Given the importance of power, the Vivado tools support methods for obtaining an accurate estimate for power, as well as providing some power optimization capabilities. For additional information, see the Vivado Design Suite User Guide: Power Analysis and Optimization (UG907).
Recommended: When targeting UltraScale and
UltraScale+™
devices and using the Explore directives
or Explore-based strategies, you must manually enable block RAM power optimization by
running
power_opt_design or using opt_design -bram_power_opt after opt_design runs. Xilinx recommends
targeting block RAMs to achieve power reduction.
