Real Intent Presents Power-related Paper And Tutorial At ISQED 2013 Symposium

W

ho:

Dr. Vinod Viswanath, Senior Member Technical Staff at Real Intent, along with experts from Intel Corp. and University of Texas Austin.

What:

Present a joint paper, On a Rewriting Strategy for Dynamically Managing Power Constraints and Power Dissipation in SoCs, covering a novel and highly automated technique for dynamic system-level power management of SoC designs. It includes a formal system to represent power constraints and power intent as rules, and a term rewriting systems-based rule that rewrites the engine as a dynamic power manager. Two fundamental building blocks provide a common platform for seamless cooperation between hardware and software constraints to achieve maximum platform power optimization dynamically during execution, as demonstrated in multiple contexts on an SoC design of the state-of-the-art next-generation Intel smartphone platform.

Vinod also presents a tutorial, with experts from Intel India, covering a trend to maximize power optimization: Holistic Power Management: The Future of Handhelds and other Low Power Devices. It delves into power efficiency as a growing concern for all aspects of computing systems – from very small, highly integrated SoC-based handheld devices to larger systems including servers and many-core high-performance computing systems. It also addresses the challenges of a unified specification of power intent across all design abstraction levels; power optimization and holistic power management techniques; and the challenges of verifying such a system. Real life examples from Intel’s experience in designing some of its latest handheld devices are used.
