Abstract:
Systems or methods of the present disclosure may provide for implementing design software that is used to design a configuration for a programmable fabric of a programmable logic device. Implementing the design software includes receiving, at a processor, design configuration details for the configuration. Implementing the design software also includes receiving, at the processor, a plurality of constraints including a thermal constraint for the configuration. Moreover, implementing the design software comprises performing thermal aware resource selection based at least in part on the thermal constraint. Furthermore, implementing the design software includes causing the programmable logic device to be operated to stay within the thermal constraint.
Abstract:
A method for estimating power consumption of a design block of an integrated circuit includes obtaining power consumption data from designs of older-generation microprocessors, selecting a set of power consumption parameters, applying a curve-fitting technique on the obtained power consumption data for the selected set of power consumption parameters, creating a new power consumption model based on the curve-fitting technique and one or more of the power consumption parameters, using the model at a register transfer level of a newer-generation microprocessor to represent estimates of register transfer level power consumption of the newer-generation microprocessor, and outputting the register transfer level power consumption estimates based on the model.
