Network-on-chip (NoC) based system-on-chips (SoC) has been a promising paradigm of core-based systems. It is difficult and challenging to test the individual Intellectual property IP cores of SoC with the constraints of test time and test power. By reusing the on-chip communication network of NoC for the testing of different cores in SoC, the test time and test cost can be reduced effectively. In this paper, we have proposed a power-aware test scheduling by reusing existing on-chip communication network. On-chip test clock frequencies are used for power efficient test scheduling. In this paper, an integer linear programming (ILP) model is proposed. This model assigns different frequencies to the NoC cores in such a way that it reduces the test time without crossing the power budget. Experimental results on the ITC’02 benchmark SoCs show that the proposed ILP method gives up to 50% reduction in test time compared to the existing method.

System-on-chip (SOC) has become a mainstream design practice that integrates intellectual property cores on a single chip. The SOC test scheduling problem maximizes the simultaneous test of all cores by determining the order in which various cores are tested. The problem is tightly coupled with the test access mechanism (TAM) bandwidth and wrapper design. This paper presents a strength Pareto evolutionary algorithm for the SOC test scheduling problem with the objective of minimizing the power-constrained test application time, wrapper design and TAM assignment in flat and hierarchical core-based systems. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the method using the ITC’02 benchmarks.
