Finding an available plug these days is not. A year ago, before the surge (no pun intended) in electric vehicle popularity, it used to be relatively easy to find a parking spot and a plug at most high-tech companies. In fact, sometimes it was the only available spot. In recent months that’s changed. It’s getting harder and much more stressful. ... <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140626101544/http://semiengineering.com/wheres-juice/">» read more</a> </div> <br/> <hr/> <br/> </div> </div> <div class="row"> <div class="col-md-12"> <div class="loop_post_title_wrapper"> <h2 class="post_title_a"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140626101544/http://semiengineering.com/power-optimization-requires-higher-level-thinking-2/" title="Power Optimization Requires Higher-Level Thinking">Power Optimization Requires Higher-Level Thinking</a></h2> <div class="loop_post_meta"> By <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140626101544/http://semiengineering.com/author/ann/">Ann Steffora Mutschler</a> - 12 Sep, 2013 - Comments: 0 - <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140626101544/http://semiengineering.com/category/low-power-high-performance/" title="View all posts in Low Power-High Performance">Low Power-High Performance</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140626101544/http://semiengineering.com/category/top-stories/" title="View all posts in Top Stories">Top Stories</a>, </div> </div> <div class="post_excerpt"> <div class="social_sharing"> <div class="social_sharing_panel"> <div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style"> <a fb:like:layout="button_count" class="addthis_button_facebook_like" addthis:url="http://semiengineering.com/power-optimization-requires-higher-level-thinking-2/" addthis:title="Power Optimization Requires Higher-Level Thinking"></a> </div> </div> <div class="social_sharing_panel"> <div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style" addthis:url="http://semiengineering.com/power-optimization-requires-higher-level-thinking-2/" addthis:title="Power Optimization Requires Higher-Level Thinking"> <a class="addthis_button_tweet"></a> </div> </div> <div class="social_sharing_panel"> <div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style"> <a class="addthis_button_email" addthis:url="http://semiengineering.com/power-optimization-requires-higher-level-thinking-2/" addthis:title="Power Optimization Requires Higher-Level Thinking"></a> <a class="addthis_button_linkedin" addthis:url="http://semiengineering.com/power-optimization-requires-higher-level-thinking-2/" addthis:title="Power Optimization Requires Higher-Level Thinking"></a> <a class="addthis_button_google_plusone" addthis:url="http://semiengineering.com/power-optimization-requires-higher-level-thinking-2/" addthis:title="Power Optimization Requires Higher-Level Thinking"></a> <a class="addthis_counter addthis_pill_style" addthis:url="http://semiengineering.com/power-optimization-requires-higher-level-thinking-2/" addthis:title="Power Optimization Requires Higher-Level Thinking"></a> </div> </div> <div class="clearfix"></div> </div> By Ann Steffora Mutschler With consumer demand—much of it for power sensitive mobile devices—driving the bulk of semiconductor design activity, it would seem obvious that the way chips are designed would have changed to reflect that.
