Software-Based Self-Test is an effective methodology for devising the online testing of
Systems-on-Chip. In the automotive field, a set of test programs to be run during mission …

Nowadays Graphical Processing Units (GPUs) have become increasingly popular due to
their high computational power and low prices. This makes them particularly suitable for …

Software based self-testing of embedded processor cores provides an excellent technique
for balancing the testing effort for complex Systems-on-Chip (SoC) between slow …

Register files are in the critical path of most high-performance processors and their latency is
one of the most important factors that limit their size. Our goal is to develop error correction …

Software self-testing for embedded processor cores based on their instruction set, is a topic
of increasing interest since it provides an excellent test resource partitioning technique for …

Software-based self-test (SBST) is a promising approach for testing a processor core
embedded in a system-on-chip (SoC) system. Test routine development for SBST can be …

Testing processor cores embedded in systems-on-chip (SoCs) is a major concern for
industry nowadays. In this paper, we describe a novel solution which merges the SBST and …

Nowadays, Self-Test strategies for testing embedded processors are increasingly diffused,
especially for safety critical systems. Test programs can be effectively used for this purpose …

Very long instruction word (VLIW) processors are increasingly employed in a large range of
embedded signal processing applications, mainly due to their ability to provide high …

Traditionally, the usage of caches and deterministic execution of on-line self-test procedures
have been considered two mutually exclusive concepts. At the same time, software executed …
