Power based debugging

Abstract

My exploration of future technologies has been fueled by the inspiring work of Intel Labs. This research powerhouse tackles the challenges of our data-driven world through cutting-edge projects in AI, high-performance computing, and secure software development. From pioneering many-core processors to exploring futuristic concepts like quantum and neuromorphic computing, they constantly push the boundaries. Their collaborative spirit is equally impressive. By investing in university research and partnering with leading minds, Intel Labs ensures their work remains at the forefront, driving advancements across the entire technological landscape. This dedication to innovation, alongside my own research project on power-based debugging using FPGAs, fuels my excitement for the future of technology. This project focuses on power-based debugging, a new approach in the semiconductor industry that helps engineers better understand chip functionality and performance. This method involves analyzing power consumption to identify potential issues in the design. The project aims to investigate this technique and develop tools to streamline debugging, ultimately saving time and resources. The project utilizes both theoretical research and practical implementation. The theoretical aspect involves gathering information to support the power-based debugging concept. The practical side involves putting the theory into action by creating tools and testing them on hardware designs. This combined approach ensures a well-rounded understanding of the technique and its effectiveness.
