Abstract
Embodiments include exerciser device placement in the development of an integrated circuit. Aspects of the invention include obtaining a design of an integrated circuit and creating a dynamic power blockage map for the integrated circuit. Aspects also include updating the integrated circuit design by placing one or more exercisers on the integrated circuit, wherein a location of the one or more exercisers on the integrated circuit is based on at least in part on the dynamic power blockage map. Based on a determination that the updated integrated circuit design complies with one or more design constraints, aspects further include outputting the updated integrated circuit design.
