The paper integrates automatically generated case-splitting expressions, and an efficient translation to CNF, in order to formally verify an out-of-order superscalar processor havi...
Current integration trends embrace the prosperity of single-chip multi-core processors. Although multi-core processors deliver significantly improved system throughput, single-thr...
Caches are crucial components in modern processors (both stand-alone or integrated into SoCs) and their test is a challenging task, especially when addressing complex and high-fre...

CMOS technology trends are leading to an increasing incidence of hard (permanent) faults in processors. These faults may be introduced at fabrication or occur in the field. Wherea...
The current methodology used in mass-market processor design is to create a single base microarchitecture (e.g., Intel's "Core"or AMD's"K8") that is ...
