conference paper Fabian Mischkalla author Wolfgang Müller author 16243 672 department 23rd International Workshop on Power and Timing Modeling, Optimization and Simulation (PATMOS) Faced with increasing demands on energy efficiency, current electronic systems operate according to complex power management schemes including more and more fine-grained voltage frequency scaling and power shutdown scenarios. Consequently, validation of the power design intent should begin as early as possible at electronic system-level (ESL) together with first executable system specifications for integrity tests. However, today's system-level design methodologies usually focus on the abstraction of digital logic and time, so that typical low-power aspects cannot be considered so far. In this paper, we present a high-level modeling approach on top of the SystemC/TLM standard to simulate power distribution and voltage based implications in a "loosely-timed" functional execution context. The approach reuses legacy TLM models and prevents the need for detailed lock-step process synchronization in contrast to existing methods. A case study derived from an open source low-power design demonstrates the efficiency of our approach in terms of simulation performance and testability.
