Abstract: This application is directed to a power monitoring system for virtual platform simulation. In one embodiment, a simulation system may comprise a virtual power monitor (VPMON) and a performance simulator. An example VPMON module may include at least a system agent (SA) module to receive virtual platform data from the performance simulator. The SA module may then be further to determine at least one component power model based on the virtual platform data, and may proceed to formulate a platform power model based on the at least one component power model. During simulation of the virtual platform, the SA module may be further to generate power data corresponding to the virtual platform based on the platform power model. For example, the SA module may obtain performance data from the performance simulator, and may provide the performance data to the platform power model to generate the power data.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed herein to optimize platform simulation resource consumption. An example apparatus comprises a simulation manager to initiate a simulation on a platform simulator with component models corresponding to hardware components of the platform, a utilization threshold monitor to identify a utilization value associated with a first one of the component models based on a demand caused by a software application under test, and a component monitor manager to attach or detach the first one of the component models to the platform simulator based on a comparison of the utilization value to a threshold utilization value.
