A Power Estimation Framework for Designing Low Power Portable Video Applications

This paper presents a power evaluation framework designed for estimating power consumption of a new video telephone compression standard, ITU-H.263, at the system level. A hierarchical, mixed-level simulation environment is built and cycle-accurate power macro-modeling is used for the architectural power evaluation. Experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed framework and models.
