Sproing - a fault diagnosis tool.
Sproing performs fault diagnosis using stuck-at fault
signatures. It matches the failing vectors found in
a tester data file to the fault signatures found
in a stuck-at dictionary file.
Currently, fault candidates can be one of two types:
stuck-at faults or bridging faults. The candidate list
can either be explicit or implicit. If explicit, the
candidates are read from the file cand_faultlist.
If implicit, stuck-at candidates are taken from the
stuck-at dictionary/faultlist, and bridging candidates
are constructed by the program from the stuck-at faultlist.
The top-rated candidates, by "goodness" of signature
match, are reported in the fault diagnosis. If multiple
fault types are used, a diagnosis per fault type is
produced, along with a single aggregate diagnosis for all
fault candidates.
Sproing Manual
The current Sproing man page is
available as a text document or you may wish to check out the completely
outdated User Documentation.
Sproing Executable
The compressed version of the executable is available for the following
platforms
Currently the
RS6000
contains example dictionaries in old and upcoming formats.
