Efficient Failure-Detection Methods for GPU Control-Logic (Hitachi, Osaka Univ., Kyoto Univ.)


A new technical paper titled "A Hardware-Aware Failure-Detection Method for GPU Control-Logic" was published by researchers at Hitachi, Ltd., Osaka University, and Kyoto University. Excerpt "Various failure detection methods have been proposed for SDCs caused by faults in data units such as registers. However, effective methods for detecting SDCs resulting from faults in control logic, such... » read more

Root Cause Deconvolution


Scan logic diagnosis turns failing test cycles into valuable data and is an established method for digital semiconductor defect localization. The advent of layout-aware scan diagnosis represented a dramatic advance in diagnosis technology because it reduces suspect area by up to 85% and identifies physical net segments rather than entire logic nets [1-3]. The defect classifications provided by ... » read more
