Metrics for Digital Signal Processing Architectures Characterization: Remanence and Scalability
Résumé
SoCs became reality: an increasing number of products powered by this type of circuits hits the market. Reduced power consumption, increased performance are some of the usually stated benefits. Besides approaches aiming at enabling system level exploration for multiple million gates designs, like the SystemC initiative, choosing the right IP core, or the right set of parameters among those available is not straightforward. In this article we first present a generic model for digital signal processing architectures. Several metrics, later referred as Remanence and Operative Density are presented in this paper. The methodology is illustrated through a case study.
