Decap Optimization Policy

Decap optimization focuses on efficiently determining the optimal placement and values of decoupling capacitors (decaps) in electronic systems to minimize impedance and improve power delivery. Current research employs various approaches, including reinforcement learning (RL) with transformer networks and diffusion models, aiming to improve the speed and effectiveness of decap placement compared to traditional methods like genetic algorithms. These advancements are significant for improving the performance and reliability of high-bandwidth memory systems and other power-sensitive electronics, particularly in applications requiring high speed and low noise.
