A deterministic BIST scheme is presented which requires less hardware overhead than pseudo-random BIST but obtains better or even complete fault coverage at the same time. It take...
Let p be a prime and let a and c be integers modulo p. The quadratic congruential generator (QCG) is a sequence (vn) of pseudorandom numbers defined by the relation vn+1 ≡ av2 n...
This paper reports that in parallel Monte-Carlo simulations of the 2D Ising-Model, commonly used pseudo-random number generators (PRNG) lead to manifestly erroneous results. When ...

Re-using embedded resources for implementing builtin self test mechanisms allows test cost reduction. In this paper we demonstrate how to implement costefficient built-in self tes...
This paper presents a new approach for designing test sequences to be generated on–chip. The proposed technique is based on machine learning, and provides a way to generate effi...
