Abstract : We present a power optimization methodology that provides a fast and accurate power model for programmable architectures. The approach is based on a new tool that estimates power consumption from a register transfer level (RTL) module description, activity files and technology library. It efficiently provides an instruction-level accurate power model and allows design space exploration for the register file. We demonstrate a 19% improvement for a standard RISC processor.

Keywords : Register files Register transfer level RISC processors Programmable architectures Power Optimization Power estimations Instruction-level Design space exploration
