Abstract
Aspects of the present disclosure address systems and methods for performing critical region resynthesis with purpose-directed candidate filtering. Data representing an integrated circuit design is accessed along with a threshold constraint defining a power consumption threshold. A first cell is selected from the integrated circuit design. A swapping candidate to evaluate for swapping with the first cell is selected. The swapping candidate comprises at least a second cell. The swapping candidate is evaluated based on a power consumption associated with the swapping candidate and the power consumption threshold. The first cell is swapped with the swapping candidate in the integrated circuit design based on a result of the evaluating. The data representing the integrated circuit design is updated based on the swapping of the first cell with the swapping candidate.
