We consider reinforcement learning as solving a Markov decision process with unknown transition distribution. Based on interaction with the environment, an estimate of the transit...
The ability to control the variations in IC fabrication process is rapidly diminishing as feature sizes continue towards the sub-100 nm regime. As a result, there is an increasing...

—As transistor feature sizes continue to shrink into the sub-90nm range and beyond, the effects of process variations on critical path delay and chip yields have amplified. A com...
Both custom IC and FPGA designs in the nanometer regime suffer from process variations. But different from custom ICs, FPGAs' programmability offers a unique design freedom t...
