The first paper in this session discusses an effective technique that extends the MTTF by exploiting the idle time of functional units in microprocessors. The second paper presents new technique for predicting circuits propagation delay in the presence of process variation. The third paper discusses an accurate analytical model to predict the delay of combinational gates subject TDDB, and the last paper presents static and dynamic stability improvements to SRAMS that minimise the impact of process variation.
