As CMOS technology feature sizes decrease, random within-die and inter-die process variations more and more jeopardizeSoCparametricandfunctionalyield.Largely neglectedintheState-Of-the-Art,dynamicenergyconsumption and power dissipation becomes heavily affected. This paper describes a technique to systematically bring statistically correlated timing/energy variations all the way up from the device to the SoC level. We propose a flow for Variability Aware Modeling (VAM) and apply it to a case study using a industrial test vehicle.978-1-4244-2953-0/09/$25.00
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
