The increased focus on heuristics for the approximate solution of integer programs has led to more sophisticated analysis methods for studying their performance. This paper is concerned with the worst ...

This first post in The Worst Case blog focuses on the skills, resources, and techniques needed to properly perform a worst-case circuit analysis and some of the reasons why worst-case circuit analysis ...

Concurrently, hardware architects have been refining real-time processors such as Patmos, by rethinking the balance between average-case performance and worst-case predictability.

The Worst Case looks at the challenges associated with performing worst case circuit analysis (WCCA). This analysis is critical to many high reliability applications including those in the automotive, ...

Digital worst-case timing analysis (WCTA) analyzes the timing of digital devices under worst-case end-of-life conditions including initial, temperature, aging, and radiation tolerances.

In this paper, we analyze the worst-case performance of heuristics for the classical economic lot-sizing problem with time-invariant cost parameters. We consider a general class of online heuristics ...

AEi Systems completed worst case circuit analyses for PerkinElmer’s Rubidium Atomic Frequency Standard (RAFS), a critical portion of GPS III. RAFS is ...

The government went ahead with the controversial exam results algorithm despite England’s exams regulator warning it was the “worst-case scenario”, Ofqual ‘s chair has said.
