Abstract :
A proposed modular framework for assessing power consumption of embedded systems early in the design cycle can be extended to any performance metric and uses a high level of abstraction, leading to a faster execution time. Experimental results indicate that the approach is within 20 percent of gate-level estimation and executes three orders of magnitude faster.
