Wipro Technologies Joins Power Forward Initiative
Power Forward Initiative (PFI) announced that Wipro Technologies has recently joined the initiative and is offering Common Power Format (CPF)-enabled low-power design capabilities to its design services customers worldwide. The PFI membership has now grown to over 30 companies around the world, representing a broad spectrum of semiconductor, IP, EDA, ASIC, design services and manufacturing providers.
Wipro has adopted the Cadence® Design Systems, Inc. Low-Power Solution, which integrates design, verification, and implementation technology with the CPF standard to deliver an end-to-end low-power design solution to IC engineers. By preserving low-power design intent throughout the design process, the solution eliminates laborious manual work, reduces power-related chip failure, and provides power predictability early in the design process, enabling sharing and reuse of low-power intelligence throughout the design process.
"Reducing the energy footprint of electronic products has become an important consideration for ICs and subsystems targeting a wide range of both handheld and wired products," said Vasudevan Aghoramoorthy, vice president, Semiconductor & System Solutions, Wipro Technologies. "Cadence's commitment to driving industry-wide solutions in low power design is in direct alignment with Wipro's own low power design Green initiatives. We are pleased to join Cadence and other industry leaders in this important effort."
"The demand for low power design is growing rapidly in all geographies driven by business and environmental considerations," said Pankaj Mayor, group director of Business Enablement at Cadence Design Systems, Inc. "By joining the Power Forward Initiative, Wipro is affirming their commitment to collaborate with the industry to support customers’ mandates to reduce energy consumption."
