Functional verification of microprocessors is one of the most complex and expensive tasks in the current system-on-chip design process. A significant bottleneck in the validatio...
Today, many formal analysis tools are not only used to provide certainty but are also used to debug software systems – a role that has traditional been reserved for testing tool...
Abstract. This paper presents a technique that uses code to automatically generate its own test cases at run-time by using a combination of symbolic and concrete (i.e., regular) ex...
Irreversible computation necessarily results in energy dissipation due to information loss. While small in comparison to the power consumption of today’s VLSI circuits, if curre...
This paper develops new techniques for detecting both stuck-open faults and resistive open faults, which result in increased delays along some paths. The improved detection of CMO...
