Temperature variation aware multi-scale delay, power and thermal analysis at RT and gate level
We propose MiMAPT, an approach for analyzing delay, power and temperature in digital circuits. MiMAPT integrates seamlessly into major industrial Front-end and Back-end chip design flows. We showed that the sensitivity of delay and power to temperature grows with scaling down the fabrication technology. We quantified the estimation error that has to be expected when assuming a uniform temperature across the die. MiMAPT is implemented in Python and is available as a completely stand-alone and fully functional software.
