We consider a finite-state Markov decision problem and establish the convergence of a special case of optimistic policy iteration that involves Monte Carlo estimation of Q-values,...
Parameter variations are a major factor causing powerperformance asymmetry in chip multiprocessors. In this paper, we analyze the effects of with-in-die (WID) process variations o...
Transient Signal Analysis is a digital device testing method that is based on the analysis of voltage transients at multiple test points. The power supply transient signals of an ...
