Microprocessor technology is increasingly used for many applications; the large market volumes call for cost containment in the production phase. Process yield for processor produ...
Manufacturing processes are a key source of faults in complex hardware systems. Minimizing this impact of manufacturing uncertainties is one way towards achieving fault tolerant s...
This paper presents an innovative method for inserting test points in the circuit-under-test to obtain complete fault coverage for a specified set of test patterns. Rather than us...
Abstract—Networks-on-Chip (NoCs) are implicitly fault tolerant due to their inherent redundancy. They can overcome defective cores, links and switches. As a side effect, yield is...

Despite extensive testing in the development phase, residual defects can be a great threat to dependability in the operational phase. This paper studies the utility of lowcost, ge...
