I'll be presenting a Net Seminar on both FPGA and HardCopy II power this Thursday, March 11, at 11 am Pacific Standard Time. It'll be a technical presentation, so I believe it'll be of interest to most of the people on this group who have been following the power debate for the last few months.
In this talk, I'll:
- give an overview of how to analyze power accurately
- describe the steps we took to optimize total device power (dynamic + static + IO) in Stratix II
- provide both estimator/specification-based and measured power comparisons between Stratix II and Virtex 4
- describe the power you can expect from Altera's HardCopy II structured ASICs (hint: low :).
