Process variations in modern VLSI technologies are growing in both magnitude and dimensionality. To assess performance variability, complex simulation and performance models param...
As packet-switching interconnection networks replace buses and dedicated wires to become the standard on-chip interconnection fabric, reducing their power consumption has been ide...
Process variations have become a key concern of circuit designers because of their significant, yet hard to predict impact on performance and signal integrity of VLSI circuits. St...
Under modern VLSI technology, process variations greatly affect circuit performance, especially clock skew which is very timing sensitive. Unwanted skew due to process variation f...
