Joules – Power Exploration Capabilities

Several tools can generate power reports based on libraries & stimulus. The issue is what's NEXT?

• Is there any scope to improve power consumption of my design?
• What is the best-case power?
• Pin-point hot spots in my design?
• How to recover wasted power?

And here is the solution in form of Joules RTL Power Exploration. Joules’ framework for power exploration and power implementation/recovery is stimulus based, where analysis is done by Joules and is explored/implemented by user.

Power Exploration capabilities include:

• Efficiency metrics
• Pin point RTL location
• Cross probe to stim
• Centralize all power data

 Do you want to explore more? What is the flow? What commands can be used?
