We address the problem of verifying the correctness of pre-silicon models of a microprocessor. We touch on the latest advances in this area by considering two different aspects of...
— SRAMs typically represent half of the area and more than half of the transistors on a chip today. Variability increases as feature size decreases, and the impact of variability...
