A monotone distribution P over a (partially) ordered domain assigns higher probability to y than to x if y x in the order. We study several natural problems concerning testing pr...
We present a selective encoding method that reduces test data volume and test application time for scan testing of Intellectual Property (IP) cores. This method encodes the slices ...
We introduce the notion of a Canonical Tester for a class of properties on distributions, that is, a tester strong and general enough that “a distribution property in the class ...
This paper proposes a new fault coverage estimation model which can be used in the early stage of VLSI design. The fault coverage model is an exponentially decaying function with ...
Both custom IC and FPGA designs in the nanometer regime suffer from process variations. But different from custom ICs, FPGAs' programmability offers a unique design freedom t...
