calculate power consumption

[ssubha]

I need to design a system with the following specifications.
1. it accepts as input 6 bit number, updates the count of the number. there are 64 possibilities. the total samle size is less than 2^64.
2. it finds minimum and maximum of given set of 64 numbers (from 1 above), finds the average as (min+max)/2 (shifting would work).
What are the components that can be used for the above spec? how is the energy/power consumption calculated for the above system?

Thank you,
s.subha

I am assuming you are going to generate a gate level netlist by synthesizing a verilog code. then it will be easier to generate through the library which you are using.

If you are just writing "code" to come up with a number, you can always print number of transactions you are doing, the power will be directly proportional to it. Think in the number of steps you are using in terms of addition, multiplication and comparison. You can attach power number to each of the steps. Depending of the algorithm you are using it will come up with an estimated number comparison is least power, then addition followed by multiplication...
