Abstract:
1. A method, comprising: one or more computers performing: pseudorandomly generating an initial set of N observation points of a stochastic model of a digital electronic circuit dependent upon a probability distribution function, wherein pseudorandomly generating the initial set of N observation points comprises simulating the digital electronic circuit, wherein each of the initial set of N observation points is generated independently of any other point within the initial set of N observation points, wherein each of the initial set of N observation points is generated based on a respective seed, wherein each seed is formatted as a parameter of a callable pseudorandom number generator function, and wherein a sequence of pseudorandom numbers used to generate a given one of the initial set of N observation points is reproducible from the respective seed corresponding to the given one of the initial set of an observation point, wherein N is an integer;
