Enhancement of sbst techniques for detection of processor faults

Abstract

At speed testing of processors is extremely difficult with any external testing technique therefore Softwarebased self testing SBST is introduced for efficient at speed testing of processors Evolutionary approaches are used for the automated synthesis of SBST codes However SBST development has been exceedingly difficult due to the sophisticated circuits of the modern processor hardware In addition the momentary nature of faults necessitates a careful and extensive test application This
