Statistical modeling and simulation of threshold variation under dopant fluctuations and line-edge roughness
The threshold voltage (Vth) of a nanoscale transistor is severely affected by random dopant fluctuations and line-edge roughness. The analysis of these effects usually requires at...

Parallel programming: can we PLEASE get it right this time?
The computer industry has a problem. As Moore's law marches on, we will be exploiting it to double cores, not frequencies. But all those cores ... 2 to 4 today growing to 8, ...
