The number of gates on a chip is quickly growing toward and beyond the one billion mark. Keeping all the gates running at the beat of a single or a few rationally related clocks i...

Abstract. This paper introduces a set of design principles that aim to make processor architectures amenable to static timing analysis. Based on these principles, we give a design ...
ASIC designs for future communication applications cannot be simulated exhaustively. Formal Property Checking is a powerful technology to overcome the limitations of current funct...

- We propose a framework to unify the process of false paths and multi-cycle paths in static timing analysis (STA). We use subgraphs attached with timing constraints to represent f...

This paper examines several techniques for static timing analysis. In detail, the first part of the paper analyzes the connection of prediction accuracy (worst case execution tim...
Certainly, in hard real-time systems, it is reasonable to argue that no hard real-time threads should behave in an unpredictable way and that schedulability should be guaranteed b...

Static timing analysis of embedded software is important for systems with hard real-time constraints. To accurately estimate time bounds, it is essential to model the underlying m...
In this paper we present a method to perform static timing analysis of SystemC models, that describe parallel, communicating software processes.The paper combines a worstcase exec...

We propose a method to capture crosstalk-induced noisy waveform for crosstalk-aware static timing analysis. The effects of capacitive coupling noise on timing are conventionally m...
—As process variations become a significant problem in deep sub-micron technology, a shift from deterministic static timing analysis to statistical static timing analysis for hig...
