Abstract
A method is provided for architectural integrated circuit power estimation. The method may include receiving a plurality of respective energy events, receiving a plurality of base-level energy models, and generating a plurality of power models. Each power model may hierarchically instantiate one or more of the base-level energy models. The method may further include mapping each respective energy event to one or more of the plurality of power models. The method may further include hierarchically evaluating a particular base-level energy model corresponding to a given respective energy event, estimating an energy associated with evaluation of the particular base-level energy model, and accumulating the energy in a power estimate corresponding to the given respective energy event.
