Abstract

The tested performance of a microprocessor chip is more important than the predicted performance of it’s model. However, performance deviations are often introduced during the design stages. In order to identify and fix the performance defects, a hierarchical performance verification methodology is proposed. Parameter sensitive performance models and coverage driven stimulus are built at the unit-level. Implementation oriented performance calibration and RTL simulation based benchmarks are made at the core-level. Prototyping and counter-based performance analysis systems are built in the system level. An example is given to demonstrate the application and effectiveness of the proposed methodology.
