How to estimate power, area and performance of the eTeak generated circuits?  #5

Description

@Mahdi89

eTeak as the same as its predecessor counterpart, the Balsa synthesis system, reports area estimation of the generated Verilog circuit. However, this highly depends on the utilised cell library (ASIC/FPGA) and, hence the technology mapping process performed by the tool.
Similar to any high-level synthesis tool eTeak/Balsa generated Verilog code can be synthesised using conventional synchronous EDAs such as Synopsys. Thereafter the technology mapped circuits can be simulated for timing analysis and critical path evaluation. You certainly need a harness file for you design at this stage.
It is also possible to generate switching activity file (.vcd) for power assessments which is more accurate and realistic than the power estimation techniques performed by the tools based on the circuit models.
