New book, coauthored by Dr. Tan, "Advanced Symbolic Analysis for VLSI Systems -- Methods and Applications" published
A new book by Dr. Sheldon Tan, Dr. Guoyong Shi and Esteban Tlelo-Cuautle, has been published by Springer:
Guoyong Shi, Sheldon X.-D. Tan, Esteban Tlelo-Cuautle, Advanced Symbolic Analysis for VLSI Systems -- Methods and Applications,Springer, 2014
This book provides comprehensive coverage of the recent advances in symbolic analysis techniques for design automation of nanometer VLSI systems. The presentation is organized in parts of fundamentals, basic implementation methods and applications for VLSI design. Topics emphasized include statistical timing and crosstalk analysis, statistical and parallel analysis, performance bound analysis and behavioral modeling for analog integrated circuits Among the recent advances, the Binary Decision Diagram (BDD) based approaches are studied in depth. The BDD-based hierarchical symbolic analysis approaches , have essentially broken the analog circuit size barrier.
This is the 5th book Dr. Sheldon Tan authored or co-authored. Thanks for Dr. Haibao Chen and Ph.D. student Yan Zhu for their help to finalize this book.
