The promise of high-level synthesis (HLS) is a powerful one: the ability to generate production-quality register transfer level (RTL) implementations from high-level specification. In other words, HLS ...

Clock gating is one of the most frequently used techniques in RTL to reduce dynamic power consumption without affecting the functionality of the design. One method involves inserting gating conditions ...

Design reuse and IP-based design are established design practices enabling fast integration of large-scale, high-complexity systems. But while silicon potential keeps improving through node shrinks, ...

Electronic Design Automation: design tools for embedded systems, hardware-software integration, digital circuit theory, synthesis and verification of digital systems. “Power Analysis for Embedded ...

All power optimization tools can perform combinational optimization, where there is an opportunity to gate a register clock input, based on the combinational logic that is feeding the register’s data ...

Systems on chip (SoC) and processor design teams are challenged to meet aggressive power, performance and area requirements. As chip complexity grows, teams must verify thousands of lines of code to ...
