   SESSION 13
  Power Grid Analysis and Design
  Chair: Sani R. Nassif - IBM Corp., Austin, TX
  Organizers: Farid N. Najm, Vikram Jandhyala

  Design and verification of the power grid have become critical steps for achieving timing success and noise free operation in high-performance integrated circuits. This session presents a sequence of excellent papers that cover a spectrum of issues in this area. It starts with a detailed study of power grid design issues covering inductance and decoupling capacitors in large microprocessor design. Subsequent papers cover detailed power grid simulation, variational analysis of the grid parasitics, and budgeting techniques for the decoupling capacitance.
