I have implemented an AXI4 IP in VHDL and I want to show the area utilization and power consumption of it. However, the IP has many configuration parameters that affect the utilization. Is it common practice to show the sum of all the resources (CLB, LUTs, CARRY8 etc.) as an area utilization index in a research paper?
Regarding the power consumption, I think that showing the watts of the implementation report could be good.
What do you think?
I saw the implementation report and I wasn’t able to figure out how to show the results for different sets of configuration parameter’s value.
