet still yield the same accuracy with better model quality that existing approaches. The demo also highlights the challenges of modeling process variation and how Variety enables the creation of statistical timing libraries in order to reduce design guard bands thereby enabling faster timing closure and lower power consumption.
OPENCORES Open RISC demo
The Open RISC embedded processor platform shows both the features and full development platform available
from OpenCores. The open source, Open RISC 1200 processor is highlighted along with the complete GNU development
tool chain including a running applications and booting Linux.
The Power Leakage Issue in SoC Design
In this whiteboard session, Dan Hillman, a Silicon Valley veteran, reviews the sources of dynamic and static leakage and power consumption in SoC designs at 130 and 90
nanometers and compares gate bias and back bias as solutions for the reduction of leakage current.
Empowering SOC Reuse with ViaMask and ViaPath
This demo provides a detailed tour of ViaMask™, an embeddable one-mask structured ASIC fabric that in conjunction with
ViaPath, an easy to use physical implementation software package, empowers you to reuse your valuable IP to serve multiple derivative applications.
