Estimation of FMAX and ISB in microprocessors.

Estimation of FMAX and ISB in microprocessors.

Inherent process device variations and fluctuations during manufacturing have a large impact on the microprocessor maximum clock frequency and total leakage power. These fluctuations have a statistical distribution that calls for usage of statistical methods for frequency and leakage analysis. This...
