    摘要: Methods and systems are provided in which logic cores from different third party core providers can be integrated for use with a single logic core generator. Core information from the various core providers is collected and formatted into a format that can be utilized by the single logic core generator. The information that is collected comprises at least one, and typically a number of different files. In some embodiments, the relevant core information is captured through the use of a graphical user interface (GUI) that guides particular core providers through a series of dialogs that capture the information. A formatting computer then takes the information and formats it into a form that can be utilized by the particular logic core generator. In the described embodiment, the information is formatted into at least one XCD file, which can then be utilized by the logic core generator. The newly-formatted cores can then be distributed to particular users for use with the core generator.

    摘要: Approaches for estimating power consumption of a circuit based on a circuit design. For one or more modules of the design, data are input that indicate measured power consumption and circuit resources used by the one or more modules. For one or more other parts of the design, values of parameters are input that specify an operating speed and a resource count. Process-corner, voltage, and temperature values are input. An estimated level of power consumption is determined as a function of the measured power consumption, the values of the parameters, and the values of the process-corner, voltage, and temperature. Data indicative of the estimated level of power consumption are output.

    摘要: Approaches for estimating power consumption of an electronic circuit from values of configuration parameters. A user is prompted for values of a first subset of the configuration parameters in a first user interface window that is separate from a second user interface window that provides default values of a second subset of the configuration parameters. An estimated level of power consumption of the electronic circuit is determined by a computer as a function of the user-entered values of the first subset of parameters and the default values of the second subset of parameters. The estimated level of power consumption, the user-entered values of the first subset of parameters, and the default values of the second subset of parameters are simultaneously displayed in a third user interface window. The values of both the first subset and second subset of parameters are editable in the third user interface window.
