Power consumption impacts multiple applications and markets such as handheld, workstations, and servers to name a few. Because the greatest opportunities for optimizing power are at the micro-architecture and RTL design stages, the PowerPro Platform provides an interactive approach to power exploration and power reduction at RTL. This platform uses a unique architecture that eliminates iterations through simulation and synthesis, giving immediate power feedback. This web seminar will show how PowerPro easily identifies where power is wasted; from the micro-architectural level to memory, register, and combinational elements. The platform provides “what-if” analysis, interactively assessing the impact on power due to potential design transformations.
Technical Product Management Director
Stuart is responsible for Catapult HLS Synthesis and Verification Solutions since July 2017. Prior to this role, Stuart had been successfully managing the North American FAE team for Mentor/Siemens and Calypto Design Systems and was key to the growth achieved for the CSD products after the Calypto acquisition. Moving from the UK in 2001 to work at Mentor Graphics, Stuart held the position of Technical Marketing Engineer, initially on the Precision RTL synthesis product for 6 years and later on Catapult for 5 years. He has held various engineering and application engineering roles ASIC and FPGA RTL hardware design and verification. Stuart graduated from Brunel University, London, with a Bachelors of Science.
