Unifying Low Power Design with UPF

Power is the number one design driver. Multiple solutions have evolved for capturing low power design intent, verification and implementation. The incompatible solutions create redundant work and potential for bugs through inconsistency and obsolescence. This tutorial covers the Unified Power Format (UPF), an open standard developed by Accellera, and how it can be used throughout a low power design flow.
