In nanometer regime, the effects of variations are having an increasing impact on the delay and power characteristics of devices as well as the yield of the circuit. Statistical t...
Each new semiconductor technology node brings smaller, faster transistors and smaller, slower wires. In particular, long interconnect wires in modern FPGAs now require rebuffering ...
The impact of power supply integrity on a design has become a critical issue, not only for functional verification, but also for performance verification. Traditional analysis has...

The relatively poor scaling of interconnect in modern digital circuits necessitates a number of design optimizations, which must typically be iterated several times to meet the spe...
An important question for network simulation is what level of detail is required to obtain a desired level of accuracy. While in some networks, the level of detail is an open rese...
