Rare event simulation for electronic circuit design

Abstract

In this work, we propose an algorithm to simulate rare events for electronic circuit design. Our approach heavily relies on a smart use of importance sampling, which enables us to tackle probabilities of the magnitude 10 --10. Not only can we compute very rare default probability, but we can also compute the quantile associated to a given default probability and its expected shortfall. We show the impressive efficiency of method on real circuits.
