Abstract

In this paper, a method based on multicanonical Monte Carlo (MMC) simulations that allow us to calculate the entire probability distribution function (PDF) for the received current up to very low probability with high computational efficiency was described. The distribution of the timing shift and received current due to data-pattern-dependent nonlinear interactions was calculated using MMC simulations.
