Proceedings ArticleDOI
On-chip stimuli generation for post-silicon validation
TL;DR: This paper motivates the need for developing structured methods for porting the controllability aspects of pre-silicon verification into post- silicon validation environments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Wrapper design for multifrequency IP cores
Qiang Xu,Nicola Nicolici +1 more
TL;DR: It is shown how multifrequency at-speed test response capture can be achieved via the design of capture windows without any structural modifications to the logic within the embedded core.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Hardware-based parallel computing for real-time haptic rendering of deformable objects
Ramin Mafi,Shahin Sirouspour,B. Moody,Behzad Mahdavikhah,K. Elizeh,A. Kinsman,Nicola Nicolici,M. Fotoohi,D. Madill +8 more
TL;DR: The proposed implementation of the iterative conjugate gradient algorithm adaptively adjusts to variations in the dynamic range of data operands in order to enhance computation accuracy and avoid divergence due to overflow and quantization errors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Time-Multiplexed Compressed Test of SOC Designs
Adam B. Kinsman,Nicola Nicolici +1 more
TL;DR: A new algorithmic framework for test data compression is defined that is applicable to system-on-a-chip devices comprising intellectual property-protected blocks and is based on time-multiplexing the tester channels.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Robust design methods for hardware accelerators for iterative algorithms in scientific computing
Adam B. Kinsman,Nicola Nicolici +1 more
TL;DR: This work proposes a methodology for determining custom hybrid fixed/floating-point data representations for iterative scientific computing applications and addresses the shortcomings of existing techniques when applied to scientific computing dataflows.
