Abstract :
A method for improving the performance of concurrent fault simulators for combinational and synchronous sequential circuits is proposed. The paper identifies two causes of inefficiencies and a simple and uniform method to eliminate them. A simulator, FASTS, based on the method proposed in the paper is implemented and it is shown that FASTS outperforms the existing concurrent simulation methods proposed in literature.<>
