Statistical timing analysis needs a priori knowledge of process variations. Lack of such a priori knowledge of process variations prevents accurate statistical timing analysis, fo...
Polynomial identity testing (PIT) problem is known to be challenging even for constant depth arithmetic circuits. In this work, we study the complexity of two special but natural ...
In this paper we present a method to perform static timing analysis of SystemC models, that describe parallel, communicating software processes.The paper combines a worstcase exec...
