This paper presents an ecient approach to path delay fault simulation. We accelerate fault simulation by more than one order of magnitude with a new speed u p t e chnique called path hashing. An intelligent path identication method allows to deal with circuits containing two orders of magnitude more p aths than state-of-the-art tools. Using these techniques larger circuits can be handled with a reasonable amount of time and memory.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
