Thats a unique idea.You should consider the following idea to enhance your idea so that it would impact uniquely:  address the problem of analyzing the performance of System-on-chip (SoC) architectures in the presence of variations. Existing techniques such as gate-level statistical timing analysis compute the distributions of clock frequencies of SoC components. Hover,  demonstrate that translating component-level characteristics into a system-level performance distribution is a complex and challenging problem due to the inter-dependencies beten components' execution, indirect effects of shared resources, and interactions beten multiple system-level “execution paths”.  argue that accurate variation-aware system-level performance analysis requires repeated system execution, which is prohibitively slow when based on simulation. Emulation is a widely-used approach to drastically speedup system-level simulation, but it has not been hitherto applied to variation analysis.  describe a framework — Variability Emulation for SoC Performance Analysis (VESPA) — that adapts and applies emulation to the problem of variation aware SoC performance analysis. The proposed framework consists of three phases: component variability characterization, variation-aware emulation setup, and Monte-carlo driven emulation.  demonstrate the utility of the proposed framework by applying it to design variation-aware architectures for two example SoCs — an 802.11 MAC processor and an MPEG encoder. Our results suggest that variability emulation has great potential to enable variation-aware design and exploration at the system level.
