Area, energy, latency, and leak power models for hardware components.
HWComponents provides area, energy, latency, and leak power estimates for hardware components in hardware architectures. It is part of the CiMLoop project and serves as the estimation backend for AccelForge.
Learn more at the website or on GitHub.
⚡ Features
- Simple Python API for writing area, energy, latency, and leak power models. New models can be written in minutes.
- Automatic parameter scaling across configurations, including scaling to different technology nodes.
- Plugin ecosystem that automatically gathers components from installed Python packages.
- Included model packages for multiple projects, plus a general-purpose component library.
