Claim One:
1. A computer program product for model-based power management driven multi-chip system simulation, the computer program product comprising: a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having computer usable program code embodied therewith, the computer usable program code comprising a computer usable program code to: generate utilization data and performance data for a simulated multi-core system with a workload model that models one or more types of workloads based on parameters that characterize the one or more types of workloads; generate thermal data and power consumption data for the simulated multi-core system with a power model that models power consumption at a chip-level and a system-level; generate performance counter information for the simulated multi-core system with a performance model that models change of performance counters over time and at least one of the generated utilization data and the generated performance data as input to the performance model; and provide the thermal data, the performance data, the performance counter information, the utilization data, and the power consumption data as input into an executing instance of program code that generates power management simulation events based, at least in part, on the thermal data, the performance data, the performance counter information, the utilization data, and the power consumption data; wherein in response to a determination that one or more of the thermal data, the performance data, the utilization data, and the power consumption data indicates a feedback loop, model data is written and one or more dependent models are notified that the model data is available for use by at least one or more of the dependent models in the feedback loop.
