Abstract. This paper considers the automatic generation of architectural tests (ATGP), a fundamental problem in processor validation. ATGPs are complex conditional constraint satis...

We present a framework for validating the compliance of a design with a given architecture. Our approach is centered on the concept of misinterpretations. These include missing be...
In current design practice synthesis tools play a key role, letting designers to concentrate on the specificationof the system being designed by carrying out repetitive tasks such...
– An instruction set level reference model was developed for the development of synergistic processing unit (SPU) , which is one of the key components of the cell processor [1][2...

Functional validation is a major bottleneck in pipelined processor design. Simulation using functional test vectors is the most widely used form of processor validation. While exi...
