New evolutionary techniques for test-program generation for complex microprocessor cores
Checking if microprocessor cores are fully functional at the end of the productive process has become a major issue. Traditional functional approaches are not sufficient when cons...

Performance improvement with circuit-level speculation
Current superscalar microprocessors’ performance depends on its frequency and the number of useful instructions that can be processed per cycle (IPC). In this paper we propose a...

On Testing the Path Delay Faults of a Microprocessor Using its Instruction Set
1 This paper addresses the problem of testing path delay faults in a microprocessor using instructions. It is observed that a structurally testable path (i.e., a path testable thro...

A Mechanism for Online Diagnosis of Hard Faults in Microprocessors
We develop a microprocessor design that tolerates hard faults, including fabrication defects and in-field faults, by leveraging existing microprocessor redundancy. To do this, we...
