Abstract
A system that determines the performance of an integrated circuit (IC). During operation, the system receives probability distributions for parameters for the IC. Next, the system generates samples of the IC, wherein generating a given sample involves using the probability distribution to assign values to the parameters for components within the IC. The system then calculates output performance metrics for the samples based on the assigned values of the parameters, and uses the calculated output performance metrics to generate a distribution of output performance metrics for the samples.
