—As process variations become a significant problem in deep sub-micron technology, a shift from deterministic static timing analysis to statistical static timing analysis for hig...
Starting from a model of the within-die systematic variations using principal components analysis, a model is proposed for estimation of the parametric yield, and is then applied ...
Certainly, in hard real-time systems, it is reasonable to argue that no hard real-time threads should behave in an unpredictable way and that schedulability should be guaranteed b...

Abstract-- Hard real-time systems need methods to determine upper bounds for their execution times, usually called worst-case execution times. Timing anomalies are counterintuitive...

While the increasing need for addressing process variability in sub-90nm VLSI technologies has sparkled a large body of statistical timing and optimization research, the realizati...
