将基于综合的处理器作为主要研究对象,通过参数化RTL和物理反标的方法对处理器中的基本单元块提取出功耗值并组成功耗模型库;将处理器各模块映射为基本单元块的组合,利用性能模拟器统计出的模块翻转信息,从而对处理器的功耗做出快速准确的评价.实验结果表明,该方法可以做到与门级网表的真实功耗值误差不到10%,且速度开销很小.
The proposed method is focused on synthesis-based static circuits, and a power modeling library is developed for modeling processors by means of parametric RTL and physical annotation, and all kinds of processor modules are mapped into combinations of basic components. Those models are linked to an architectural simulator, running benchmarks to get power results. The power analysis of benchmark platforms proves to be effective and highly correlated, with an average 10% error and little speed penalty compared with the gate-level power analysis.
