System-on-chip (SOCs) test minimization has received a lot of attention in the past few years. However, most recent work assumed flat hierarchy. This assumption is unrealistic especially in the case of non-mergeable legacy ...

Network-on-Chip (NoC) is an on-chip communication methodology that has been proposed as an alternative to bus-based communication in order to cope with the increased complexity in embedded designs. This paper presents a ...

In this thesis we tackle three problems related to System-on-Chip. The first problem deals with test pattern generation. The purpose is to generate a set of test patterns that catch all the faults in a core. The problem ...
