RTL Bus Encoding and Memory Partitioning

Another application included in the PowerChecker environment is CoolBus, the tool for the analysis and the optimization of power consumption of the bus lines. These elements of the a chip are responsible of a great amount of power consumption, because the high capacitance value associated to these wires. In these last years the importance of the bus consumption is getting more and more important, because of the increasing of the chip dimension and the progressive advance of the technology. Coolbus is completely integrated in PowerChecker and can be effortlessly called both in the textual and graphical interface.
