In this paper, we introduce GroundHog 2009 benchmarking suite that can be used to evaluate the power consumption of reconfigurable technology implementing applications targeting the mobile computing domain. This benchmark suite includes seven designs; one design targets fine-grained FPGA fabrics, and six designs are specified ata high level, which allows them to target a range of reconfigurabletechnologies. Each of the six designs can be stimulatedwith synthetically generated input stimuli created bya tool included in the suite. Additionally, another tool canhelp verify the correctness of each implemented design. Finally,we use our benchmark suite to evaluate the powerconsumption of two modern FPGAs targeting the mobiledomain.
