POSE: Power Optimization and Synthesis Environment

Recent trends in the semiconductor industry have resulted in an increasing demand for low power circuits. POSE is a step in providing the EDA community and academia with an environment and tool suite for automatic synthesis and optimization of low power circuits. POSE provides a unified framework for specifying and maintaining power relevant circuit information and means of estimating power consumption of a circuit using different load models. POSE also gives a set of options for making are-power trade-offs during logic optimization.
