: In chip design, one of the main objectives is to decrease its clock cycle; however, the existing approaches to timing analysis under uncertainty are based on fundamentally restri...

An effective method for focusing optimization effort on the most important parts of a design is to examine those elements on the critical path. Traditionally, the critical path is...

Recent study shows that the existing first order canonical timing model is not sufficient to represent the dependency of the gate delay on the variation sources when processing an...

In this paper, we highlight a fast, effective and practical statistical approach that deals with inter and intra-die variations in VLSI chips. Our methodology is applied to a numb...
