A unified power measurement and management platform for pipelined MPSoC executions

Abstract

As the number of cores and IPs in an MPSoC design increases very rapidly, power and temperature have become the most crucial issues. For a power-aware MPSoC design, a unified power monitoring and management environment is very important for a faster design convergence. In this paper, we propose a unified platform which provides both accurate power measurement and intelligent power management. The proposed platform has been used to minimize power consumption for pipelined MPSoC executions.
