Post-silicon validation complements traditional simulation-based pre-silicon verification and offers very high throughput since validation programs run at the speed of the actual hardware. Detection of bugs in the address translation subsystem of a microprocessor is much less straightforward than other hardware blocks because the address translation is an implicit process, which does not have an easily...
Early decisions in microprocessor design require a careful consideration of the corresponding performance and reliability implications of transient faults. The size and organization of important on-chip hardware components such as caches, register files and buffers have a direct impact on both the microprocessor resilience to soft errors and the execution time of the applications. In this paper, we...
Post-Silicon Validation faces numerous challenges in the areas of test generation efficiency, time utilization and comprehensive coverage of the various functionalities of advanced microprocessors. The proposed approach uses the concept of building a Master Test Program that is used to build multiple test-streams by utilizing an instruction pool and a data pool. It utilizes lightweight modules such...
