AMBA AXI Performance Monitor
The Veriest AMBA AXI Performance Monitor Design IP provides a mechanism for analysis of embedded AMBA AXI fabric latency.
Overview
The Veriest AMBA AXI Performance Monitor Design IP provides a mechanism for analysis of embedded AMBA AXI fabric latency. This gives added visibility to the software in order to debug performance related issues in an SoC in simulation or on a fabricated chip. There is a configurable number of AXI interfaces than can be monitored. The statistics are collected in counters which are visible to the embedded CPU over an APB interface. The channels that are monitored are the write write address, write data, read address and read data.

IMS: Intelligent Hardware Monitoring System for Secure SoCs
In the modern Systems-on-Chip (SoC), the Ad vanced eXtensible Interface (AXI) protocol exhibits security vulnerabilities, enabling partial or complete denial-of-service (DoS) through protocol-violation attacks. The recent counter- measures lack a dedicated real-time protocol semantic analysis and evade protocol compliance checks. This paper tackles this AXI vulnerability issue and presents an intelligent hardware monitoring system (IMS) for real-time detection of AXI protocol violations.
Same Chip, Two Destinies: How Power Profiles Improve With On-Chip Monitoring
What happens to critical power-related considerations when the same chip is handled two different ways, with or without visibility from within? This article begins by examining how the absence of on-chip monitoring impacts peak power, average power, and Di/Dt noise (rate of current change), as illustrated in the diagram below and the subsequent discussion. It then details how these aspects change when in-chip telemetry is available.
Runtime Energy Monitoring for RISC-V Soft-Cores
The authors propose a holistic approach to monitor energy consumption at runtime without the need of running complex (micro-)architectural models. Their approach is based on a measurement board coupled with a FPGA-based System-on-Module.
Silicon-proven LVTS for 2nm: a new era of accuracy and integration in thermal monitoring
Unfortunately, precise thermal monitoring reached an inflection point at 2nm, with traditional solutions proving less practical below 3nm. To tackle the issue, this article delves into a novel approach, accurate to ±1.0°C, that overcomes this critical challenge.
Real-Time ESD Monitoring and Control in Semiconductor Manufacturing Environments With Silicon Chip of ESD Event Detection
Integrated circuits are susceptible to electrostatic discharge (ESD) events. Real-time detection and alerting of ESD events in semiconductor manufacturing environments is the key to achieving well ESD control. Additionally, the magnitude and duration of an ESD event are strongly correlated with the specific type of ESD events.
