​With Innergy Quarx

​
Find and Fix Power Issues
​

in Minutes

Innergy's models run 30x - several 100x faster
​

Our patented technology builds the action-power models to run at a high level of abstraction without requiring gate simulations. This means the models run in a fraction of the time required with traditional tools.

Models are highly accurate 
 

Innergy's models have been consistently benchmarked against leading signoff power tools. Our models achieve a typical accuracy of 95% or better when compared to the power data used to build the models.

Get to root causes immediately

Innergy Quarx comes with a built-in capability to show the power consumption of any action, function, task, feature etc. within your design. For example it can show the power cost of a cache hit/miss, CPU opcode, table lookup, or a subroutine.

This means you can get an indication of root causes of power consumption quickly within your design. This intelligence is valuable when debugging a large design with hundreds of design blocks running concurrently. 
​
Innergy Quarx can generate many power reports including:

• Highest power consuming actions
• Peak and average power reports for the actions
• Peak power report with contributing actions for every peak
• Ratio of highest versus lowest power action for a given module (to help identify logic gating opportunities)
• Clock and power gating opportunities
• Customized power reports.

Early and quick 'what-if' power exploration            

Action-power models may be used to explore the power effects of changes in architecture, design parameters or throughput.
Innergy power models come with built-in control 'knobs' to change voltage, frequency, throughput (by changing action densities), and much more.
​
​Since 'what-if' exploration relies on model generated scenarios, you can complete most exploration tasks in under a minute.

Both brand new designs as well as evolutionary designs are supported.

Following are a few examples of what you can explore early in your design process.

• High/medium/low traffic impact on power
• Power v/s performance analysis
• Voltage and frequency scaling
• Clock gating changes
• Changes to architecture

Customer Results (Memory Controller)

For a custom protocol memory controller block used in a large packer processor, Innergy estimated a 24.9% reduction in peak power with only 3.6% nominal performance loss.
These results were validated in simulations at full chip level.

Embeddable RTL for real-time power monitoring 

Innergy Quarx can generate synthesizable, embeddable RTL of the power models built for your design. These can be used to monitor power in real time, providing feedback to your software or hardware.
​Power and performance balance may be achieved within your system using the fine-grained information from the embedded power monitors.
