A fast estimation of SRAM failure rate using probability collectives
Importance sampling is a popular approach to estimate rare event failures of SRAM cells. We propose to improve importance sampling by probability collectives. First, we use “Kul...

Thin Partitions: Isoperimetric Inequalities and a Sampling Algorithm for Star Shaped Bodies
Star-shaped bodies are an important nonconvex generalization of convex bodies (e.g., linear programming with violations). Here we present an efficient algorithm for sampling a giv...
