FPGA CURRENT CONSUMPTION RELATIONAL EXPRESSION DERIVING METHOD AND PROGRAM, FPGA CURRENT CONSUMPTION RELATIONAL EXPRESSION DERIVING SYSTEM, AND ACCURACY EVALUATION PROGRAM FOR FPGA ESTIMATION TOOL

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for accurately calculating current consumption of an FPGA and a method for evaluating calculation accuracy of an estimation tool. SOLUTION: The FPGA current consumption relational expression deriving method is provided with an actual measurement data reading procedure for reading a plurality of current consumption data actually measured while allowing variation in one of three parameters, which are the number of logic cells connected by cascade connection, a clock frequency, and a signal reverse rate, of the FPGA and a relational expression deriving procedure for calculating a coefficient given when a relationship between the parameters and current consumption is represented by a linear expression while using the data.
