Abstract:
1. A method comprising: generating a power state graph based upon power intent data of a power design, wherein the power state graph comprises a plurality of edges based upon a plurality of power mode transition conditions included in the power intent data to transition between one or more of a plurality of power modes of the power design; updating the power intent data to include one or more new power mode transition conditions in response to determining that a transition sequence comprising one or more of the plurality of edges fails to exist in the power state graph from a selected first power mode to a selected second power mode, the selected first power mode and the selected second power mode included in the plurality of power modes; generating an updated power state graph based upon the updated power intent data; generating simulation stimuli based upon the updated power state graph; and simulating the power design utilizing the generated simulation stimuli.
