Within-die parameter variation poses a major challenge to high-performance
microprocessor design, negatively impacting a processor's frequency and leakage power …

Static-timing analysis (STA) has been one of the most pervasive and successful analysis
engines in the design of digital circuits for the last 20 years. However, in recent years, the …

Seasonal forecasting of streamflows can be highly valuable for water resources
management. In this paper, a Bayesian joint probability (BJP) modeling approach for …

This paper presents an overview of common-centroid (CC) layout styles, used in analog
designs to overcome the impact of systematic variations. CC layouts must be carefully …

It is projected that increasing on-chip integration with technology scaling will lead to the so-
called dark silicon era in which more transistors are available on a chip than can be …

Memristor-based crossbars are an attractive platform to accelerate neuromorphic computing.
However, process variations during manufacturing and noise in memristors cause significant …

Process variation affects processor pipelines by making some stages slower and others
faster, therefore exacerbating pipeline unbalance. This reduces the frequency attainable by …

Common-centroid (CC) layouts are widely used in analog design to make circuits resilient to
variations by matching device characteristics. However, CC layout may involve increased …

Elevated power densities result in the so-called Dark Silicon constraint that prohibits
simultaneous activation of all the cores in an on-chip system (in the full performance mode) …

The main goal of writing this book was to present a methodological and algorithmic
perspective on the field-solver-based parasitic extraction of integrated circuits (ICs) …
