FAST-SC: Fast Fault Simulation in Synchronous Sequential circuits
Bernd Becker, R. Krieger · 2005
In this paper we present FAST-sc, a fast fault simulator for synchronous sequential circuits. The simulation strategy is based on the recently published parallel sequence fault simulation algorithm (PSF) [7]. FAST-SC contains several features leading to a further performance improvement: On the one hand, the kernel of the PSF algorithm is accelerated. On the other hand, the number of faults that must be injected during fault simulation is reduced. The effectiveness of these methods is illustrated by running FAST-SC on some benchmark circuits [4].
