Driven by the need to objectively measure the progress of their verification efforts and the contributions of different verification techniques, IC designers have adopted coverage as a metric. However ...

R is an open-source programming language and environment with powerful and extensive features for data analysis, data visualization, and statistical computing. Although R first appeared in the 1990s, ...

The virtual validation of subsystem performances (Pop-up Noise, Signal-to-Noise Ratio, Power supply Noise, Power consumption...) requires the modeling and simulation of complete subsystems.

Advancements in Simulation Methodologies Simulation is getting a serious upgrade, and it’s not just about faster computers ...

Since the beginning of the semiconductor industry, mask-data preparation (MDP) and mask verification (MV) have been shape-based: each shape has been treated as an entity unto itself, and if each ...

Economic models can use either a patient- or cohort-level modelling approach to estimate the expected costs and outcomes across a particular population. In a patient-level simulation, the outcomes are ...

Advances in materials, processes and packaging have enabled designers to achieve unprecedented levels of miniaturization. These designs can realize very high power densities. However, removing heat ...
