Report Power - 2021.1 English

Run the report_power command on an implemented design to ensure that the power constraints applied to the design reflect the initial power estimation and thermal design. The report_power command also shows any margin based on the constraints, ensuring the power is kept in check. When you are generating multiple runs to close timing, Xilinx recommends running report_power, because often the design with the most slack might not be the best from a power perspective. However, as long as there is slack, a design can be considered to have closed timing, and having the report power results for every run allows you to select the best implementation for power as well.
