This paper quantifies the approximation error in Clark’s approach [1] to computing the maximum (max) of Gaussian random variables; a fundamental operation in statistical timing...
This paper proposes a simulation-based soft error estimation methodology for computer systems. Accumulating soft error rates (SERs) of all memories in a computer system results in...
Due to aggressive technology scaling, VLSI circuits are becoming increasingly susceptible to transient errors caused by single-event-upsets (SEUs). In this paper, we introduce two...
We present a ROM compiler programmable from via 1 to via n – 2, where n is the number of metal layers. The layer on which the code via is landed can be selected by the user. Wit...
Asynchronous data communication mechanisms (ACMs) have been extensively studied as data connectors between independently timed processes in digital systems. In previous work, syst...
