reliability assessment of integrated circuits. Reliability analysis and the
simulation of self-test structures are particularly computationally expensive
as a large number of patterns has to be evaluated. In this work, we propose to
map a fault simulation algorithm based on the parallel-pattern single-fault
propagation (PPSFP) paradigm to many-core architectures and describe the
involved algorithmic optimizations. Many-core architectures are characterized
by a high number of simple execution units with small local memory. The
proposed fault simulation algorithm exploits the parallelism of these
architectures by use of parallel data structures. The algorithm is implemented
for the NVIDIA GT200 Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) architecture and achieves a
speed-up of up to 17x compared to an existing GPU fault-simulation algorithm
and up to 16x compared to state-of-the-art algorithms on conventional processor
architectures.}, url = {http://www2.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de/cgi-bin/NCSTRL/NCSTRL_view.pl?id=INPROC-2010-91&engl=0} }

architecture, which for the first time enables an autonomous on-chip evaluation
of test responses with negligible hardware overhead. The key advantage of this
architecture is that all data, which is relevant for a subsequent diagnosis, is
gathered during just one test session. The BISD method comprises a hardware
scheme, a test pattern generation approach and a diagnosis algorithm.
Experiments conducted with industrial designs substantiate that the additional
hardware overhead introduced by the BISD method is on average about 15\% of the
BIST area, and the same diagnostic resolution can be obtained as for external

When selecting which locations in the circuit to harden, priority should be
given to critical spots for which an error is likely to cause a system

available in early design steps. We employ a selection strategy which takes
only gate-level information into account and does not use any low-level

an accurate SER estimator based on the new UGC particle strike model. Although
only partial information is utilized for hardening, the exact validation shows
that the susceptibility of a circuit to soft errors is reduced significantly.

challenge for design and test. To avoid unnecessary yield loss and to ensure

standard structural test procedures still address classical fault models and
cannot deal with the non-deterministic behavior caused by parameter variations
and other reasons. Chips may be rejected, even if the test reveals only
non-critical failures that could be compensated during system operation. This
paper introduces a scheme for embedded test, which can distinguish critical
permanent and noncritical transient failures for circuits with time redundancy.
To minimize both yield loss and the overall test time, the scheme relies on
partitioning the test into shorter sessions. If a faulty signature is observed
at the end of a session, a rollback is triggered, and this particular session
is repeated. An analytical model for the expected overall test time provides
guidelines to determine the optimal parameters of the scheme.}, url = {http://www2.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de/cgi-bin/NCSTRL/NCSTRL_view.pl?id=INPROC-2008-35&engl=0} }

to soft errors. In combinational logic a particle strike may lead to a glitch

Circuit level modeling and analysis of SETs provides an attractive compromise
between computationally expensive simulations at device level and less accurate
techniques at higher levels. At the circuit level particle strikes crossing a
pn-junction are traditionally modeled with the help of a transient current
source. However, the common models assume a constant voltage across the
pn-junction, which may lead to inaccurate predictions concerning the shape of
expected glitches. To overcome this problem, a refined circuit level model for
strikes through pnjunctions is investigated and validated in this paper. The
refined model yields significantly different results than common models. This
has a considerable impact on SEU prediction, which is confirmed by extensive
simulations at gate level. In most cases, the refined, more realistic, model
reveals an almost doubled risk of a system failure after an SET.}, url = {http://www2.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de/cgi-bin/NCSTRL/NCSTRL_view.pl?id=INPROC-2007-78&engl=0} }

Consequently, delay fault testing is expected to require a larger mapping

consider the so-called transition fault model, which is widely used for

Deterministic Logic BIST (DLBIST) architecture. We consider several DLBIST
implementation options that result in test sequences of different lengths.
Resistive bridging faults are used as a surrogate of non-target defects.
Experimental data obtained for largest ISCAS benchmarks suggests that, although
DLBIST always guarantees complete stuck-at coverage, test sequence length does
influence the non-target defect detection capabilities. For circuits with a
large fraction of random-pattern resistant faults, the embedded deterministic
patterns as well as a sufficient amount of random patterns are both
demonstrated to be essential for non-target defect detection. It turns out,
moreover, that area cost is lower for DLBIST solutions with longer test
sequences, due to additional degrees of freedom for the embedding procedure and
a lower number of faults undetected by pseudorandom patterns. This implies that
DLBIST is particularly effective in covering non-target defects.}, url = {http://www2.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de/cgi-bin/NCSTRL/NCSTRL_view.pl?id=INPROC-2005-116&engl=0} }

advantages can be found in applying such a technique. The fault coverage and
the test time are roughly the same as those achieved using a standard BIST
scheme. The area overhead is nearly negligible and there is no penalty on the
circuit delay. The proposed BIST scheme does not require any circuit design
modification beyond the parallel BIST technique, is easily implemented and has
low impact on the design time. It has been implemented based on an LFSR-based
TPG, but can also be designed using a cellular automata. Reductions of the

performance degradation. Recently, some authors proposed test pattern
generation on chip by means of functional units also used in system mode like
adders or multipliers. These schemes generate pseudo-random or
pseudo-exhaustive patterns for serial or parallel BIST. If the circuit under
test contains random pattern resistant faults a deterministic test pattern
generator is necessary to obtain complete fault coverage.
In this paper it is shown that a deterministic test set can be encoded as
initial values of an accumulator based structure, and all testable faults can
be detected within a given test length by carefully selecting the seeds of the
accumulator. A ROM is added for storing the seeds, and the control logic of the
accumulator is modified. In most cases the size of the ROM is less than the
size required by traditional LFSR-based reseeding approaches.}, url = {http://www2.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de/cgi-bin/NCSTRL/NCSTRL_view.pl?id=INPROC-1998-41&engl=0} }

To reduce the storage requirements for the deterministic patterns it relies on
a two-dimensional compression scheme, which combines the advantages of known
vertical and hoizontal compression techniques. To reduce both the number of
patterns to be stored and the number of bits to be stored for each pattern,
deterministic test cubes are encoded as seeds of an LFSR (horizontal
compression), and the seeds are again compressed into seeds of a folding
counter sequence (vertical compression). The proposed BIST architecture is
fully compatible with standard scan esign, simple and flexible, so that sharing
between several logic cores is p0ossible. Experimental results show that the
proposed scheme requires less test data storage than previously publiched
approaches providing the same flexibility and scan compatibility.}, url = {http://www2.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de/cgi-bin/NCSTRL/NCSTRL_view.pl?id=ART-2002-11&engl=0} }

testing of embedded DRAMs. It is based on a new technique for output data
compression which offers the same benefits as signature analysis during offline
test, but also supports efficient online consistency checking. The initial
fault-free memory contents are compressed to a reference characteristic and
compared to test characteristics periodically. The reference characteristic
depends on the memory contents, but unlike similar characteristics based on
signature analysis, it can be easily updated concurrently with WRITE
operations. This way, changes in memory do not require a time consuming
recomputation. The respective test characteristics can be efficiently computed
during the periodic refresh operations of the dynamic RAM. Experiments show
that the proposed technique significantly reduces the time between the
occurrence of an error and its detection (error detection latency). Compared to
error detecting codes (EDC) it also achieves a significantly higher error
coverage at lower hardware costs. Therefore, it perfectly complements standard
online checking approaches relying on EDC, where the concurrent detection of
certain types of errors is guaranteed, but only during READ operations
