Modern processors rely heavily on broadcast networks to bypass instruction results to dependent instructions in the pipeline. However, as clock rates increase, architectures get w...

In superscalar architectures, out-of-order issue mechanisms increase performance by dynamically rescheduling instructions that cannot be statically reordered by the compiler. Whil...
—When manufacturing nano-devices, defects are a certainty and reliability becomes a critical issue. Until now, the most pervasive methods used to address reliability, involve inj...
— As technology scales, the delay uncertainty caused by process variations has become increasingly pronounced in deep submicron designs. As a result, a paradigm shift from determ...

We describe a transition fault model, which is easy to simulate under test sequences that are applied at-speed, and provides a target for the generation of at-speed test sequences...
