Abstract

This new approach characterizes power dissipation on complex DSPs. Its processor model relies on an initial functional-level power analysis of the target processor together with a characterization that qualifies the more significant architectural and algorithmic parameters for power dissipation. These parameters come from a simple profiling of the assembly code. This functional model accounts for deeply pipelined, superscalar, and hierarchical memory architectures.
