摘要
The problem of test generation for logic circuits is known to be NP-hard, and hence, it is very hard to speedup the test generation process due to its backtracking mechanism. This paper presents an approach to parallel processing of test generation for logic circuits in a loosely-coupled distributed network of general purpose computers, and analyzes the effects of the allocation of target faults to processors, the optimal granularity (grain size of target faults), and the speedup ratio of the multiple processor system to a single processor system. © 1990 IEEE
