Functional validation is a major bottleneck in microprocessor design methodology. Simulation is the widely used method for functional validation using billions of random and biase...
-- In this tutorial we discuss concepts and techniques for the accurate and efficient modeling and extraction of interconnect parasitics in VLSI designs. Due toincreasing operating...
In current microprocessors and systems, an increasingly high silicon portion is derived through automatic synthesis, with designers working exclusively at the RT-level, and design...
