System-level energy estimation with Powersim
Marco Giammarini, Massimo Conti, Simone Orcioni · 2011
The present paper proposes a SystemC class library aimed to the calculation of energy consumption of hardware described at system level. To this end C++ operators are monitored and different energy models are used for each data type. This method does not require any change in the application source code. An application example with measures is proposed.
