Computer Software
Responsibilities
Power Model Ownership: Develop, maintain, and continuously improve a system-level power model that accurately predicts the power consumption of all hardware components and software activities across different operational states and use cases
Load Characterization: Understand, characterize, and model power consumption for a wide array of system loads, including SoCs, CPUs, GPUs, memory, displays, wireless radios, sensors, actuators, and peripherals across varying functional modes
Battery Modeling: Integrate battery model (ESR) into use-case based run time estimates as well as HW system DCR and grounding requirements
Use Case Analysis: Collaborate with product and system architecture teams to define and model various use cases and translate into quantifiable power profiles
Early Power Estimation: Extract and integrate pre-silicon power estimates and power breakdown data for chips under development, providing crucial feedback for architecture choices
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner effectively with various submodule teams (e.g., silicon design, software, firmware, display, camera, wireless, audio, thermal) to gather accurate power consumption data, understand their respective power budgets, and identify optimization opportunities
Benchmarking & Validation: Hand-on measurement of power and performance data from prototypes and compare it against model predictions across HW and SW features. Debug discrepancies, identify root causes, and refine models to improve accuracy and predictive capability
Power Optimization Guidance: Provide data-driven insights and recommendations to hardware and software teams for power reduction strategies, trade-offs, and design optimizations
Documentation: Create and maintain comprehensive documentation for power models, assumptions, methodologies, test procedures, and analysis reports
