This paper describes a novel technique called Embedded Test-bench Control (ETC), extensively used in the verification of Tensilica’s latest configurable processor. Conventional ...
Distributed hard real-time systems have become a major component of many advanced technical products. Means to ensure their proper quality are thus of paramount importance. To ens...
The launch of new features for mobile phones is increasing and the product life cycle symmetrically decreasing in duration as higher levels of sophistication are reached. Therefor...
Register file (RF) is extremely vulnerable to soft errors, and traditional redundancy based schemes to protect the RF are prohibitive not only because RF is often in the timing c...
Circuits using nano-meter technologies are becoming increasingly vulnerable to signal interference from multiple noise sources as well as radiation-induced soft errors. One way to...
