   "Zia Kahn (Intel) gave a Power Compiler presentation.  One useful
    idea was to measure the frequency of the nodes that toggle per clock
    cycle.  This is probably good for  measuring the activity of a model
    w.r.t. simulation speeds."

       - Anon

   "Lots of talk about Power Compiler and its ability to replace the
    enable/disable of flip-flops with gated clocks. Real experiences
    from users, what you need to do (i.e. you need a special cell in
    the library).  They reported power savings between 20% to 50%,
    which is mouth watering."
