- The problem of estimating the energy consumption at register transfer level is addressed from an information theoretical point of view. It is shown that the average switching act...
We present techniques for estimating switching activity and power consumption in register-transfer level (RTL) circuits. Previous work on this topic has ignored the presence of gl...
We propose instruction-driven slicing, a new technique for annotating microprocessor descriptions at the Register Transfer Level (RTL) in order to achieve lower power dissipation....

Designs which do not fully utilize their arithmetic datapath components typically exhibit a significant overhead in power consumption. Whenever a module performs an operation who...
In this work, we propose a new paradigm called power emulation, which exploits hardware acceleration to drastically speedup power estimation. Power emulation is based on the obser...
