Abstract
In this work, the primary motivation comes from the intellectual property (IP) reuse concept. Based on the IP reuse methodology, IP information should be able to be involved to cope with more design issues and concerns. We introduce such reuse concepts into the system-level power estimation problem. So we extend some new perspectives based on the basic concept on this work. We use the RTL macro-modeling concept to perform the power consumption measurement of atomic operations or primitive operations and then model the system-level modules using SystemC based on the power consumption information of atomic operations or primitive operations. According to experiment and simulation results, we can rely on the abstraction at the system level to provide a high speed simulation environment. Comparing with the RTL approach, our system-level power estimation approach is able to provide similar accuracy while reduce the estimation cost or simulation cost to some degree depending on the complexity of simulation environments and architectures.
