As embedded systems continue to face increasingly higher performance requirements, deeply pipelined processor architectures are being employed to meet desired system performance. ...
Modern superscalar processors implement precise interrupts by using the Reorder Buffer (ROB). In some microarchitectures , such as the Intel P6, the ROB also serves as a repositor...

This paper develops an improved approach for hierarchical functional test generation for complex chips. In order to deal with the increasing complexity of functional test generati...
The purpose of this paper is twofold: first, to illustrate a stand-alone board-level evolvable system (SABLES) and its performance, and second to illustrate some problems that occ...
