Writing correct concurrent programs is harder than writing sequential ones. This is because the set of potential risks and failure modes is larger - anything that can go wrong in a sequential program ...

The semiconductor industry is driven by market demands forsmaller form factors, greater functionality, higher performance,lower power, component availability, and the need to integrate evermore ...

Since the first transistors went into production almost six decades ago, semiconductor manufacturers have looked for ways to reduce test time and manufacturing costs. As the industry has grown from ...

Semiconductor manufacturers continue to look for ways to reduce the cost of test for producing mixed-signal SOC and SIP devices. Parallel test strategies, known as multisite test, implemented on ATE ...

Concurrent circulating tumor DNA and tissue-based testing identified more patients eligible for personalized cancer care than either of the tests done alone. There are two popular testing strategies ...

Integrating plasma next-generation sequencing (NGS) alongside tissue testing when determining lung cancer diagnosis may improve outcomes for patients. Carrying out plasma next-generation sequencing ...

Semiconductor design, manufacturing, and test are becoming much more tightly integrated as the chip industry seeks to optimize designs using fewer engineers, setting the stage for greater efficiencies ...

Modern multithreaded, asynchronous code can be hard to debug. The complexity that comes with message passing and thread management results in bugs that can seem non-determinant, with little or no way ...
