Cascaded Bayesian inferencing for switching activity estimation with correlated inputs.

In this paper, we investigate the estimation of switching activity in VLSI circuits using a graphical probabilistic model based on cascaded Bayesian networks (CBNs). First, we develop a theoretical analysis for Bayesian inferencing of switching activity and then derive upper bounds for certain circu...
