—Time-dependent performance degradation due to transistor aging caused by mechanisms such as Negative Bias Temperature Instability (NBTI) and Hot Carrier Injection (HCI) is one o...
NBTI is one of the most important silicon reliability problems facing processor designers today. The impact of NBTI can be mitigated at both the circuit and microarchitecture leve...
Conventionally, signal net routing is almost always implemented as Steiner trees. However, non-tree topology is often superior on timing performance as well as tolerance to open f...
