Microarchitecture parameter selection to optimize system performance under process variation
Abstract— Design variability due to within-die and die-todie process variations has the potential to significantly reduce the maximum operating frequency and the effective yield...

Early Analysis and Budgeting of Margins and Corners Using Two-Sided Analytical Yield Models
Manufacturing process variations lead to variability in circuit delay and, if not accounted for, can cause excessive timing yield loss. The familiar traditional approaches to timin...

Circuit optimization using statistical static timing analysis
In this paper, we propose a new sensitivity based, statistical gate sizing method. Since circuit optimization effects the entire shape of the circuit delay distribution, it is dif...

A method for correcting the functionality of a wire-pipelined circuit
As across-chip interconnect delays can exceed a clock cycle, wire pipelining becomes essential in high performance designs. Although it allows higher clock frequencies, it may cha...
