Abstract
The complexity associated with the design of high performance processors is increasing rapidly. Designers constantly expand the sophistication and scope of the functionality found in their designs. This makes estimating how much time it takes to design and verify these designs increasingly difficult. The design of a modern processor is a resource intensive endeavor, however there has been little work [3] done on measuring, understanding, and estimating the effort it requires. While there are several analytical and simulation infrastructures developed by the computer architecture community to address the modelling, prediction of traditional metrics such as power/performance/temperature, there has been virtually no work done to predict processor design time. The lack of quantitative approaches to the estimation of the design time overhead means that certain architectural proposals
