Abstract
A method includes receiving input information related to devices of an integrated circuit. A first simulation of the integrated circuit is performed over a first time period. Average temperature changes of the devices over the first time period are calculated. A second simulation of the integrated circuit is performed over a second time period using the average temperature changes of the devices. The first simulation and the second simulation are executed by a processor unit.
