Improving validation coverage metrics to account for limited observability
—In both pre-silicon and post-silicon validation, the detection of design errors requires both stimulus capable of activating the errors and checkers capable of detecting the beh...

A Functional Validation Technique: Biased-Random Simulation Guided by Observability-Based Coverage
We present a simulation-based semi-formal verification method for sequential circuits described at the registertransfer level. The method consists of an iterative loop where cove...

An observability-based code coverage metric for functional simulation
Functional simulation is the most widely used method for design verification. At various levels of abstraction, e.g., behavioral, register-transfer level and gate level, the design...

Performance assessment of an artificial immune system multiobjective optimizer by two improved metrics
In this study, we introduce two improved assessment metrics of multiobjective optimizers, Nondominated Ratio and Spacing Distribution, and analyze their rationality and validity. ...

Trace signal selection to enhance timing and logic visibility in post-silicon validation
Trace buffer technology allows tracking the values of a few number of state elements inside a chip within a desired time window, which is used to analyze logic errors during post-s...
