Abstract— Design variability due to within-die and die-todie process variations has the potential to significantly reduce the maximum operating frequency and the effective yield...
Transient faults due to particle strikes are a key challenge in microprocessor design. Driven by exponentially increasing transistor counts, per-chip faults are a growing burden. ...
