— As technology scales into the sub-90nm domain, manufacturing variations become an increasingly significant portion of circuit delay. As a result, delays must be modeled as sta...

This paper presents a two-step, RC-interconnect insensitive linear time-varying (LTV) driver model for gate-level timing calculation. We show how to characterize a driver with the...
Networks-on-chip (NoCs) are used in a growing number of SoCs and multi-core processors. Because messages compete for the NoC’s shared resources, quality of service and resource ...
