Abstract :
Power estimation on system level is required to enable power optimization. Power closure from system level to implementation is mandatory to get reliable power values. This paper introduces a design environment utilizing metamodeling techniques and supporting consistent power modeling over various design levels. The UPF semantic is applied to align voltage level and supply partitions across the design flow.
