Symmetric Multiprocessors (SMPs), combined with modern interconnection technologies are commonly used to build cost-effective compute clusters. However, contention among processor...
Clusters of SMPs are becoming increasingly common. However, the shared memory design of SMPs and the consequential contention between system processors for access to main memory c...
— In this paper, we are proposing a core-based test methodology that utilizes the functional bus for test stimuli and response transportation. An efficient algorithm for the gen...
