Analysis of nanometric ICs
Many products today are only possible because of integrated electronics. The design of smaller and smaller, yet more powerful, embedded hardware and software systems provides industry and research with new challenges. These arise both from the rapidly advancing manufacturing technology, enabling more complex system architectures at a very small space, but also from the increasing demands of modern applications in processing speed and energy efficiency.
Since many years, OFFIS researches modeling, analysis, optimization and the automated synthesis of embedded HW / SW systems for performance, energy consumption, production, aging, area, and ultimately cost. For this purpose, the ANI research group developed tools, such as the synthesis tool ORINOCO / PowerOpt and tools for the prediction of temperature and aging effects.
