Convex Optimization of Real Time SoC
Convex optimization methods are employed to optimize a real-time (RT)
system-on-chip (SoC) under a variety of physical resource-driven constraints,
demonstrated on an industry MPEG2 encoder SoC. The power optimization is
compared to conventional performance-optimization framework, showing a factor
of two and a half saving in power. Convex optimization is shown to be very
efficient in a high-level early stage design exploration, guiding computer
architects as to the choice of area, voltage, and frequency of the individual
components of the Chip Multiprocessor (CMP).Comment: 6 pages, 3 figure
