3 Musts for Reducing RTL Power
3 Musts for Reducing RTL Power
By Ghulam Nurie and Abhishek Ranjan
Power management has emerged as a major design challenge in chip design today. The new importance of power consumption is not only coming from the increased proliferation of mobile devices, where extending battery life offers a huge competitive edge, but also from databanks and ( Read more... ) -

CRC Lookup Tables
Lookup Tables. The "hardware" method of computing CRCs involves bit manipulations, which is very inefficient for a software computation. Instead of computing the CRC bit-by-bit, a 256-element lookup table can be used to perform the equivalent of 8 bit operations at a time. (This is described in "Byte-wise CRC Calculations" in IEEE Micro, June ( Read more... )
