摘要:
A method, system, and computer program product are provided for distributing net power accurately. A workload is simulated operating on an integrated circuit. Net switching activity is determined for a set of nets and a set of subnets in the integrated circuit. Net switching data is generated based on the net switching activity. A net power value is calculated for each individual net and each individual subnet using the net switching data and a net capacitance for each individual net or subnet. Each calculated net power value is assigned to one of a set of source devices that drives the individual net or subnet, wherein the net power is distributed accurately. A net power assignment list is generated based on the assigning of each net power value to one of the set of source devices that drives the individual net or subnet.

A design structure is embodied in a machine readable medium for designing, manufacturing, or testing integrated circuitry. The design structure includes first hardware for executing first software in response to macros that describe the integrated circuitry, and for generating a set of constants in response to the execution of the first software. Second hardware is for receiving the set of constants from the first hardware, and for executing second software in response to the macros and the set of constants, and for estimating a power consumption of the integrated circuitry in response to the execution of the second software.

摘要:
A computer implemented power optimization method that generates statistics relating to the clock gating of a set of components in a VLSI design. A set of components, including those components which are not clock gated, are identified. The generation of statistics related to clock gating testing identify whether one or more components of the set of components may be clock gated.

摘要:
A method, a computer program, and an apparatus are provided for generating circuit energy models for a macro using clock gating inputs. Circuit energy models are used to estimate system power consumption. The present invention enables circuit energy models to be created for macros that contain clock gating inputs. Power tables are created based upon the macro's input switching factor percentage and the clock activation percentage. These power tables are generated from a minimum number of power simulations. By using clock activation percentage as a parameter accurate energy tables are produced.
