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, ...

The chip industry traditionally has relied on margins to help them mitigate timing problems, but an increasing array of factors are now influencing timing. Can static timing analysis evolve to address ...

Recently, many methodologies have been introduced for reducing dynamic power for systems-on-chip (SoCs). These methodologies, however, impose restrictive physical constraints which have schedule ...

Modern semiconductor chip design faces growing complexity due to numerous timing scenarios driven by varying operating conditions and physical effects. This complexity is especially pronounced in ...

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 ...

The relentless march towards shrinking technology nodes has ushered in a new era of intricate semiconductor designs characterized by a proliferation of transistors. This intensifying complexity brings ...
