Abstract

A computer-aided method for configuring a hardware verification system is presented. The method includes receiving, by the computer, a first data representative of a first design of an integrated circuit, when the computer is invoked to configure the verification system, and transforming, using the computer, the first data into a second data representative of a second design. The second design includes a functionality of the first design, and a first circuit adapted to compute a third data representative of a power consumption of a first portion of the first design when the hardware verification system is configured with the second data and run. The first circuit is programmable without reconfiguring the second design.
