low power

And when this key architectural decision might involve combining both depending on your design’s use-case and demands placed upon it.

UPF provides a useful way to describe the power-management strategies that should be applied to a design, but using it introduces a number of challenges during low-power debugging.

Andy Ladd highlights the wide range of peak-power concerns around plugged-in devices.

How emulation was used to debug out-of-spec power on a multicore ARM design using the AXI bus.

SSD controllers are becoming increasingly complex and as a result emulation is now the first choice for SSD verification. But your strategy must still meet five key criteria.

Many IoT applications have a very strict energy budget. SoC designers targeting the IoT have to trade off providing the features that the market demands with the power budget the applications demand. What are their options?

More protocols, multibillion-gate designs, minimized power, burgeoning software and, for networking, hundreds of switch and router ports emphasize the need for scalable, virtualized emulation.

Formal techniques can be applied to various parts of the verification challenge, including low-power and clock domain-crossing issues

The argument for an integrated approach to SoC verification

The fourth installment discusses the extra levels of debug capability available when using virtual prototypes through the example of an ARM big.LITTLE-based embedded system.
