Input Space Partitioning and Other Heuristics for Minimizing the Number of Corner Simulations During Design Verification
DownloadFall 2017
The continuing reduction in the feature sizes of the latest CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) technologies allow faster, more compact, and more energy-efficient integrated circuits (ICs). On the downside, the performance of each transistor becomes harder and harder to characterise...

Stochastic Computational Approaches for the Reliability Evaluation of Nanoelectronic Circuits
DownloadSpring 2012
Reliability is fast becoming a major concern due to the nanometric scaling of CMOS technology. This thesis work initially presents novel computational models based on stochastic computation; in these models, probabilities are encoded in the statistics of random binary bit streams. A computational...

Fall 2017
In the Internet of Things (IoT) era, security has increasingly become a challenge, so encryption has been widely used to protect data. Random number generators (RNGs), as an essential part of cryptographic systems, are implemented in connected devices for information security. However, inadequate...
