Abstract
A method for computing the power savings in an integrated circuit (IC) design is disclosed. The method computes the difference in power savings between techniques used for clock gating. Based on the computation results, the method outputs a script to control the implementation tool so as to provide for the best implementation clock gating technique in terms of power and area savings.
