GET CIRCUIT PERFORMANCES
Gets the performances of the circuits implementing the pwag function
Contents
Method of pwas object.
Description
This method allows to know a priori the performances of all available circuit architectures implementing the pwag function. The method returns a structure perf with two fields 'serial' and 'parallel'. Both fields are structures themselves with fields 'bitwise', 'componentwise' and 'parallel'. Each of these fields are again a structure with fields:
- latency: indicates the circuit latency in clock cycles
- memsize: indicates the memory occupation in bytes
- multipliers: indicates the number of multipliers
- nstates: indicates the number of states in the Finite State Machine
This structure allows to obtain the performances of both serial and parallel architectures with all available input acquisition methods. All data are returned as strings. Some values can be parametric. Also the pwag object is returned since the binary search tree is computed (if not already available).
Syntax
[perf object] = getCircuitPerformances(object)
