We had the opportunity to work and analyze power for a chiplet system using our DankaChiplet™ software.
The CDX (Chiplet Design eXchange) workstream under Open Compute Project’s ODSA sub-project is actively looking at the problems of chiplet integration. The group has been making pretty good progress toward open formats for exchanging data.
The example is very common system - small IoT device consisting of 7 chiplets, including a micro controller with integrated BLE, accelerometer, heart rate monitor, charger, and more. It included all the components of a typical system - a compute engine, a large energy consuming IO block, a few other small blocks, all getting activated and deactivated at different points in time to perform an operation.
Want to find how we did that? Below is a video of the presentation (you can also find it directly here as the May 8th, 2020 recording) .
But first, special thanks to Jawad Nasrullah for enabling the work by providing the team with the design data.
