Abstract— The impact of process variations increases as technology scales to nanometer region. Under large process variations, the path and arc/node criticality [18] provide effe...
Process variations cause different behavior of timingdependent effects across different chips. In this work, we analyze one example of timing-dependent effects, crosscoupling ...
— Recent advances in statistical timing analysis (SSTA) achieve great success in computing arrival times under variations by extending sum and maximum operations to random variab...
With the ever-increasing transistor variability in CMOS technology, it is essential to integrate variation-aware performance analysis into the task allocation and scheduling proce...
