DiffPower: GPU-Accelerated Differentiable Switching Power Analysis and Optimization
DiffPower translates design netlists into a PDK-agnostic bytecode representation, enabling analytical gradient computation via reverse-mode automatic differentiation, achieving up to a speedup over single-threaded CPU propagation on the largest evaluated design, with the GPU advantage growing with design scale.
