Software-based self-testing methodology for processor cores.

At-speed testing of gigahertz processors using external testers may not be technically and economically feasible. Hence, there is an emerging need for low-cost high-quality self-test methodologies that can be used by processors to test themselves at-speed. Currently, built-in self-test (BIST) is the...
