Spyglass DFT is comprehensive process of resolving RTL Design issues, thereby ensuring high quality RTL with fewer design bugs.
Improves test quality by diagnosing DFT issues early at RTL or netlist.
Shortens test implementation time and cost by ensuring RTL or netlist is scan-compliant.
Scan design is currently the most popular structured DFT approach. It is implemented by Connecting selected storage elements present in the design into multiple shift registers, called Scan chains.
Scannability Rules -->
The tool perform basic two check
1) It ensures all the defined clocks including set/Reset are at their off-states, the sequential element remain stable and inactive. (S1)
2) It ensures for each defined clocks can capture data when all other defined clocks are off. (S2)

The Impact of Test Ownership and Team Structure on the Reliability and Effect...Kim Herzig
Context: Software testing is a crucial step in most software development processes. Testing software is a key component to manage and assess the risk of shipping quality products to customers. But testing is also an expensive process and changes to the system need to be tested thoroughly which may take time. Thus, the quality of a software product depends on the quality of its underlying testing process and on the effectiveness and reliability of individual test cases.
Goal: In this paper, we investigate the impact of the organizational structure of test owners on the reliability and effectiveness of the corresponding test cases. Prior empirical research on organizational structure has focused only on developer activity. We expand the scope of empirical knowledge by assessing the impact of organizational structure on testing activities.
Method: We performed an empirical study on the Windows build verification test suites (BVT) and relate effectiveness and reliability measures of each test run to the complexity and size of the organizational sub-structure that enclose all owners of test cases executed.
Results: Our results show, that organizational structure impacts both test effectiveness and test execution reliability. We are also able to predict effectiveness and reliability with fairly high precision and recall values.
Conclusion: We suggest to review test suites with respect to their organizational composition. As indicated by the results of this study, this would increase the effectiveness and reliability, development speed and developer satisfaction.

Delay Fault Testing
Propagation delay of all paths in a circuit must be less than clock period for correct operation
Functional tests applied at operational speed of circuit are often used for delay faults
Scan based stuck-at tests are often applied at speed
However, functional and stuck-at testing even if done at-speed do not specifically target delay faults

Outsystems community meetup 2018 11 service modulesProvidit
Presentation of the Belgium OutSystems Community Meetup of November 2018 about Service Modules in OutSystems Version 11
Presented by Didier Leroy from Providit.
Conventional architectures coarsely comprise of a processor, memory system, and the datapath.
Each of these components present significant performance bottlenecks.
Parallelism addresses each of these components in significant ways.
Different applications utilize different aspects of parallelism - e.g., data itensive applications utilize high aggregate throughput, server applications utilize high aggregate network bandwidth, and scientific applications typically utilize high processing and memory system performance.
It is important to understand each of these performance bottlenecks.
This is a small introduction to microservices. you can find the differences between microservices and monolithic applications. You will find the pros and cons of microservices. you will also find the challenges (Business/ technical) that you may face while implementing microservices.

Kumaran Ponnambalam, Principal Engineer of AI, Emerging Tech and Incubation at Cisco Systems, presents the “Introduction to Optimizing ML Models for the Edge” tutorial at the May 2023 Embedded Vision Summit.
Edge computing opens up a new world of use cases for deep learning across numerous markets, including manufacturing, transportation, healthcare and retail. Edge deployments also pose new challenges for machine learning, not seen in cloud deployments. Constrained resources, tight latency requirements, limited bandwidth and unreliable networks require us to rethink how we build, deploy and operate deep learning models at the edge.
In this presentation, Ponnambalam introduces proven techniques, patterns and best practices for optimizing computer vision models for the edge. He covers quantization, pruning, low-rank approximation and knowledge distillation, explaining how they work and when to use them. And he touches on how your choice of ML framework and processor affect how you use these optimization techniques.

What else has happened in 2018?
I wanted to take the opportunity to reflect on what has been an unusual year for Exactpro.
Integration front to back - Mr. Custodian tear down that wall
The scope of the application level has been continuous extended over the years, albeit with a focus on the area of pre-trade and trade.
Recently, there has been an increased interest to move further into the area of post-trade which is predominantly driven by the ISO 20022 standard. Is there really a need for new FIX messages in areas such as payments and
what are the integration problems needing a resolution?

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

TMPA-2017: Technology and Tools for Developing Industrial Software Test Suites Based on Formal Models and Implementing Scalable Testing Process on Supercomputer
1. Pavel Drobintsev, Vsevolod Kotlyarov, Ivan Selin, Alexey Tolstoles, Nikita
Voinov
Peter the Great Saint Petersburg Polytechnic University
Saint Petersburg, Russia
Scalable testing process
based on formal models
2. Model Oriented Approach
• Multilevel model of application during design process
• Behavioral model is built from requirements
• Model is iteratively specified
• Test cases are generated from this model in an automated way
03.03.2017 2
3. VRS/TAT
• Software verification and testing toolset
• Requirements are formalized in UCM language
• VRS verifier runs reachability and consistency checks
• Iterative process of model modification until all checks are passed
• Generation of symbolic traces
• Concretization (symbolic traces – traces with specific values)
• Adapting tests to run them on real system
• Testing
03.03.2017 3
4. Use Case Maps (UCM)
• High-level graphical language
for requirements modelling
• ITU Z.151
• Can be used for creating
structured behavioral diagrams
of interacting agents
• UCM notation doesn’t provide
enough information to
generate traces
03.03.2017 4
5. UCM Metadata
• Auxiliary text field linked to a
UCM responsibility
• Stores information about
variables and signals
• Signal is a way of message
transfer between agents
03.03.2017 5
6. VRS Verifier
• During the initial model development:
• Reachability and consistency checks
• During testing process:
• Generation of symbolic traces based on UCM model control flow
• Concretization (substitution of left, right and middle values from tolerance
range)
03.03.2017 6
7. VRS/TAT Levels of Abstraction
03.03.2017 7
Automated
Automated
Not automated
8. Challenges
• Data mapping problem:
• Abstract models which need to be extended in order to run against real
system
• Extension may require additional information
• New information must comply with what’s already in the model
• Amount of generated test cases may be too big to run using common
methods
03.03.2017 8
9. Data Structures Conversion Problem
• Structure of concrete test signals does not correspond with real
system signals
• Manual creation of detailed test scenarios takes too much time and
resources
03.03.2017 9
10. Data Structures Conversion. Approach
• Process called “Lowering”
• The name comes from descending on lower
levels of abstraction
• In general, “Lowering” can be described as
creating processing rules for each signal and
application of these rules to concrete
scenarios
• An editor was made to restrict user from
making incorrect structures
03.03.2017 10
11. Data Structures Conversion. Restrictions
• There are several restrictions to ensure the correctness of test
scenarios:
• If you separate concrete value into several independent parts, it is prohibited
to change them in a way, when joining them back together will give another
result than it was before separation
• Only structures similar to SUT interfaces could be used
• Only constant values from concretization and templates values are allowed
03.03.2017 11
12. Data Structures Conversion. Results
• Before introduction of “lowering”, test mapping was made by hand
after each tests generation
• After automating the tests mapping there are only 2 manual steps left
in VRS/TAT process:
• UCM model development
• Specifying “lowering” rules
• Both of them only needed to be done once
03.03.2017 12
14. Execution problem
• Huge test amount
• A lot of time needed for execution
• Costs increase
• Run tools in parallel
03.03.2017 14
15. VRS Guided Search
• VRS has an option to perform guided search
• Guide is a marked sequence on a model, which must be traversed
• All traces that don’t apply the criteria to travel through guide are cut
off by VRS during traces generation
• The idea is to set guides on UCM model and launch several VRS
instances with corresponding guides
03.03.2017 15
17. Execution process
• User sets guides in the most “thick” places of UCM model
• Several VRS instances run, each on a different compute node with a
unique set of guides
• As a result, whole test suite is divided into several parts
• Each part can be processed independently in an isolated container
(node, VM, etc.)
03.03.2017 17
18. Scalability
• Theoretically, scalability is linear
• In real life, it is not achievable because of irregular test distribution
and different execution complexity of test cases
03.03.2017 18
19. Conclusion
• Tests are generated from the verified model and can be ran against
real systems
• Presented approach allows to speed up the testing process
• It speeds up both tests generation and tests execution
• Scalable process, performance increase is limited by the model
and/or available computational resources
03.03.2017 19
21. Backup 1. New features in lowering. TDL
• There is an ability to use SUT interfaces files (*.tdl) in Lowering Editor
to obtain parameters signal structure
03.03.2017 21
22. Backup 2. Few words on VRS
• VRS works with inner model
in basic protocols (Hoare
triples)
• Each one has:
• Pre-condition
• Process
• Post-condition
03.03.2017 22
23. Backup 2. Few words on VRS
• UCM model is converted into basic
protocols model using UCM
elements location and UCM
metadata (and inverse)
• VRS matches pre and post
conditions of different elements
and checks tolerance ranges to find
all possible traces
• Guided search builds traces from
guide forward and backward
03.03.2017 23
