Abstract
A method is provided. The method includes obtaining, for a particular integrated (IC) design, register transfer level (RTL) code and unified power format (UPF) settings, generating an RTL feature array from the RTL code, arranging features based on a UPF into a UPF feature array, generating, by a processor, a combined feature array for the particular IC design by combining the RTL feature array and the UPF feature array, comparing the combined feature array for the particular IC design with another combined feature array, and reporting differences, based on the comparing, between the combined feature array and the other combined feature array to identify changes in at least one of the RTL code and the UPF settings that resulted in a change in a number of power violations.
