Multiple clock cycles are needed to cross the global interconnects for multi-gigahertz designs in nanometer technologies. For synchronous designs, this requires retiming and pipel...
This paper presents a power grid analyzer based on a random walk technique. A linear-time algorithm is first demonstrated for DC analysis, and is then extended to perform transien...
