Process technology and environment-induced variability of gates and wires in VLSI circuits make timing analyses of such circuits a challenging task. Process variation can have a s...
In this paper we present a fast method for computing acoustic likelihoods that makes use of a Graphics Processing Unit (GPU). After enabling the GPU acceleration the main processo...
Statistical Static Timing Analysis has received wide attention recently and emerged as a viable technique for manufacturability analysis. To be useful, however, it is important th...
