These machines now affect the safety of humans as well as the security of personal data and consequently money transactions. To ensure the integrity of these systems' operating state, several fault detection mechanisms have been developed to safely correct or stop unforeseen execution behavior. Because of the rise of battery or even field-supplied systems these mechanisms often heavily decrease available power budgets or lead to significantly increased production costs. Therefore, this paper introduces novel micro-architectural execution signature characterization and handling techniques for system-on-chip designs providing power estimation hardware. Existing power sensor infrastructure is reused to enable efficient system-state monitoring using micro-architectural hashes to cover a wide range of implemented system functionality. Reduced hashing implementations are characterized for their fault detection efficiency. This hardware-based approach provides a completely transparent solution to counteract faults resulting from emerging wearout defects or intentional attacks on the execution integrity.","PeriodicalId":429839,"journal":{"name":"2012 17th IEEE European Test Symposium (ETS)","volume":"81 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131970589","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This problem is made worse by the increased number of adaptation settings (“tuning knob values”) and the requirement of measuring specifications at all of these settings. In this paper, a new test technique is proposed that allows the closed loop performance of the adaptation procedure to be predicted from a set of open-loop tests. The optimal knob settings where the system should be tested in open-loop are found using a gradient based search algorithm and optimized test signals are generated such that the error in performance prediction across different tuning knob settings is minimized. The results of these tests are then mapped to the performance of the adaptive system which is validated implicitly without incurring large testing and tuning costs. Simulation results and hardware measurement results prove the validity of the proposed technique.","PeriodicalId":429839,"journal":{"name":"2012 17th IEEE European Test Symposium (ETS)","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133615219","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite its benefits, the use of DVS increases test time because high product quality can only be ensured by testing every core at multiple supported voltage settings; hence the repetitive application of the same or different tests at multiple voltage settings becomes necessary. In addition, testing at lower supply voltage settings increases considerably the length of each test because lower scan frequencies must be used for shifting test data using scan chains. Standard scheduling techniques fail to reduce the test time for DVS-based SoCs since they do not model testing at multiple voltage settings. In addition, they do not consider the practical aspects of tester overhead and the dependencies between core voltage settings due to the use of voltage islands. To alleviate the detrimental impact of DVS on test application time, we propose a time-division multiplexing (TDM) method and an integer linear programming-based test scheduling technique, which exploit high automatic test equipment (ATE) frequencies even when low shift frequencies must be used at low voltage settings. Experimental results on two industrial SoCs highlight the effectiveness of TDM and the associated scheduling method.","PeriodicalId":429839,"journal":{"name":"2012 17th IEEE European Test Symposium (ETS)","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127147032","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
