Using concurrent and semi-concurrent on-line testing during HLS: an adaptable approach

This paper proposes a suitable on-line testing technique during the synthesis of complex electronic structures. Online testability is addressed by exploiting time redundancy in the scheduled data flow graph. On-line testability constraints are taken into account at the scheduling and allocation tasks. The technique implements non-concurrent; semi-concurrent or fully concurrent on-line tests according to the ability of the synthesized structure.
