Performance Verification of a Complex
This paper describes the use of the VMM Performance Analyzer to verify the performance of an AXI-based bus arbiter. The goal of performance verification is to verify that the architectural intent of the arbiter is fulfilled. The arbiter must provide specified bandwidth and latency to each bus master. To measure arbiter performance, we used a new VMM Application – the VMM Performance Analyzer. This application allows the collection of arbitrary user-defined performance data into an SQL database. We show how this application was integrated into our existing VMM testbench and how we post-processed the SQL data to quantify the arbiter’s performance.
