After winning accolades and finally the best paper award at the 2004 DAC (Design Automation Conference) for advancements in statistical-timing-analysis research, IBM Research made its EinsTimer Statistical Timing tool commercially available in 2005. The tool gives a truer account of circuit performance than static tools, which are driven by overly pessimistic corner files. EinsTimer Statistical Timing seemingly debunks the long-held myth that accurate statistical analysis of multimillion gate designs is computationally intractable.
