Methods, systems, and computer program product for implementing hotspot detection, repair, and optimization of an electronic circuit design

A system for implementing hotspot detection, repair, and optimization of an electronic circuit design, the system comprising:

• one or more processors, one or more processor cores, or a combination thereof that is to:
• define or identify a criterion for a hotspot or a metric related to the hotspot of the electronic circuit design;
• perform initial prediction of the hotspot or the metric by using a first model;
• apply a correction candidate for the hotspot to the electronic circuit design based at least in part upon the initial prediction that is performed by using the first model;
• and
• determining, by using a second model, whether the hotspot is resolved or improved in view of the criterion or whether the metric is related to the hotspot is improved by a result of application of the correction candidate to the electronic design that is based at lest in part upon the initial prediction.

A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-usable storage medium having a sequence of instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, processor cores, or combination thereof, cause the one or more processors, processor cores, or combination thereof to execute a process for implementing hotspot detection, repair, and or optimization of an electronic circuit design, the process comprising:

• defining or identifying a criterion for a hotspot or a metric of the electronic circuit design;
• performing initial hotspot or metric prediction by using a first model;
• applying, a correction candidate for the hotspot to the electronic circuit design that is performed by using the first model;
• and
• determining, by using a second model, whether the hotspot is resolved or in improved in view of the criterion or whether the metric related to the hotspot is improved by a result of application of the correction candidate to the electronic design that is based at least in part upon the initial prediction, wherein
• the act of determining whether the hotspot is resolved or improved or whether the metric is improved is performed by one or more processors, or more processor cores, or a combination thereof.
