Abstract--Functional verification is one of the major bottlenecks in system-on-chip design due to the combined effects of increasing complexity and lack of automated techniques for...
Functional validation is a major bottleneck in the current SOC design methodology. While specification-based validation techniques have proposed several promising ideas, the time ...
Model checking techniques are promising for automated generation of directed tests. However, due to the prohibitively large time and resource requirements, conventional model chec...
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...
Due to the increased speed in modern designs, testing for delay faults has become an important issue in the postproduction test of manufactured chips. A high fault coverage is nee...
