Interactive datasheet system

摘要

A user interface is provided for selection of a previously specified scenario from a plurality of previously specified scenarios. Each previously specified scenario includes a previously specified topology of the electronic system, one or more previously specified parameter values applied to the electronic system, a previously specified traffic profile, and respective precompiled values of one or more measurands. In response to user selection of one of the previously specified scenarios, the precompiled values of the measurands are displayed. The user interface further provides for specification of a scenario. In response to user specification of a scenario, traffic emulation circuitry in the programmable IC is configured to execute the scenario. The value of the at least one measurand is computed and displayed.

1. A method of estimating performance of an electronic system on a programmable integrated circuit (IC), comprising:
providing a user interface for selection of a previously specified scenario from a plurality of previously specified scenarios, wherein each previously specified scenario includes a previously specified topology of the electronic system, one or more previously specified parameter values applied to the electronic system, a previously specified traffic profile, and respective precompiled values of a plurality of measurands including at least a read latency and a write latency; wherein the programmable IC includes a processor and programmable logic resources; in response to user selection of one of the previously specified scenarios, reading from a database respective precompiled values of the measurands associated with the one scenario and displaying the respective precompiled values of the measurands; wherein the user interface further provides for specification of a scenario, including specification of a topology of the electronic system, specification of one or more parameter values to apply to the electronic system, specification of a traffic profile, and selection of at least one measurand; wherein specification of the traffic profile includes specification of a selectable ratio of read transactions and write transactions and a selectable one of a linear addressing mode or a random addressing mode; in response to user specification of a scenario, configuring traffic emulation circuitry in the programmable IC to execute the specified scenario; emulating the system with the traffic emulation circuitry configured to execute the specified scenario, the emulating including generating stimuli and measuring responses for determining a value of the at least one measurand; computing the value of the at least one measurand; storing the computed value of the at least one measurand in association with the specified scenario in the database; and displaying the computed value of the at least one measurand.
