A Low-Cost At-Speed BIST Architecture for Embedded Processor and SRAM Cores

We have introduced a low-cost at-speed BIST architecture that enables conventional microprocessors and DSP cores to test their functional blocks and embedded SRAMs in system-on-a-chip architectures using their existing hardware and software resources. To accommodate our proposed new test methodology, minor modifications should be applied to base processor within its test phase. That is, we modify the controller to interpret some of the instructions differently only within the initial test mode. In this paper, we have proposed a fuctional self-test methodology that is deterministic in nature. In our proposed architecture, a self test program called BIST Program is stored in an embedded ROM as a vehicle for applying tests. We first start with testing processor core using our proposed architedture. Once the testing of the processor core is completed, this core is used to test the embedded SRAMs. A test algorithm which utilizes a mixture of existing memory testing techniques and covers all important memory faults is presented in this paper. The proposed memory test algorithm covers 100% of the faults under the fault model plus a data retention test. The hardware overhead in the proposed architecture is shown to be negligible. This architecture is implemented on UTS-DSP (University of Tehran and Iran Communicaton Industries (SAMA)) IC which has been designed in VLSI Circuits and Systems Laboratory.

Time shifted aliasing error upper bounds for truncated sampling cardinal series

Time shifted aliasing error upper bound extremals for the sampling reconstruction procedure are fully characterized. Sharp upper bounds are found on the aliasing error of truncated cardinal series and the corresponding extremals are described for entire functions from certain specific Lp, p>1, classes. Analogous results are obtained in multidimensional regular sampling. Truncation error analysis is provided in all cases considered. Moreover, sharpness of bounding inequalities, convergence rates and various sufficient conditions are discussed.

Efficient computation of mean drag for the subcritical flow past a circular cylinder using general Galerkin G2

General Galerkin (G2) is a new computational method for turbulent flow, where a stabilized Galerkin finite element method is used to compute approximate weak solutions to the Navier–Stokes equations directly, without any filtering of the equations as in a standard approach to turbulence simulation, such as large eddy simulation, and thus no Reynolds stresses are introduced, which need modelling. In this paper, G2 is used to compute the drag coefficient c_D for the flow past a circular cylinder at Reynolds number Re=3900, for which the flow is turbulent. It is found that it is possible to approximate c_D to an accuracy of a few percent, corresponding to the accuracy in experimental results for this problem, using less than 10⁵ mesh points, which makes the simulations possible using a standard PC. The mesh is adaptively refined until a stopping criterion is reached with respect to the error in a chosen output of interest, which in this paper is c_D. Both the stopping criterion and the mesh‐refinement strategy are based on a posteriori error estimates, in the form of a space–time integral of residuals times derivatives of the solution of a dual problem, linearized at the approximate solution, and with data coupling to the output of interest.

A POSTERIORI ESTIMATOR OF NONCONFORMING FINITE ELEMENT METHOD FOR FOURTH ORDER ELLIPTIC PERTURBATION PROBLEMS

In this paper, we consider the nonconforming finite element approximations of fourth order elliptic perturbation problems in two dimensions. We present an a posteriori error estimator under certain conditions, and give an h-version adaptive algorithm based on the error estimation. The local behavior of the estimator is analyzed as well. This estimator works for several nonconforming methods, such as the modified Morley method and the modified Zienkiewicz method, and under some assumptions, it is an optimal one. Numerical examples are reported, with a linear stationary Cahn-HiUiard-type equation as a model problem.

On the estimation of optimal batch sizes in the analysis of simulation output

The estimation of the variance of point estimators is a classical problem of stochastic simulation. A more specific problem addresses the estimation of the variance of a sample mean from a steady-state autocorrelated process. Many proposed estimators of the variance of the sample mean are parameterized by batch size. A critical problem is to find an appropriate batch size that provides a good tradeoff between bias and variance. This paper proposes a procedure for determining the optimal batch size to minimize the mean squared error of estimators of the variance of the sample mean. This paper also presents the results of empirical studies of the procedure. The experiments involve symmetric two-state Markov chain models, first-order autoregressive processes, seasonal autoregressive processes, and queue-waiting times for several M/M/1 queueing models. The empirical results indicate that the estimation procedure works nearly as well as it would if the parameters of the processes were known.
