METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR EFFICIENTLY PERFORMING RTL POWER ESTIMATION

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enhance the efficiency and scalability of a power estimation tool for large-scale RTL circuit design. SOLUTION: In a method for accelerating power estimation of a circuit, RTL description of the circuit is generated, power model expansion RTL description of the circuit is generated, a simulator to be executed is selected, the power model extension RTL description is changed to the contents suitable for the simulator and power consumption of the circuit is estimated by executing the simulator.
