Abstract

This paper presents a technique used to do power analysis of a real processor at the architectural level. The target processor integrates a 16-bit DSP and a 32-bit RISC on a single chip. Our power estimator provides power consumption data of the architecture based on the instructional data flow stream. We demonstrate the accuracy of the estimator by comparing the power values it produces against measurements made by a gate level power simulator for the same benchmark set. Our estimation approach has been shown to provide very efficient, accurate power analysis at the architectural level.
