PROJECT TITLE :

In-Field Test for Permanent Faults in FIFO Buffers of NoC Routers - 2016

ABSTRACT:

This transient proposes an on-line clear take a look at technique for detection of latent onerous faults which develop in 1st-input first-output buffers of routers during field operation of NoC. The technique involves repeating tests periodically to forestall accumulation of faults. A prototype implementation of the proposed take a look at algorithm has been integrated into the router-channel interface and on-line take a look at has been performed with synthetic self-similar information traffic. The performance of the NoC once addition of the take a look at circuit has been investigated in terms of throughput while the world overhead has been studied by synthesizing the check hardware. As well, an on-line check technique for the routing logic has been proposed which considers utilizing the header flits of the info traffic movement in transporting the check patterns.
