<p>Methods, apparatuses, and computer readable media for utilizing a single model of event-based energies at multiple hierarchical levels of a design. The event-based energy model contains multiple interfaces that access or reference lower level power data, such as pin-based power data. The power of a transaction level definition of a design is estimated using the event-based energy model. The transaction-level definition of the design uses indirect references to access the event-based energy model. Other abstraction levels of the design may have their power estimated using the same low-level event-based energy model. Overall, a consistent power estimation of a design is performed using the same event-based energy model at different levels of abstraction of the design flow.</p> |
