A method of generating system level power information for an embedded application configured to execute on a multi-core system-on-chip (SoC), which includes configuring a simulation model of hardware of the SoC that executes the embedded application; loading one or more software components of the embedded application into the simulation model of the SoC hardware; executing the one or more software components of the embedded application on the simulation model, and extracting state information about both the software components of the embedded application and hardware components of the SoC; determining, from the hardware state information, per-cycle energy values for the hardware components of the SoC; and creating a power profile from the software state information by accumulating the per-cycle energy values and assigning the per-cycle energy values to corresponding software components. |
