Modern semiconductor chip design faces growing complexity due to numerous timing scenarios driven by varying operating ...

As the electronic design industry continues to push the limits of Moore's Law, a paradigm shift in timing analysis must be considered. The major reason for this is overly pessimistic timing analysis, ...

These optimizations not only improved resource utilization and minimized congestion but also enhanced power distribution, ...

Since DAC 2005, there has been extensive discussion about using Statistical Static Timing Analysis (SSTA) to verify current and future generations of designs manufactured at 90 nm or below. Given the ...

Deftly optimizing ASIC critical paths, this tool rides atop existing cell-based flows to improve timing while leaving physical design largely undisturbed. Timing closure for ASIC design has always ...

Statistical static timing analysis (SSTA) offers a number of advantages over traditional corner based static timing analysis. Most notably, it provides a more realistic estimation of timing relative ...

Power consumption is a primary design consideration for today's systems-on-a-chip (SoCs). Consequently, pervasive powerreduction techniques are now an established part of the design process from ...

NEWARK, Calif. –– March 15, 2004 – Prolific Inc., the leading provider of design optimization and automated standard cell creation software, today announced its entrance into the Semiconductor ...

ABSTRACT New methodologies have been developed to optimize EGR rate and injection timing in diesel engines, with the aim of minimizing fuel consumption (FC) and NOₓ engine-out emissions. The approach ...
