This session focuses on two general topics: power supply networks and transistor aging effects. The first paper proposes a methodology to more accurately select library characterization voltages to account for aging in the presence of adaptive voltage scaling. The second paper provides an efficient way to simultaneously analyze the electrical and thermal behaviour of a power grid while the third paper uses process, voltage, temperature, and aging sensors at the architecture level to improve the performance of a circuit. The fourth paper describes a new way to construct area-efficient irregular power networks.
