    摘要: The time required to estimate the amount of power that will be consumed by a circuit under design is significantly speeded up. Specifically, the steps involved in power estimation (power model evaluation, aggregation) are implemented as power estimation circuitry that is added to the design of the functional circuit during circuit design. The resulting power-model-enhanced circuit is mapped onto a hardware emulation platform, one of whose outputs is a computation of the estimated power computed by the power estimation circuitry during the emulation. As compared to state-of-the-art commercial power estimation tools, speed-ups from around 10-fold to over 500-fold can be realized.
