However, research on power estimation and optimization of CMP structure is still scarce. Current research has mainly concentrated on software level and compiling level power optimization. There is no software power estimation model for CMP structure till now. The accurate power estimation model designed for CMP structure analyze the power consumption of each component in CMP, so that efforts are made to reduce power consumption of some certain components; What is more, this power model is utilized as a testing platform for system level and software level power estimation research. Key words ：chip multiprocessor; power estimation model; CPU simulator 功耗，收到了一定效果。可是针对单芯片多处理器结构的体 0 引 言 系结构级功耗评估研究却仍缺乏，目前还没有这种结构开放
