— Verification remains an integral and crucial phase of today’s microprocessor design and manufacturing process. Unfortunately, with soaring design complexities and decreasing...
Escaped errors in released silicon are growing in number due to the increasing complexity of modern processor designs and shrinking production schedules. Worsening the problem are ...
This paper describes a new post-silicon validation problem for diagnosing systematic timing errors. We illustrate the differences between timing validation and the traditional log...
