GET CIRCUIT PERFORMANCES
Gets the performances of the circuits implementing the pwas function
Contents
Method of pwas object.
Description
This method allows to know a priori the performances of all available circuit architectures implementing the pwas function. Also a pwas function without weights (i.e. a pwas object built only with information about domain and partition) can be used to evaluate the circuit performances. 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
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.
Syntax
perf = getCircuitPerformances(object)
