摘要: FALCON (FAst fauLt COverage estimatioN) is a scalable method for fault grading which uses local simulations to estimate the coverage of large system. The generality this makes it applicable any modular design. Our analysis shows that run time our algorithm related number gates and IOs in module, while simulation total We have measured OR1200 IVM processors compared results with performed by commercial tool. also sampling. show designs an order magnitude faster simulation. It has smaller error rate sampling when size design under test grows.
