Abstract— This paper presents an allocation method of decoupling capacitance that explicitly considers timing. We have found and focused that decap does not necessarily improve a...
This paper presents a new method to compute the probability distribution of the delay of a combinational circuit and uses it obtain an estimate of the yield of the process that ma...
This paper presents a general method for computing transient sensitivities using the adjoint method in event driven simulation algorithms that employ piecewise linear device model...
A high accuracy system for transistor-level static timing analysis is presented. Accurate static timing verification requires that individual gate and interconnect delays be accu...

As microprocessors continue to evolve, many optimizations reach a point of diminishing returns. We introduce HLS, a hybrid processor simulator which uses statistical models and sy...
