Abstract

We have seen several techniques to design the NoC-based multi-core systems in the previous chapters. To get confidence of the current operation of such system, it is required to test the manufactured chip. The task of manufacturing test of multi-core systems for its complete functionality is complex and time consuming (Kiamehr et al., Manufacturing threats. Springer, Berlin, 2018). Thus, the high stress to reduce time-to-market has made the test engineers to focus primarily onto the reduction of testtime, including thermal safety. A good test technique can improve the yield and reduce the testtime.
