Efficient Modelling of FPGA-based IP blocks using Neural Networks

Résumé

Power consumption has become one of the most important concern in the embedded systems’ community and being able to accurately and quickly estimate power consumption constitutes a challenging task. In this paper, an innovative and efficient technique for modelling signal activities and power consumption of FPGA-based hardware IP blocks is presented. We use two neural networks to model both the power consumption and the output signal activities of hardware IPs that compose a global system. These models are built according to estimated timing activities, which can be performed by a dedicated low-level tool. Our approach has the same objective as this type of tool while achieving a significant speed-up factor and enabling high- level power estimations. Moreover, we aim at directly estimating an IP-cascaded system’s power consumption, at high-level. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is demonstrated through several case studies on specific hardware blocks for FPGA devices.
