This article discusses the potential role of software-based self-testing in the microprocessor
test and validation process, as well as its supplementary role in other classic functional-and …

Software-based self-test (SBST) techniques are used to test processors and processor cores
against permanent faults introduced by the manufacturing process or to perform in-field test …

Software-based self-test (SBST) has recently emerged as an effective methodology for the
manufacturing test of processors and other components in systems-on-chip (SoCs). By …

Software-based or instruction-based self-testing has recently emerged as an effective
alternative for the manufacturing and online testing of microprocessors, and is progressively …

We study chip self-organization and fault tolerance at the architectural level to improve
dependable continuous operation of multicore arrays in massively defective …

This paper presents an effective hybrid test program for the software-based self-testing
(SBST) of pipeline processor cores. The test program combines a deterministically …

Software-based self-test (SBST) techniques are used to test processors against permanent
