There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Title: System-level Variation-aware Aging Simulator using a Unified Novel Gate-delay Model

Abstract: The objective of the proposed research is to develop a Statistical Static Timing Analysis (SSTA) framework, which achieve accurate and efficient estimations of circuit-delay distributions considering the Process-Voltage-Temperature (PVT) variations and different aging mechanisms. The proposed framework incorporates novel gate-delay models using the multivariate adaptive regression splines (MARS) method, and is to bridge the gap between device aging models and system-level timing performances using the novel MARS-based gate-delay models.
