A Power Consumption Estimation Approach for Embedded Software Design using Trace Analysis

This paper presents a lightweight and cost-effective approach to power estimation suitable for software developers. It relies on trace analysis and high-level modeling of architectures to perform quick and efficient power consumption estimations without loosing accuracy. 

Aspects of the approach:

• Relies on trace analysis and high-level modeling of architectures to perform quick and efficient power consumption estimations without loosing accuracy
• Fully supported by a tool and is validated using a simple thermal mitigation case study and checked against physical measurements
• Objects are modeled, packaged and connected using IP-XACT
• The relative error between approach and real measured values was 8% on average
