There's been a shift in what's needed in modeling standards for IC design. The focus has moved from timing to power consumption. Timing modeling, which dominated much of the effort from the early to ...

Analyzing and managing power at the system level is becoming more difficult and more important—and slow to catch on. There are several reasons for this. First, design automation tools have lagged ...

Power is becoming a more important aspect of semiconductor design, but without an industry standard for power models, adoption is likely to be slow and fragmented. That is why Si2 and the IEEE decided ...
