Multi-metric and multi-entity characterization of applications for early system design exploration
Lukai Cai, Andreas Gerstlauer, Daniel D. Gajski · 2005
At system level, intensively analyzing the system application will produce a variety of useful characteristics and provide designers valuable exploration indications. In this paper, we present such an analysis approach based on the instrumentation-based profiling. The proposed approach analyzes complex system application and generates multi-metric and multi-entity characteristics. Experimental results show the applicability of the approach for efficient early design space exploration.
