Process variations will increasingly impact the operational characteristics of integrated circuits in nanoscale semiconductor technologies. Researchers have proposed various desig...
In this paper, we present a new voltage IR drop analysis approach for large on-chip power delivery networks. The new approach is based on recently proposed sampling based reductio...
Soft errors are an increasingly serious problem for logic circuits. To estimate the effects of soft errors on such circuits, we develop a general computational framework based on ...
