Software-based self-test (SBST) has recently emerged as an effective methodology for the manufacturing test of processors and other components in systems-on-chip (SoCs). By moving ...
Predicate abstraction has been proved effective for verifying several infinite-state systems. In predicate abstraction, an abstract system is automatinstructed given a set of predi...
Building a high-performance microprocessor presents many reliability challenges. Designers must verify the correctness of large complex systems and construct implementations that ...
