With increasing process variation, binning has become an important technique to improve the values of fabricated chips, especially in high performance microprocessors where transpa...
—Considering process variability at the behavior synthesis level is necessary, because it makes some instances of function units slower and others faster, resulting in unbalanced...
Monte Carlo based SSTA serves as the golden standard against alternative SSTA algorithms, but it is seldom used in practice due to its high computation time. In this paper, we acc...

We propose a technology mapping algorithm that takes existing structural technology-mapping algorithms based on dynamic programming [1,3,4] and extends them to retime pipelined cir...

— Recent advances in statistical timing analysis (SSTA) achieve great success in computing arrival times under variations by extending sum and maximum operations to random variab...
