Abstract
This thesis proposed a new fault partitioning parallel ATPG for shared-memory multi-core systems. Based on a pipelined fault processing principle and process synchronization, the proposed ATPG introduces no test inflation and achieves high parallelism. Furthermore, the returned test set is deterministic, even with respect to the number of utilized CPU cores; this simplifies the debugging process. Experimental results show that it achieves good speedup (3.5x ~ 9.6x with 8 cores) on the benchmarks circuits (s35932, s38417, s38584, b15s, b17s, D1, D2).
