Abstract :
This paper examined how recent innovations in processor technology are pushing the limits for ATE applications. Various multicore programming techniques were discussed including task parallelism, data parallelism, and pipelining. In addition, an example of optimizing complex analysis was covered. The benefits of adopting multicore technology and parallel software architectures include a reduction in overall test time, more sophisticated simulation approaches, and the ability to analyze complex systems.
