Webinar:
Accurate Power Modeling Methodology to Complement Excel-based Power
Estimates
Introduction
This
Webinar introduces an easy-to-use, accurate and reliable
modeling solution that takes existing Power Spreadsheets and realizes a
Dynamic
Power Model at the beginning stage of product development.
User can
simulate divergent applications and varying workloads on the
exploration model
to size the battery; get charging requirements; determine heat
dissipation;
manage energy consumption during non-use/low-use periods; and determine
battery
life for each use case. The methodology allows users to
trade-off Worst
Case Execution Time against lower power consumption. This
Power Webinar
will benefit systems engineers, hardware architects, power system
designers and
software architects.
During
the Webinar, we will highlight industry examples in
aerospace, automotive, and computing. The presentation will cover the
exploration of new power management techniques using power modes,
dynamic
voltage frequency scaling (DVFS), partial node shut-down, delayed
instrument
scheduling and staggering power assignment to resources.

The
user will learn to:
- Use
existing Spreadsheets as initial data value for the power states, power
levels
and activity durations. Models are refined with dynamic use
cases and
different consumption profiles.
- Assemble
a system model containing batteries (Li-Ion and Lead-Acid); direct
sources of
energy ( solar, nuclear, fuel cells and gasoline); chargers; resources
(motors,
ECU, processors and instruments); and software tasks.
- Select
the right traffic profile, interrupt routines and software offsets to
attain
lowest power consumption
- Interpret
reports on instantaneous and average power consumption, and power
dissipation
- Trade-off
timing, software task assignment and power control
decisions to achieve the target battery life expectation
- Modify
and explore the power management operation using
graphical Finite State Machines
Why
should you attend the Webinar?
The
need for energy conservation is being felt in every walk of
life. Automotive systems are moving to all electric and
hybrid power
generation techniques. Aerospace systems are looking to
reduce weight by
using smaller generators and batteries. Semiconductors, such
as SoC and
Processors, have to worry about the growing data center cooling
expense,
requirement for heat sinks, and larger battery capacity. Today’s power
profiles
are extremely dynamic. Analytical methods provides visibility
into only
the average power consumed.
Power
simulation at the early stage of the design cycle extends
the spreadsheet learning with variable workloads and concurrent
operations and
complex power control finite state machines.
