The problem of test generation belongs to the class of NP-complete problems and it is becoming more and more di cult as the complexity of VLSI circuits increases, and as long as e...

As general-purpose parallel computers are increasingly being used to speed up different VLSI applications, the development of parallel algorithms for circuit testing, logic minimi...
Simulated annealing based standard cell placement for VLSI designs has long been acknowledged as a compute-intensive process. All previous work in parallel simulated annealing bas...
This paper discusses an automated method to build scan chains at the register-transfer level (RTL) for powerconstrained at-speed testing. By analyzing a circuit at the RTL, where ...
In this paper, we present results for significantly improving the performance of sequential circuit diagnostic test pattern generation (DATPG). Our improvements are achieved by de...
