Recent work has shown that multithreaded workloads running in execution-driven, full-system simulation environments cannot use instructions per cycle (IPC) as a valid performance ...
Statistical static timing analysis (SSTA) has been a popular research topic in recent years. A fundamental issue with applying SSTA in practice today is the lack of reliable and e...
— Variability in the chip design process has been relatively increasing with technology scaling to smaller dimensions. Using worst case analysis for circuit optimization severely...
Operating frequency of a pipelined circuit is determined by the delay of the slowest pipeline stage. However, under statistical delay variation in sub-100nm technology regime, the...
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...
