SANTA CLARA, Calif. — A new power format standards effort emerged here Wednesday (Sept. 13), as the Accellera standards organization held a kickoff meeting for its new Unified Power Format (UPF) ...

Controlling power has its costs. The added power elements and their interactions make verification of low-power designs much more difficult and the engineer’s job overwhelmingly complex and tedious.

Synopsys Inc. has announced a low-power design flow that will implement the Accellera Unified Power Format (UPF) version 1.0 in its IC verification and implementation products in the second half of ...

New IEEE 1801-2015 Unified Power Format (UPF) 3.0 standard enables the creation and reuse of interoperable system-level IP power models Platform Architect with support for IEEE 1801-2015 UPF 3.0 ...

Low power design and verification engineers need a way to continuously probe various dynamic properties of UPF objects in order to monitor the current state of a verification strategy and utilize that ...

Low-power design is a systemic discipline, so it naturally follows that a design flow intended to address low-power design should also approach the task from a holistic point of view. This has been ...
