MSLAB announced the circuit complexity reduction tool – UiMOR V1.0. UiMOR can reduce general parasitic RLC circuits in the post-layout design stage to boost the verification process. It accepts general SPICE netlist and produces the reduced SPICE-compatible netlists, thus it fits seamless with existing VLSI design verification flow. UiMOR will be announced in the ICSICT...
Ph.D. student Duo Li has successfully defended his Ph.D. thesis today. His thesis is titled Modeling, Characterization and Simulation of On-Chip Power Delivery Networks and Temperature Profile on Multi-Core Microprocessors. Duo is the 8 th Ph.D. student graduated from MSLAB since 2002. Duo joined Synposys in Mountain View, CA in July 2010. We wish Duo...
