Abstract(in English) In this paper, we propose a characterization framework which helps designers in developing an accurate energy consumption model for a target processor. We use a linear model for energy consumption and we find the coefficients of the model using Linear Programming (LP). We use our approach for estimating the energy consumption of an M32R-II processor system including CPU core, on-chip caches and an off-chip SDRAM. Experimental results demonstrated that the error of our technique is on an average 8% and worst case 38% compared to the gate-level estimation results. Once the linear equation has been developed, the power consumption of a target program can be estimated with the speed of 35,000 instructions per second.
