| | Tutorial 2 - Practical Aspects of Coping with Variability: An Electrical View
|
| | Organizer(s): Chandu Visweswariah
|
| | This comprehensive tutorial on the electrical aspects of variability will be presented by leading industry practitioners and academic researchers. Emphasis will be placed on practical techniques and methodologies for analyzing and dealing with variability. The tutorial will consist of four main sections:
1) The tutorial begins with understanding exactly where the variability is coming from and classifying the sources of variability into systematic and random effects.
2) The second section focuses on test and characterization structures for both logic and array applications, and how to reflect variability in timing and power models, including speculation on emerging statistical timing model standards.
3) The next section is a practical introduction to statistical timing and optimization techniques, with a focus on timing methodology considerations to cope with variability while reducing timing pessimism.
4) The final section will concentrate on deployment of both physical and electrical DFM solutions and present a taxonomy of available DFM tools and the corresponding methodologies into which they fit.
This is a unique opportunity to learn about the latest developments from the experts!
