Despite the large research efforts in the SW–DSM community, this technology has not yet been adapted widely for significant codes beyond benchmark suites. One of the reasons co...
1 This paper presents a solution to the test time minimization problem for core-based systems that contain sequential cores with STUMPS architecture. We assume a hybrid BIST approa...
