Validation, comprising functional verification and performance evaluation, is critical for complex hardware designs. Indeed, due to the high level of parallelism in modern designs, a functionally verified design may not meet its performance specifications. In addition, the later a design error is identified, the greater its cost. Thus, validation of designs should start as early as possible. This thesis proposes a compositional modeling framework, taking into account functional and time aspects of hardware systems, and defines a performance evaluation approach to analyze constructed models. The modeling framework, called Interactive Probabilistic Chain (IPC), is a discrete-time process algebra, representing delays as probabilistic phase typ...
