accelergy-aladdin-plug-in

An energy estimation plug-in for Accelergy framework

Get started

• Install Accelergy framework

Use the plug-in

• Clone the repo by git clone https://github.com/nelliewu95/accelergy-aladdin-plug-in.git
• Option 1
  • Run pip3 install . and use the same arguments as installing Accelergy
• Option 2
  • Open Accelergy's config file accelergy_config.yaml and add a new list item that points to the cloned folder
• To set the relative accuracy of your Aladdin plug-in
  • open aladdin_table.py
  • Edit the first line to set the ALADDIN_ACCURACY (default is 70)
• Run Accelergy (Accelergy's log will show that it identifies the Aladdin plug-in )
• The 40nm energy data is stored in the data folder.
• Note that Aladdin tables use the latency attribute to characterize primitive components and the plug-in assumes a default 5ns latency. Users can specify the latency attribute when defining a primitive component to make better use of the plug-in.
