PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for estimating power consumption of a semiconductor integrated circuit of a processor on which an MMU(memory managing unit) and a cache memory are mounted and to convert a logical address into a physical address at an architecture level at high speed in the processor. SOLUTION: This method is preliminarily provided with pieces of power consumption information by every MMU operation of an MMU part 1302, write-back and right-through modes are distinguished, power consumption information by every cache operation including start of write of dirty data is provided, power consumption information of a CPU part 1301 by every instruction for a cache part 1303. Power to be consumed in the entire object circuit of simulation is calculated from the pieces of power consumption information during execution or after completion of simulation.
