Coremark for power estimation

[saching...@gmail.com]

Hi,

I would like to know how Coremark SW can be used for estimation of power consumption by a particular processor.

Moreover, can coremark tests be available as Verilog or system Verilog tests.

Regards

Sachin

Hello Sachin,

 

CoreMark SW can be used as a standard workload for purposes of estimation of power consumption.

You can use the functions start_time() and stop_time() to signal your measurement facility (either trigger if running on simulator, or use a gpio pin and EEMBC EnergyBench) and measure power/energy for the duration of the test.

 

As far as Verilog – since you would want a different Verilog implementation depending on your target, there is no standard Verilog coremark test.

If you are interested, please contact Markus Levy (cc’d) to discuss details.
