Compiler-assisted technique for rapid performance estimation of FPGA-based processors
Yan Lin Aung, Siew-Kei Lam, Thambipillai Srikanthan · 2011
This paper proposes a compiler-assisted technique to rapidly estimate performance of a wide range of FPGA processors without requiring actual execution on target processor or ISS. Experimental results show that this technique estimates performance of a widely-used FPGA processor with an average error of 2% in the order of seconds.
