Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed to automatically method to manage power in a custom integrated circuit (IC) design with a code profile by receiving an instruction execution sequence based on the code profile and reassigning or delaying the instruction sequence to spread operations or activities over a plurality of processing blocks to reduce hot spots; applying sub-region weight distributions to estimate power hot-spot locations; and synthesizing the generated architecture into a computer readable description of the custom integrated circuit for semiconductor fabrication.
