A dynamic communication strategy for the distributed ATPG systemDPLATON

摘要

The structure of the distributed computing ATPG system DPLATON isnpresented, with special emphasis on the distribution strategy basis andnthe communication structures implemented. The proposed system is basednon a dynamic fault list partition criterion. The standard remotenprocedure call (RPC) and external data representation (XDR) mechanismsnhave been adapted to construct an efficient dynamic distributednimplementation. Reduced test sets and important CPU time speedup factorsnare reported
