This work presents techniques for computing the switching activities of all circuit nodes under pseudorandom or biased input sequences and assuming a zero delay mode of operation....
Excessive power dissipation in integrated circuits causes overheating and can lead to soft errors and or permanent damage. The severity of the problem increases in proportion to t...

In this work, we propose a new paradigm called power emulation, which exploits hardware acceleration to drastically speedup power estimation. Power emulation is based on the obser...
This paper describes the AccuPower toolset -- a set of simulation tools accurately estimating the power dissipation within a superscalar microprocessor. AccuPower uses a true hard...
