Atrenta Introduces Early PPA Analysis at ARM TechCon 2011

What:

Using ARM’s AMBA® Designer and its SpyGlass® and GenSys® product families, Atrenta will demonstrate how to perform Early PPA analysis on AMBA-based designs.    

When:

Tuesday, October 25, 2011 

Where:

ARM TechCon 2011, Santa Clara Convention Center, Santa Clara, CA. Table #19 

Why:

Defining the correct interconnect architecture for complex system on chip (SoC) designs can be challenging, requiring multiple back-end iterations. Early PPA analysis can reduce these iterations by helping to answer questions about the design up-front, such as: 

1. What is the performance, power and area of the SoC being planned (PPA)?  

2. Can “what-if” analysis be quickly performed to zoom-in on a high-confidence architecture?  

3. Can I capture architectural intent, validate it and provide forward guidance for implementation?

Quickly and accurately identify inter-domain leakage issues in IC designs

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

Power domain leakage is a major IC reliability issue, often missed by traditional tools. This white paper describes challenges of identifying leakage, types of false results, and presents Siemens EDA’s Insight Analyzer. The tool proactively finds true leakage paths, filters out false positives, and helps circuit designers quickly fix risks—enabling more robust, reliable chip designs. With detailed, context-aware analysis, designers save time and improve silicon quality.
