Fault simulation on reconfigurable hardware

چکیده
In this paper we introduce a new approach to fault simulation, using reconfigurable hardware to implement a critical path tracing algorithm. Our performance estimate shows that our approach is at least on order of magnitude faster than serial fault emulation used in prior work.

On Feasibility of Adaptive Level Hardware Evolution for Emergent Fault Tolerant Communication
A permanent physical fault in communication lines usually leads to a failure. The feasibility of evolution of a self organized communication is studied in this paper to defeat this problem. In this case a communication protocol may emerge between blocks and also can adapt itself to environmental changes like physical faults and defects. In spite of faults, blocks may continue to function since ...
متن کاملFault Simulation Using Partially Reconfigurable Hardware
This paper presents a fault simulation algorithm that uses efficient partial reconfiguration of FPGAs. The methodology is particularly useful for evaluation of BIST effectiveness, and for applications in which multiple fault injection is mandatory, such as safety-critical applications. A novel fault collapsing methodology is proposed, which efficiently leads to the minimal stuck-at fault list a...
متن کاملFPGA-based reconfigurable control for switch fault tolerant operation of WECS with DFIG without redundancy
This paper deals with reconfigurable back-to-back converter topology and control orders in Wind Energy Conversion Systems (WECS). A typical WECS with Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) in balanced conditions is concerned. Based on the classical topology, a fault tolerant converter without any redundancy has been studied. The presented fault tolerant topology allows a “five-leg” structure wit...
متن کاملEnvironment for Fault Simulation Acceleration on FPGA
We present an environment to accelerate fault simulation by hardware emulation on FPGA. Fault simulation is an important subtask in test pattern generation and it is frequently used throughout the test generation process. We studied the feasibility of using reconfigurable hardware emulator instead of software simulation. Experiments showed that it is beneficial to use emulation for circuits/met...
متن کاملUsing Hardware Engineering in Quantum Computation: Efficient Circuit Simulation and Reliability Improvement
1. INTRODUCTION In the quantum computational framework there are polynomial time solving algorithms, for problems having exponential classical solutions. The quest is – on one hand – to search if there are other possible effective quantum algorithms and – on the other hand – to be able to produce efficient implementations for the already known algorithms. The most feasible implementation of qua...
