Modeling and testing crosstalk faults in inter-core interconnects that include tri-state and bi-directional nets

In this paper, we carry out a systematic simulation study of crosstalk effects in inter-core interconnects that include tri-state and bi-directional nets and have arbitrary topologies. These studies allow us to develop a new crosstalk fault model for such interconnects. We also develop a framework to generate compact tests for such interconnects. We present experimental results that show that the proposed approach provides high fault coverage using a small number of tests.
