Abstract
A system, and corresponding method, is described for using a model to predict the physical behavior of IP from an HDL representation of the IP. The system generated data for training and testing the model by treating the logical parameters and physical parameters subset as one for the IP block. The system digitizes the non-numerical parameters and compresses timing arcs. The system uses the trained model to predict performance, power, and area (PPA) behavior for an IP block directly from the combined vector of logical parameter values and physical parameter values.
