  1. Power Aware Synthesis Virendra Singh Indian Institute of Science Bangalore virendra@computer.org IEP on Digital System Synthesis @ IIT Kanpur

  2. High Level Synthesis • Objective • Area • Performance • Power • Reliability PCS@iitk

  3. Power • Dynamic Power • Static Power • Transitions • Large fraction of transitions incurred during the circuit operation are unnecessary • Suppressing or eliminating unnecessary transitions PCS@iitk

  4. Power Reduction Techniques • Techniques • Clock gating • Partitioning of circuits • Scheduling – to maximize idle time • Maximize the sleep time of storage elements PCS@iitk

  5. Power Reduction Techniques During the control steps in which functional unit is utilized to perform some operation is said to be active During other control steps, the functional unit is said to be idle The manner in which register sharing is performed can significantly affect the unnecessary power dissipation (spurious switching) in functional units during their idle cycle PCS@iitk

  6. Effect of Register Sharing Architectural Model Register Allocation and variable assignment Effect on switching activity Spurious switching activities can sometimes be eliminated without increasing the number of registers in synthesized circuit PCS@iitk
