Abstract
We analyze the integration of an RT-level power estimation tool, RTPOW into an industrial design flow. We address important practical issues such as the extraction of structural and functional information and the use of simulation data to derive probabilistic information. We present the results obtained with RTPOW on a realistic design that demonstrates the effectiveness of our tool
