Abstract
A method for reducing power consumption by using power estimation data obtained from at the gate-level for a core's representative input stimuli data (instructions), and propagating the power estimation data to a higher (object-oriented) system-level model, which is parameterizable and executable. Depending on the kind of cores, various parameterizable look-up table techniques are used to facilitate self-analyzing core models. As a result, the method is faster than gate-level power estimation techniques and power-related system-level design decisions.
