Introduction to Advanced System-on-Chip Test Design and Optimization

Appendix 1: Benchmarks

1 INTRODUCTION

This is the inputfiles for the various designs used to get the results:

  • Design Kime

  • Design Muresan 10

  • Design Muresan 20

  • ASIC Z

  • Extended ASIC Z

  • Ericsson

  • System S (and variants)

  • System L

2 FORMAT OF THE INPUTFILE

The inputfile is divided in sections, in the hope to make it clear, and easy to extend. Each section is started with a [SectionName], and is parsed row by row, and the content is interpreted according to each sections predefined format. Different values is separated by one or more spaces, lists within '{}', empty lines are ignored and everything it case-sensitive. The sign '#' causes the rest of the line to be ignored and can be used for comments.

The format of each section is described below, every single name identifying a core, block, test, etc. is required to be unique.
