Si2 to Host Low Power Coalition Tutorial at DesignCon 2009

The Silicon Integration Initiative (Si2) announced a Low Power Coalition Tutorial being hosted at the DesignCon Conference to be held at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, CA. The “Low Power Flows and Formats, From ESL to Implementation” Tutorial will be held on Monday, February 2, 1:30 pm – 4:30 pm in Room 203 in the Santa Clara Convention Center.

Green technologies, including low power design, have been identified as critical areas for design flow improvement in IC and system design. This three hour tutorial is intended to review the progress made to date in the areas of low power design formats and to expose and acknowledge the challenges remaining for full interoperability between those formats. Detailed presentations on advances in low power design understanding will be made at the workshop and specific areas of interoperability that remain will be addressed. Advances in Power Aware design flows and Low power design techniques will be presented and supporting documents and technologies will be made available. The tutorial will conclude with a panel discussion on “What does interoperability mean?” The goal of the tutorial is to enhance industry understanding of the state of low power design capabilities today and the remaining challenges to full interoperability of low power design flows that will need to be addressed.
