PITTSBURGH, July 1, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Driven by the
growing demand for energy-efficient handheld and smart devices,
engineers using solutions from ANSYS, Inc. (NASDAQ: ANSS) with
emulation can now deliver up to a 4.5X performance boost for
early power profiling compared to the traditional file based data
approach without compromising accuracy. This solution allows early
and accurate register transfer level (RTL) power budgeting of
real-time applications such as operating system and firmware boot
up, 1080p and ultra-high definition video frames.
ANSYS® PAVES™ (PowerArtist Vector
Streaming™) socket interface combined with Mentor's
Veloce® Power Application software demonstrates the
first delivery of highly effective data streaming capability. This
allows designers to identify high power consumption areas in the
design for application-level scenarios and enables them to perform
better power exploration and tradeoff early at the RTL level.
ANSYS® PACE's™ (PowerArtist™ Calibration and
Estimation™) unique technology provides physical-aware RTL power
analysis that further enhances accuracy. It demonstrated a 10% RTL
clock power accuracy compared to gate-level analyses for 16 and
14-nanometer (nm) designs.
"PowerArtist PAVES is an innovative technology that makes rapid
power analysis of complex real-world application scenarios
possible," said Vic Kulkarni, vice
president and general manager, ANSYS. "By connecting through Veloce
Application Dynamic Read Waveform API, customers are able to reach
faster power closure with greater confidence."
"Mentor has redefined the power analysis flow with Veloce Power
Application and the new Dynamic Waveform Read API," said
Eric Selosse, vice president and
general manager of the Mentor Emulation Division. "We are pleased
with the close collaboration with ANSYS that allows customers to
achieve more accurate power analysis using Veloce and
PowerArtist."
