MLTimer: Leakage Power Minimisation in Digital Circuits using Machine Learning and Adaptive Lazy Timing Analysis

Power optimization techniques in a VLSI flow typically end up being the performance bottlenecks leading to a large turn around time for the following reasons: * Scalability: The design typically spans millions and millions of gates with different operating conditions leading to a large search space. * Portability: The constraints vary across technology nodes hindering reusability of solutions. ML models are inherently trained to operate on large datasets and navigate a complex search space.
