Petri net modeling of gate and interconnect delays for power estimation
In this paper, a new type of Petri net called Hierarchical Colored Hardware Petri net, to model real-delay switching activity for power estimation is proposed. The logic circuit i...

Statistical gate delay calculation with crosstalk alignment consideration
We study gate delay variation caused by crosstalk aggressor alignment, i.e., difference of signal arrival times in coupled neighboring interconnects. This effect is as significan...
