description: Ibrahim N. Hajj received the B.E. degree (with distinction) from the American University of Beirut (AUB), the M.S. degree from the University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, and the Ph.D. degree from the University of California at Berkeley, all in Electrical Engineering. From 1970-1978 he was with the Department of Electrical Engineering at the University of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. He spent 1973-1975 teaching at the Lebanese University in Beirut and worked as a consultant. He was a Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering and a Research Professor int the Coordinated Science Laboratory, and in the Beckman Institute, at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) 1978-2000. He served as the Dean of Engineering and Architecture at AUB from 2000 to 2010, and Professor of ECE, AUB, 2010-2014. He is currently Professor Emeritus at UIUC. His research interests include computer-aided design of VLSI circuits, design for reliability and low-power, and testing. He has published over 200 journal and conference papers and book chapters, and coauthored two books and one single-author book (this book). He and his students have received a number of best paper awards; he has given invited talks at international conferences, universities and companies, and acted as consultant to industry. He received the 1999 Golden Jubilee Medal of the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society. He is a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE), and a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS).

  Abstract: Time–domain simulation of electronic and thermal circuits is required by a large array
  of applications, such as the design and optimization of electric vehicle powertrain components.
  While efﬁcient execution is always a desirable feature of simulation codes, in certain cases like
  System-in-the-Loop setups, real-time performance is demanded. Whether real-time code execution
  can be achieved or not in a particular case depends on a series of factors, which include the
  mathematical fo
