There's been a shift in what's needed in modeling standards for IC design. The focus has moved from timing to power consumption. Timing modeling, which dominated much of the effort from the early to ...

Power, heat, and their combined effects on aging and reliability, are becoming increasingly critical variables in the design of chips that will be used across a variety of new and existing markets. As ...

Simulations are an important part of the verification cycle in the process of hardware designing. It can be performed at varying degrees of physical abstraction: In many companies RTL simulations is ...
