Abstract—Negative bias temperature instability (NBTI) significantly affects nanoscale integrated circuit performance and reliability. The degradation in threshold voltage (Vth) d...
This paper describes the AccuPower toolset -- a set of simulation tools accurately estimating the power dissipation within a superscalar microprocessor. AccuPower uses a true hard...
This paper develops an improved approach for hierarchical functional test generation for complex chips. In order to deal with the increasing complexity of functional test generati...
