This paper describes compact mathematical models for estimat驴ing the frequency performance and power dissipation of a micro驴processor as a function of the supply voltage. The objective is to estimate the frequency and/or power performance across a wide range of supply voltages and operating frequencies using only a small number of configurable parameters and equations. These compact equations are amenable to hand calculations and spread驴sheet manipulation. The configurable parameters are derived from actual measurements of microprocessor chips and are calculated using the least-squares curve-fitting method.
