The next generation of computer chips will continue the trend for more complexity than their predecessors. Many of them will contain different chip technologies and are termed SoC...
or cone, abstraction is chosen to represent a spectrum of user inputs/requirements that are narrowed, refined, and structured into a system design. User inputs require refinement f...

Post-silicon validation has recently drawn designers' attention due to its increasing impacts on the VLSI design cycle and cost. One key feature of the post-silicon validatio...
In this paper we introduce a new method of performing direct solution of the harmonic balance Jacobian. For examples with moderate number of harmonics and moderate to strong nonli...
