There's been a shift in what's needed in modeling standards for IC design. The focus has moved from timing to power consumption. Timing modeling, which dominated much of the effort from the early to ...

Power is becoming a more important aspect of semiconductor design, but without an industry standard for power models, adoption is likely to be slow and fragmented. That is why Si2 and the IEEE decided ...

Simulations are an important part of the verification cycle in the process of hardware designing. It can be performed at varying degrees of physical abstraction: In many companies RTL simulations is ...
