Statistical static timing analysis (SSTA) plays a key role in determining performance of the VLSI circuits implemented in state-of-the-art CMOS technology. A pre-requisite for emp...
— Variability in the chip design process has been relatively increasing with technology scaling to smaller dimensions. Using worst case analysis for circuit optimization severely...
Cohesion is one of the fundamental measures of the 'goodness' of a software design. The most accepted and widely studied object-oriented cohesion metric is Chidamber and...
With aggressive scaling down of feature sizes in VLSI fabrication, process variation has become a critical issue in designs. We show that two necessary conditions for the "Max...
