ABSTRACT


This work utilizes the XGBoost to build a machine learning-based IR drop predictor, XGBIR, for the power grid. To capture the behavior of power grid, we extract its several features and employ its locality property to save the extraction time. XGBIR can be effectively applied to large designs and the average error of predicted IR drops is less than 6 mV.
