A General Approach to High-Level Energy and Performance Estimation in SoCs

摘要

We present a high-level methodology for efficient and accurate estimation of energy and performance in SoCs at Functional Untimed Level. We then validate the proposed method against gate level for accuracy and against TLM-PV for speed. We show that the method is within 15 % of gate-level accuracy and in average 28x faster than TLM-PV, for the benchmark applications selected.
