Abstract
A method of estimating a toggle count of a circuit, includes, in part, simulating the circuit to generate training data and an associated training toggle count of the internal nodes of the circuit in response to a test bench, training a neural network system to generate an estimate of the training toggle count in accordance with the training data and the associated training toggle count, simulating the circuit to generate simulation data in response to a first set of input values applied to the circuit, and invoking the trained neural network system to estimate a number of toggles of the internal nodes of the circuit from the simulation data. The training data may include, in part, values of input signals applied to the circuit and values of registers disposed in the circuit for a multitude of time stamps. The neural network system may include, in part, at least three layers.
