Abstract

In this paper, we propose a novel system-level power modeling methodology that allows for very fast joint power-performance evaluation at specification phase. This methodology adopts approximately-timed task-accurate performance models and augments them with power-state-based power models to enable efficient simulation. A flexible method is also proposed to model complex dynamic power management policies so that their effects can be evaluated. We validate the accuracy of our methodology by comparing simulation results with measurements on a real mobile phone platform. Experimental results show that the simulated power profile matches very well with the measurements and it only takes about 100 ms to simulate a 20 ms GSM paging burst use case.
