Fadu Adopts Baum’s Power Analysis Suite for Next Gen SSD Controllers
PowerBaum automatically generates high-level power models from design sources and applies advanced learning techniques of gate-level behavior to achieve high accuracy.
This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on July 19, 2019 at 1:56 pmFadu announced that it will use Baum, Inc.‘s power analysis suite of software to lower both peak power and average power consumption of their future designs.
The company will deploy PowerBaum, to its design teams allowing them to identify and fix power issues in their PCIe NVMe SSD controllers.
This SSD controllers address all segments of enterprise storage, from low-power M.2 targeting datacenters to performance U.2 targeting enterprise solutions. Thanks to the firm’s architecture, Annapurna is a flexible solution for the SSD industry. The company sets a standard for NVMe SSD controllers.
“Performance is not enough. It’s easy to develop high performance SSD devices without constraints, but existing controllers suffer from thermal and power issues,” stated Peter Nam, CTO, Fadu, “PowerBaum provides the necessary capabilities we need to design the most power and thermally efficient SSD devices in the industry.“
“Baum is delighted to provide FADU with the power analysis tools they need to optimize the power and thermal efficiency of their future designs,” remarks Andy Ladd, CEO, Baum. “PowerBaum’s very high-speed and assurance of implementation accuracy combine for an ideal power analysis solution across FADU’s entire development phase.”
Latest version of PowerBaum
PowerBaum automatically generates high-level power models from design sources and applies advanced learning techniques of gate-level behavior to achieve high accuracy. It power models run in higher abstraction environments, such as RTL simulation, ESL (virtual prototypes), and hardware emulation to achieve orders of magnitude performance improvement compared to competing solutions. Baum’s automated power analysis and power modeling solutions supports both dynamic and static power, taking in register transfer level (RTL) and netlist descriptions of the design.
PowerBaum 2.1 is shipping and available.
