Claim 10:
11. An apparatus, comprising:
one or more computer readable storage media;
program instructions stored on the one or more computer readable storage media, the program instructions executable by a processing system to direct the processing system to at least:
iterate application of a load profile across different populations of decoupling capacitors on a circuit board for supply voltage domains of an integrated circuit device until a target transient performance is reached for the supply voltage domains, wherein the load profile is applied onto electrical connections corresponding to the supply voltage domains for a footprint of the integrated circuit device while the integrated circuit device is not populated onto the circuit board; and
generate a capacitor population configuration for the circuit board based on a population of the decoupling capacitors that achieves the target transient performance.
