Abstract
A method for estimating power dissipated by processor core processing a workload includes analyzing a reference test case to generate a reference workload characteristic, analyzing an actual workload to generate an actual workload characteristic, performing a power analysis for the reference test case to establish a reference power dissipation value and estimating an actual workload power dissipation value responsive to the actual and reference workload characteristics and the reference power dissipation value.
