Boston, MA 10/02/2014 (wallstreetpr) – According to reports, galaxy design platform of Synopsys, Inc. (NASDAQ:SNPS) is capable of reducing power leakage up to 30%. Recently SNPS made an announcement that Fujitsu Semiconductor Limited managed to maintain industry-leading performance for its top-notched MB86S70 high-performance application processor. Along with continual efficiency, it also saved significant power leakage.
How power optimization goal is achieved:
As per the information, complete power performance goal for Fujitsu Semiconductor Limited could be attained by building leakage-power recovery technologies and physical guidance flow into Synopsys, Inc. (NASDAQ:SNPS)’ Design Compiler Graphical tool. Apart from DCG tool, SNPS also considered PrimeTime signoff tool and IC Compiler place and route for enhancing power performance. As per the reports, 60 million-gate and 28-nanometer world-class design two ARM Cortex-A15 CPUs, four ARM Mali-T624 GPUs and two Cortex-A7 CPUs in a LITTLE processing configuration.
Fujitsu used the big LITTLE approach in order to allow the combination of Cortex-A7 CPUs and Cortex-A15 to deliver the top notched performance and maintain complete power-efficiency throughout. According to Tom Miyake, EVP and CVP of System LSI Company at Fujitsu Semiconductor Ltd., the company will look to achieve higher performance in the near future. The main reason behind success of Galaxy Design Platform is company’s initiative to take advantage of seamless UPF support, power-saving techniques and implementing low power methodology.
At the same time, Noel Hurley, General Manager, CPU group, ARM told reporters that big LITTLE processor configuration was the main reason behind Fujitsu Semiconductor’s efficiency and performance improvement. Energy efficiency of ARM Mali GPUs and ARM Cortex processors can be combined with advanced implementation power-aware design, flow and tools of Synopsys, Inc. (NASDAQ:SNPS). Company can achieve 100% efficiency in leakage control and power optimization by implementing above mentioned process. Fujitsu Semiconductor uses power intent methodology based on UPF for implementing power management techniques like selective shutdown of design blocks and multiple voltage operations.
