Wipro Tech joins Power Forward Initiative

BANGALORE, INDIA: Power Forward Initiative (PFI) today announced that Wipro Technologies has recently joined the initiative and is offering Common Power Format (CPF)-enabled low-power design capabilities to its design services customers worldwide.

PFI, an industry initiative sponsored by Cadence Design Systems, has the goal of enabling the design and production of more power-efficient electronic devices.

Now its membership has now grown to over 30 companies around the world, representing a broad spectrum of semiconductor, IP, EDA, ASIC, design services and manufacturing providers, said a press release.

Wipro has adopted the Cadence Design Systems, Inc. Low-Power Solution, which integrates leading-edge design, verification, and implementation technology with the widely deployed CPF standard to deliver an end-to-end low-power design solution to IC engineers.

By preserving low-power design intent throughout the design process, the solution eliminates laborious manual work, reduces power-related chip failure, and provides power predictability early in the design process, enabling sharing and reuse of low-power intelligence throughout the design process, the release said.

“Reducing the energy footprint of electronic products has become an important consideration for ICs and subsystems targeting a wide range of both handheld and wired products,” said Ron Burns, general manager Semiconductor and System Solutions, Wipro Technologies.

“By joining the Power Forward Initiative, Wipro is affirming their commitment to collaborate with the industry to support customers’ mandates to reduce energy consumption,” said Pankaj Mayor, group director of Business Enablement at Cadence Design Systems, Inc.
